Youtube deletes Oliver Stone's documentary, "Ukraine on Fire", and then restores it, albeit as flagged, following a severe public backlash.

  • Ukraine on Fire was released in 2016, and featured Oliver Stone interviewing figures around the 2014 events in Ukraine
    "Ukraine on Fire" features Oliver Stone interviewing figures around the 2014 events in Ukraine.

Following its active participation in censorship against Russian-state content on its platform, Youtube has gone a step further and removed a famous documentary made by award-winning producer Oliver Stone, entitled "Ukraine on Fire." 

The documentary features executive producer Oliver Stone interviewing key figures around the 2014 events in Ukraine, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovich, and describes how Ukrainian ultranationalism came to prominence in the country. The documentary also sheds light on the US-engineered 2014 coup, according to social media activists. 

YouTube has just deleted @TheOliverStone and @lopatonok's critically acclaimed documentary "Ukraine on Fire" on the US-engineered 2014 coup, and much more. Wonder why! https://t.co/YhvRvVf3Ic

Lopatonok then decided to upload the film on Rumble and Vimeo so that people would have free access to it.
