In Odessa, the speech of the Belarusian writer and Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich was canceled. This is stated in the Facebook "Green Theater", which was to pass a lecture writer.

The report notes that four hours before the speech Alexievich was added to the database of the site "Peacemaker" for "propaganda aimed at inciting ethnic hatred and manipulation of socially significant information" during his speech in Brooklyn in 2016. Soon her name was removed from there.

"Nobel laureate made it clear that the performance in such an atmosphere would be uncomfortable for her. For the Green Theater team, it is also unacceptable to expose audiences and speakers of any kind to risks. Dialogues with Svetlana Aleksievich are canceled, we apologize for the inconvenience caused, "the theater noted..

In the theater Facebook also published a video message Alexievich.

She noted that for the sake of general security "today's meeting will not be ours - we will cancel it". The performance of the Nobel laureate was to be held on August 8.

"A few minutes ago I found out that threats were arriving to the organizers of our meeting and to me personally, accusing me of some completely imagined offenses inflicted on Ukrainians. This can not be, because my mother was Ukrainian and I was born in Ukraine and always felt Ukrainian blood, "said the writer.
