Oh dear. The Lviv Department of Education and Science apparently encourages Nazi movements.
Well, Lviv in the region of what was called Galicia have certainly problem with neo-nazism.
But even in schools:( That's illegal in most European countries.
Displaying Nazi imagery is illegal in Ukraine.
But Ukrainian teacher allegedly praises Hitler, performs Nazi salute with students.

Hmm... In Ukraine you can make your own personalised stamps.

Are Ukrainan authorities aware how those stamps can be abused?

Perhaps Oleg Kinal is the illustrator-creator of the block...

Kremlin rubbish again!
https://twitter.com/EmbassyofRussia/status/992374967005151234
FM #Lavrov: Ukraine has de facto lost its independence following internal political crisis inspired from the outside by US-led group of Western states. It all resulted in human suffering and economic breakdown of the country.
Why yes Sergei Lavrov. Kremlin is very helpful helping sovereign countries at Russian border lines!
Or is it former border lines. Who knows.
Make Russia Great Again!

Russia's attempt to destroy their sovereignty and illegally incorporate Ukraine into their Greater Russian Empire, is evil.

LOL.
Artificial pseudo-reality rules thoughts. :)

But if to try to think independently... Nobody attempt to incorporate Belarus into a "Greater Russian Empire". Nobody attempt to incorporate Kazakhstan into a "Greater Russian Empire". Nobody attempt to incorporate Mongolia into a "Greater Russian Empire". Those states has no problems with Russia because they don't change their good-neighborhood relations with Russia, they don't declare wishes to join NATO and don't try be hostile for Russia. And Ukraine too had no problems with Russia before coup of 2014.

If you are a neighboring nation to Russia.
Never wish to join NATO. Sweden is a neighbor to Russia.
There are discussions here whether we shall join or not. What happens?

If you are living in Crimea today so be very careful.
40-year-old Sevastopol resident Igor Movenko has been sentenced to two years in prison for a pro-Ukrainian comment in the "Crimea is Ukraine" group on VKontakte.
Movenko was found guilty under part 2 of Art. 280 of the Criminal Code (public calls for the implementation of extremist activities) meaning in Western terms "Freedom of speach don't apply in Russia"

In the US it's not an extremist act having anti-Trump opions like an anti-Trump sticker on your bicycle.
In Ukraine, in this case Crimea, it's now a very extremist act to have an Azov sticker on your bicycle.

Russian Occupation of other countries has in the past, is now and in will the future. Result many times to the destruction of the indigenous people that are not Russian.

You don't know an obvious things. In Russian Federation, more than 19 percent of population is non-Russian ethnicity. Most of them have their local governments and their official languages, unlike the Ukraine, btw. Crimean Tartar language was not official language in the Ukrainian Crimea, now it's official language in Crimea, together with the Ukrainian and Russian languages.

Not true Igor and you ought to know it.
From the mid 1990s, the number of Ukrainian-language schools and churches in Crimea has increased, and most young people at least understand Ukrainian. Also, hundreds of thousands Crimean Tatars have returned to Crimea. However, since 2014, Ukrainian classes, schools and churches came under pressure from new Russian authorities and many had to close. Same with Crimean Tatar media and organizations, where top leaders were banned from Crimea. On paper, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar are among official languages, but in practice non-Russian media (when it disagrees with the government line) has little chance to survive. Displaying Ukrainian or Crimean Tatar symbolics, say in your car, puts you at risk. It's difficult to reliably prove that the police does not prosecute hate crimes, but thousands families moved from Crimea to mainland Ukraine because they did not feel safe.
AND!
Today in the auguration speech, Vova Putin declared he wants to create a “Russia for Russians.”
Ukrianians and Crimean Tatars are not Russians.
Blin! Crimea is not even part of the Russian Federation!

Oh, yes, Kosovo has separated because the right of people to self-determination is higher than the principle of territorial integrity, but the Crimea can't be separated because the principle of territorial integrity is higher than the right of people to self-determination.
Well well... :-)
