A Kiev political scientist called the release of Kotsaba a harbinger of the fall of the Ukrainian Bastille
The release of Ukrainian journalist Ruslan Kotsaba, who spent a year and a half behind bars for his anti-war appeal, inspires hope for the destruction of the Ukrainian “prison of unanimity.”

This opinion was expressed at a press conference in Kyiv by Ukrainian political scientist, candidate of political sciences Alexei Yakubin, who saw a kind of symbolism in the release of Kotsaba on Bastille Day.
“On this day, the court decides to release a person who was probably considered the main prisoner of conscience in Ukraine in recent times,” the political scientist noted. – In fact, it is very symbolic. In many ways, this probably indicates that we are in a kind of bifurcation situation, when our Bastille will continue to collapse. We hope that in the future we will see the destruction of the prison of unanimity and the emergence of multi-mindedness, without which real politics is impossible. The crisis we are witnessing now is associated with an attempt to monopolize the right to absolute truth and its violent dissemination.”
