April 7, 2014: Russian patriotic movement "Essence of Time" (led by Sergei Kurginyan) held a collection of signatures throughout all major cities in the South of Russia to declare the Ukrainian Consul General Vitaly Moskalenko persona non grata and subsequently expel him from this country. All collected signatures will be directed to the attention of Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.

Mr. Vitaly Moskalenko, Ukrainian Consul General in Rostov-on-Don became quite "popular" in the South of Russia after his neo-Nazi position and activity in support of Fascist gangs in Kiev's Maidan. The diplomat listed leaders of OUN and UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) Stepan Bandera and Roman-Taras Shukhevych (Commander of the Nachtigall Battalion) among the heroes of the Ukrainian nation.

The Taganrog branch of "The Essence of Time" movement made several posters with information on OUN and UPA atrocities committed during the World War II that were placed at the entry to Gorky Park. The organization also distributed leaflets with information on Stepan Bandera and Roman-Taras Shekhevych and their followers in Kiev's Maidan and western part of Ukraine.

More than 1500 signatures demanding the expulsion of the Ukrainian Consul General have been collected during the past weekend in South of Russia.
