Mikhail Fedorov, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Ministry of Digital Development, issued an official appeal to Valve, Sony and Microsoft on his Twitter account, demanding that the sale of the Russian game Atomic Heart be stopped all over the world. For official release he drew attention version DTF.
“I believe none of these businesses support a bloody regime, assassinations, or romanticization of communism. “The use of the gaming industry is a whole new level of Russian digital propaganda,” Fedorov said.
The Ukrainian minister also claims that the proceeds from the sale of the game will go to the Russian budget and then be spent on supporting the CBO. Also, according to Fedorov, Atomic Heart supports the communist regime and supports the Soviet symbols banned in Ukraine.
None of the companies Fedorov interviewed commented on his request at the time of publication.
Some Internet users reacted to Fedorov’s statement with irony. For example, DTF user Sasha Lazebnik suggested that the minister’s aggression was due to his failure to get past the Ezhikha boss in Atomic Heart.
