Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenkoon Friday May 15,2015 enacted laws banning Soviet Symbols and Communist-era Propaganda, his office said, after the
measures drew strong Russian criticism when they were approved by
parliament last month
The laws "prohibit Soviet symbols, condemn the communist regime, open the Soviet special services archives" and officially recognise the role of a nationalist group that fought for Ukraine`s independence in the mid-20th century.
Besides angering Russia, the measures also exacerbated tensions with pro-Moscow rebels in Ukraine`s east after parliament approved them
