The enemy continues to weaponize every sector under its control, including museums in the temporarily occupied territories (TOT).
To further centralize propaganda in seized cultural institutions, the Russians have assigned curators from the Federal Security Service (FSB) to oversee each museum. From now on, self-appointed directors must coordinate all exhibitions directly with Kremlin officials.
Additionally, FSB operatives will dictate museum staffing policies and scrutinize tour scripts to ensure they align with the Kremlin’s ideological agenda.
By transforming museums into propaganda instruments, the occupiers aim to rewrite history, manipulate public perception, and justify their ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
You can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
