Famous sociologist left Ukraine fearing murder
The famous sociologist Evgeniy Kopatko, whose company the day before recorded a sharp collapse in the ratings of Petro Poroshenko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk, left Ukraine for fear of persecution.
Ukrainian journalist Yuri Kot, former host of the Kyiv Anti-Maidan, stated this on the air of the talk show “Right to Voice”.

In his opinion, a series of political murders indicates that the Ukrainian government is squeezing out the entire opposition intelligentsia from the country. Now, fearing persecution and murder, all opposition activists are leaving the country.
In addition to Kopatko, Victoria Shilova, who represented the Anti-War movement, left Ukraine.
“I meet Zhenya Kopatko, he says that he left for Crimea when this murder happened, and will not return to Kyiv. Vika Shilova says that she immediately flew to Moscow because she was told that she would be killed. These murders completely squeeze out our comrades-in-arms, those who could break through the information blockade in Ukraine and speak the words of truth,” Kot said.
His words were supported by the famous Ukrainian political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko, who also left Kyiv after the Maidan victory.
“On February 28 last year, I left Kyiv, leaving behind a million dollars worth of property, and moved to Moscow to start all over again, precisely because I didn’t want to be killed on the street,” Ishchenko said.
