Ukraine’s Parliament voted to ban the distribution of Russian books and the playing or performance of Russian music by post-Soviet-era artists.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine must still sign the bills into law. Both bills received broad support from lawmakers across the political spectrum according to Reuters.
The laws will not ban all Russian media. They only block work by artists who held Russian citizenship after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
One law prohibits the playing of Russian-language music in public, on television and on the radio. That same law also increases national quotas for Ukrainian-language music and speech on television and radio.
“Administrative liability for the import and distribution of publishing products from russia and belarus, as well as literature included in the Register of anti-Ukrainian publishing products, has been established,” a tweet from the Ukrainian Parliament, called the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
