Halya Coynash: Parliament ignores public opinion on Ukraine’s history. Will the President?
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko gestures as he answers questions during a press conference in Kyiv, on Sept. 25, 2014.
Ukrainians are divided in how they view their country's history. This is confirmed by surveys, but has just been ignored by Ukraine's parliament which decided it knows how the country's history should be viewed. If President Petro Poroshenko does not veto laws just passed, it will become illegal to express other views on certain aspects of Ukraine's recent history.
