Ukrainian: Natalya Sharina and Library

ukrainian: She spent a night in jail before she was put under house arrest, according to Metro News. The Library of Ukrainian Literature stocks titles in Russian and Ukrainian, and gets funding from the Moscow city budget. Natalya Sharina was first detained in October 2015 in the latest twist of the stand-off between Russia and Ukraine after Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula in 2014 and threw its weight behind separatist rebels in Ukraine's east. The court on Monday found Sharina guilty of breaking the law on extremism because her library stocked books by nationalist activist Dmytro Korchynsky, which are banned in Russia. The Ukrainian government dismissed the trial as a political witch-hunt. Sharina had pleaded not guilty and said the books had been planted in the library. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
