She said that after the video in which Professor Vasylenko spoke unethically about Ukrainian women was posted online, she began receiving statements from people with ultimatum demands to ‘educate’, ‘understand’, and ‘explain’. In addition, the journalist received curses and threats of various kinds.
30 percent of messages and comments are curses personally addressed to me. From a f*ck you to a suggestion to f*ck me. There were also wishes to die. And not just one
She added that indignation is also expressed under the publications of the Left Bank, even if a certain news item, for example, about the weather, is not relevant to the situation.
She stated that she had "nothing to do with the situation with her father," but her name was being mentioned "everywhere." Koshkina criticized her fellow journalists who mention her in the context of the news about her father in order to get clickbait. At the same time, she thanked those who supported her and "closed the topic" for herself.
Recall
Nikita Vasilenko, a lecturer at the Kyiv National University, made unethical statements about peacekeepers and Ukrainian women. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets appealed to the Ministry of Education and Science, the university, and the SBU to check the situation.
