Why is it interesting?
The discussion on the curtailing of freedom of speech in Crimea will be based on the second edition of journalist Yuriy Lukanov's book "The Press Machine: How Russia Destroyed Media Freedom in Crimea", which was published in English by the German publishing house Ibidem Verlag and presented in the UK in February at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Financial Times, London Metropolitan University, Oxford University, University of Glasgow, and University College London.
In particular, the discussion will highlight how the occupation authorities have taken the suppression of freedom of speech to a new level after the occupation in 2014, even involving Western media for this purpose.
