WHO NEXT?

If I were asked which events of 1998 I consider principal, I would answer that it was a year of repressions against opposition press. There are many examples, but I will list the loudest: the publication of Pravda Ukrainy is suspended and Aleksandr Gorobets, the editor-in-chief, is under investigation on the charge of rape, Vseukrainskiye vedomosti stopped to exist, the court ruled to close Politika and issued the warrant to arrest Oleg Liashko, the editor-in-chief, since he did not come to the court that considered the case of libel and misuse of position on the side of the editor. Let us recollect what has happened with Politika and its editor-in-chief.
