It is being reported that university appointees of the Russian occupier are throwing away Ukrainian books from the Pryazovskyi State Technical University in Mariupol. Some are dumped right from the window. Apparently, Russia is systemically destroying all things Ukraine in the occupied towns in an attempt to erase Ukrainian identity in the occupied territories (Photo: P.Andryushchenko). This is part of a wider action:
Occupation troops seize and destroy Ukrainian literature and history textbooks.
The seizure of Ukrainian historical and fiction literature that does not coincide with the postulates of Kremlin propaganda has begun in the libraries of the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Russian units of the "military police" were involved in this. At this point, in addition to the repressive, they perform so-called "ideological functions". The police are most interested in books on the history of Ukrainian Maidans, ATO / OOS, and the history of Ukrainian liberation struggles.
"Extremist" literature includes school textbooks on Ukrainian history, scientific and popular historical literature. The occupiers have a whole list of names forbidden to be mentioned. Mazepa, Petliura, Bandera, Shukhevych, Chornovil are among them. In the cities of Kreminna, Rubizhne (Luhansk Oblast), Horodnia (Chernihiv Oblast) there are cases of seizure of the book "The Case of Vasyl Stus" by Vakhtang Kipiani.
Found books are confiscated, destroyed on the spot or taken away in an unknown direction.
