Kiev's Culture Minister Calls for Criminal Prosecution of Russian Museums

March 27, 2025 (EIRNS)—Kiev’s Culture Minister, Mykola Tochytsky, issued an extensive attack on Russia’s museums, calling for criminal prosecution of them. He argued in Ukrinform that Russia has militarized the museums in the occupied territories: “Putin, in 2023, issued an executive order to establish ‘SVO museums’ in each of the federal entities. The Russian Historical Society was, of course, the first to create a model project for such a museum. In these years, Russian authorities held a series of apparently anti-Ukrainian ‘museum’ projects, including the exhibitions “Ordinary Nazism,” “Ordinary NATOism,” “NATO. Chronicles of Cruelty.”
