\"canal+<\/a>The hard-hitting documentary by Paul Moreira \u201cUkraine, les masques de la r\u00e9volution\u201d<\/em> [Ukraine: Masks of the Revolution], released <\/a>on Monday [1 Feb 2016] night by Canal+, created a turmoil both in Ukraine and France well before the premiere. On Sunday the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported in Facebook <\/a>that their Ambassador in France had sent an outraged letter to Canal+ where he condemned\u00a0 the documentary as a \u201ca pamphlet at the height of the worst disinformation traditions<\/em>\u201d \u201cusing primitive methods of journalistic manipulation, including the handling of comments of respondents, distorted in translation and facts and purely fabricated images<\/em>\u201c. The same day Le Monde doubled the pressure on Canal+<\/a>. Paul Moreira has calmly and respectfully responded to his critics by a detailed post translated into English here<\/a>. To the credit of Canal Plus\u2019 management, the documentary was screened in time:

Please watch it attentively. And let\u2019s try to understand why it has infuriated so much the official Kiev.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be fair, the masterpiece did not reveal anything new. So far there were a lot of separate investigations by international organizations, NGOs, concerned individuals etc on different aspects of the \u201cRevolution of Dignity<\/em>\u201c: who actually killed the \u201cheavenly hundred<\/em>\u201c<\/a>, what happened in Odessa in May 2014<\/a>, what is going on in the zone of \u201canti-terrorist operation\u201d<\/a> in the South-East of Ukraine, where are the \u201cRussian troops<\/a>\u201d and where are the Western mercenaries there<\/a>\u2026 But most of them were successfully ignored by the mainstream Western media, stick to their comfortable myths about Euromaidan.<\/p>\n

The principal danger of Paul Moreira heartbreaking 50-minute long documentary is that it exposed all critically important lies and silenced facts about \u201cRevolution of Dignity\u201d and its agents in a concentrated form at the established French TV channel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul Moreira did not do anything but showed a simple and honest truth \u2013 there was no dignity in that \u201crevolution\u201d. There is no \u201cfree civilizational choice\u201d and \u201cindependent and legitimate authorities\u201d in today\u2019s Ukraine. There are gangsters licensed to kill and rob, psychopaths and criminals in the \u201cdemocratic parliament\u201d, parallel Nazi-inspired army, foreign officials who manipulate the political process in a sovereign country, media under total nationalist control etc. His argumentation and picture are so evident, eloquent and bright that there is no reasonable way to refute them. Here is the cause of hysteria and calls to ban (which paradoxically has triggered unprecedented public attention to the movie far beyond France) \u2013 they understand that an open and fair discussion would lead further undesirable revelations against the interim rulers in Kiev.<\/p>\n

One more pleasant outcome of this story is that the rumors about clinical death of independent journalism in the West are apparently somewhat exaggerated\u2026<\/p>\n
