Pro and contra: The freedom of speech and censorship in Ukraine

Shevchenko, Vitaly
Will the situation with the freedom of speech get worse? It is hard to make it worse on purpose. I think local reaction to the hearings that are being broadcast by the media is adequate. Local authorities feel at a loss, local bosses think that something has changed. This is a relief to local journalists. For changes in the journalist circles depend to a large extent not on the authorities [but] on journalists themselves. They lacked the sense of a [friendly] elbow. If they become more brave, they will win the situation and the time to enforce what has been said in the Verkhovna Rada with relevant laws, and that will be possible to do. We need about two or three months.
