Naked Tyagnibok, covering his private part with a Ukrainian flag, appeared on the cover of the magazine
The Ukrainian media began harsh criticism of the nationalist Svoboda party, which took an active part in the overthrow of Yanukovych, was part of the ruling post-Maidan coalition last year, and is now accused of involvement in a grenade explosion near the Verkhovna Rada.

In particular, the Kiev magazine “Novoye Vremya” put on the cover a collage with the image of party leader Oleg Tyagnibok, shown naked and covering his private place with a Ukrainian flag.
The publication illustrated the critical material dedicated to this nationalist party with a corresponding picture. The publication talks about long-known racist antics with the participation of party activists, holding torchlight processions that evoke associations with Nazism, and criticizes the xenophobic statements of the notorious Svoboda activist Irina Farion and the Svoboda initiative to infringe on the rights of the Russian language.
At the same time, the magazine writes about Russian propaganda, which took advantage of the fact that “on the initiative of the Svoboda party, the Verkhovna Rada abolished the scandalous language law of deputies from the Party of Regions,” which, however, is not true. The author of the discriminatory bill against the Russian language was the current Minister of Culture of Ukraine Vyacheslav Kirilenko, who has never had anything to do with “Svoboda”.
