Ukraine is establishing itself as a police state: residence of the editor of Odessa-based Timer website is being searched by Security Service

Workers of the Security Service of Ukraine are carrying out searches in the residences of Odessa-based internet resource “Timer”.

SSU accuses the journalists in pro-Russian propaganda: “Particularly, on the pages of the given resource in the course of 2014 the materials had been published that substantiated historical roots of the term “Novorossiya”, its right for existence and the historical necessity of the Russian World project”.

In other words, the journalists are being persecuted for their political convictions, which is characteristic for a police state. Ukraine claims to be a democracy, but in reality the regime is swiftly approaching the standards of a totalitarian tyranny.

In the picture you can see Yuriy Tkachev, the editor-in-chief of “Timer” with a cup featuring the website’s emblem in his hand.
