In 12 language sections of Wikipedia, articles about the song "Putin - Huylo" were published. As of 16:20 Tuesday, such articles are available in English , Belarusian (in both standards - official and classic), Bulgarian, Vietnamese, Lithuanian, Serbian, Turkish, Ukrainian, French, Czech and Estonian. In the article in the Turkish language "Putin - Huylo" is called "Ukrainian folk song".
Earlier on Tuesday, the article was present in the Russian section of the encyclopedia, but soon it was removed. As Stanislav Kozlovsky, executive director of the Russian Wikipedia, explained to the film.ru, the reason for the removal was that the Russian -speaking article was not an encyclopedic text, but "the statements of anonymous participants about Ukraine."
Meanwhile, the English -language article Kozlovsky called the relevant Wikipedia rules, since there are links to authoritative sources, in particular to The Guardian. The presence in the text of non -normative vocabulary is not the basis for the removal of the article, the executive director noted.
“There is no censorship on Wikipedia,” Kozlovsky emphasized. “Articles are not deleted because of censorship reasons, but due to non-compliance with any internal rules of the project.”
The song "Putin - Huylo" was first performed on March 30 in Kharkov at a joint procession of fans of the Metalist and Shakhtar football clubs. She quickly gained popularity both throughout Ukraine and beyond, including among Russian oppositionists.
On June 14, the phrase “Putin - Huylo” said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Andrei Doshchitsa , who arrived to calm the rally participants from the Russian embassy in Kiev, gathered in protest against the support of Moscow terrorists in the east of the country. The kid later explained her statement with an extreme situation in the Russian diplomatic mission. “At that moment, the main thing was to keep people,” he remarked.
In the ruling circles of Russia, the statement of the head of Ukrainian diplomacy caused indignation. In particular, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called the children's behavior inadequate , and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that his Ukrainian colleague crossed the line of decency . “I don’t know how he will now communicate and work with us,” Lavrov remarked.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the replica of the Ukrainian minister approved. The Ambassador of the United States to Kiev Jeffrey Payette remarked : "Agree, Andrei Doshchitsa is a great merit is that the situation was discharged. He is an experienced diplomat with a large trust in trust." The press secretary of the State Department, Jen Psaki, also justified the behavior of the child that he reassured the protesters.
