It has been announced in Ukraine that literature that does not portray the Russian army in a negative light will be banned in schools.
Thus, Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and other historical novels may be excluded from Ukrainian education.
"All these will be completely excluded from foreign literature," Deputy Minister of Education Andriy Vitrenko said about the books sanctioned by the Ukrainian leadership in an interview with Ukraine's 24 television channel, adding:
"For example, War and Peace will no longer be taught in Ukraine."
Vitrenko said that his ministry is working to
draw up a list of books to be banned, in line with the Kyiv Ministry of Culture and Information Policy's announcement last month that literary works that "promote Russian propaganda" would be removed from Ukrainian libraries and replaced with Ukrainian books.
It is difficult to follow what a Russian novel published in 1867 has to do with the current war and Putin, but the Ukrainian leadership is now building a war cancel culture at the state level, with which it can keep its own students in the dark.

Let's say I never heard that Bulgakov, who was born in Kiev, would be put on the banned list in Moscow, just because he wrote about the devil visiting there!
