Transcarpathian UNP lost its domain for language policy

Domain name http://zakarpattya-unp.org, which belonged to
Transcarpathian regional organization of Ukrainian National Party
(UNP) was blocked recently by the service administration. The UNP
members assume that the loss of the domain is connected with the
filling of materials in defense of the Ukrainian language, which could
irritate the Russian owners of the service.

Leadership of the regional UNP outraged because, they convince that it
was paid on time for the domain. ‘When the money went to the regular
service, and functionality has not changed, we began to write to the
support service. There were no responses even after the dozens of
letters.’

According to the head of Transcarpathian regional organization of UNP
Ivan Gabor, ‘The domain was blocked immediately after the publication
of material about the ‘Language bill’ of Kolyesnichenko-Kivalov in
which was said that the old Kremlin’s dream came true to break Ukraine
along the Dnieper, and a number of publications and comments in
defense of the Ukrainian language’ - such an assumption was made by
Ivan Gabor, when it became known that the service mylivepage is
registered in Novosibirsk (Russia) by Mr. Igumnov.
