Yevgeny Bunimovich, Chairman of the Moscow City Duma Commission on Education and a member of the Yabloko faction of the Moscow City Duma, called the ameded law on educational activities represents a manifestation of censorship. The law will come into force on 1 June and will seriously limit the possibility of holding lectures, master classes and other educational events at various venues.
According to Bunimovich, this is an absolutely obscurantist law, with the help of which the authorities want to ban their opponents. Moreover, this is how the authorities show fear of the free speech: when there is nothing to answer, they try to ban it, Yevgeny Bunimovich noted.
He also noted that the more educated the population is, the more difficult it is for the authorities to fill people’s heads with nonsense – this is another reason for the adoption of such a law.
