“It has come to my attention that an instruction came from the state administration: to collect information among school directors and cultural workers about which party they belong to... And such a survey is being conducted today.” This was stated during the next party conference of the Volyn regional organization of the NDP on November 19 by the first deputy head of the regional organization, head of the Rozhyshche district organization of the NDP, Anatolii Matviichuk. This was reported by the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
“I was told directly: an instruction came from the state administration to survey school directors and cultural workers regarding their party affiliation. I cannot name specific surnames because at all levels the phrase is being repeated that administrative resources are not being used. But I believe the people who told me about this. And it is a fact: such a survey is being conducted today,” he stated.
“The motives for such an instruction are unknown to me. Perhaps this was done with exclusively positive motives, in order to assemble the most democratic administration of the district... But the true motives, why the authorities need such information, can only be guessed at,” added Anatolii Matviichuk.
