>Leo Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace’ and other works that glorify the Russian military will no longer be taught in Ukrainian schools, Kiev’s ministry of education announced on Tuesday.
>Tolstoy’s internationally recognized masterpiece joins the list of 20th-century Russian books banned in Ukraine long before the current conflict.
>“All these will be completely excluded from foreign literature,” first deputy Minister of education Andrey Vitrenko said in an interview with the TV channel Ukraine 24. “So, for example, ‘War and Peace,’ this will not be studied in Ukraine anymore.”
>The ministry is still working on the final list of works by Russian writers that will be excluded from the curriculum, Vitrenko added.
this is just logical why would you want literature which is praising your enemy army/spirit etc. be taught in schools especially during an ongoing conflict
Because you're a fucking desperate kike seeking cheap peremoga. >Napoleonic Wars are more than 200 years old. >War and Peace itself is more than 150 years old. >Russian Empire is dead for more than 100 years. >Soviet Union is dead for more than 30 years. Next they're going to ban Peter the Great by Alexei Tolstoy?
Xavier Gomez
Now they can focus on ukrainian literary masterworks like... uh...

>books banned in Ukraine long before the current conflict This book is not banned in Ukraine. It is even recommended for reading in the school curriculum.
Because, swines are posing as le democrats and liberals that value freedom of speech yet they are banning things left and right.

Are you being retarded on purpose, user?
Adrian Campbell
isn't "the russian spirit", which is now at the center of your ideology comes from all these eras? napoleonic wars were a long time ago, but shoigu proposed to make suvorov a saint just the other week soviet union is dead, but russia considers itself a rightful successor of it's idea or smth
Austin Ward
they can pose as whatever I'd ban books of my enemy during the war at least why is it illogical again?
Connor Perez
>mfw Jews end up banning books like the Nazi’s did
Cooper Smith
Fool is losing a war and is worried about classical literature.
Ethan Hughes
Yes, Ukraine is at war.
Though, Tolstoy/Dostoevsky are just great authors and they have gifted us some of greatest contributions to world literature, so this only hurts Ukrainians from enriching their lives through exposure to differing viewpoints.
One of the greatest virtues is the ability to entertain voices you do not fully agree with. So regardless of the world views of the times, Dostoevsky/Tolstoy should at least be read for their characters which are super complex and interesting

Here's a complete list of notable literature written in Ukrainian language:
Jonathan Phillips
It's not illogical it's just dumb banning something so far removed from current time, especially now when the internet exists and everyone can find whatever he wants. What harm would War and Peace even cause. By the time someone finishes reading it, the war will already be over.
If some kid pierces his hand with a pen by accident, should we ban all pens? If some thug kills someone with a knife should we ban all knives? That's your logic.
Henry Morales
yeah, but I'm not sure >voices you do not fully agree with applies to a wartime more like voices you completely hate atm
Alexander Miller
They're fighting ghosts while clinging to those they made up just now. It's pitiful.
Isaiah James
It's illogical to focus on old literature when it comes to bannable content. If my home were to be under threat of being shelled by artillery, ripping out the pages of some random 18th century author's autobiography would be the last thing on my mind.
Zachary Brown
saved
Angel Powell
it's not that far removed thanks to russia see I can actually see how it can be perceived a propaganda of russian army
Juan Kelly
It's not >voices you do not fully agree with It's >voices that the ukrainian govt does not fully agree with Therein lies the problem. In fact, therein lies the problem with this whole conflict.
Christopher Baker
Virtues do not "disappear" or become "less valuable" during times of war. Id argue they become far more important as individuals of war-torn regions will have lost direction and purpose in life.
Anyways -- wouldn't it at least be valuable to read the literature of your enemy, which is standardized literature for your adversaries schoolchildren. Id argue understanding your enemy is the most important thing if one should win a conflict. And war and peace provides some very significant clues lol
Lincoln Edwards
What did Tolstoy do now to get in political trouble?
Jayden Thomas
Constance Garnet translation is best.
Ethan Davis
make ukraine russia again
Ayden Rogers
War and peace is one of the most brilliant works ever written in any language for all of history.
This is just a faggot jew fucking over the poor holhols and making them poorer and dumber so he cant embezzle more money.
