E-mail apparently from hacktivist group CyberBerkut:

=====

We, CyberBerkut, continue to stay in computer networks of the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine. We begin to familiarize the public with the internal documents of the Ministry and its employee correspondence.

As we all know, not long time ago the Security Service of Ukraine together with Ukraine's punitive battalions have made total "clean-up" in Mariupol. According to local media, "they capture anyone who looks or says the wrong way. The snitches wander markets, go in taxis and eavesdrop on people's conversations".

For several days more than 100 people were arrested.

It’s naive to believe that this situation is at the initiative of Ukrainian troops. We, CyberBerkut, insist that the Ministry of Information Policy is the instigator of arbitrariness in the city.

It all began from the analysis of the information situation in Mariupol, which was obtained from Tatyana Popova.

The analysis which was rather the "whistle blow" was prepared by some social psychologist Oleg Pokalchuk, who reported that the city has no Ukrainian propaganda, the Greek community stands pro-Russian, the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate are subversive and so on…

After obtaining this information Tatyana Popova reacts resolutely. Soon she obtained the recommendations of the psychological operations specialist which she shared with her colleagues. She advised to "really consider" it.

Particularly, the document recommended making "Pilot Project of Military and Civil Administration" of Mariupol. We were particularly interested in these quotes:

"…Secretly we need to create a module of special operations forces in the whole range from tactical groups to the military and administrative groups (like 95th Regiment of US Special Operation Forces) and the PSYOP Battalion. …"

"…For this task need to create Mariupol network of informants in the guise of the sociological service.

Introduce social card of the resident of the city, under this pretext hold mass inspection of documents, factually roundup..."

By a strange coincidence, on February 26 "The law on military and civil administrations" was signed by President Poroshenko. In a few days there were roundups and mass arrests in Mariupol. The city's "Pilot Project of Military and Civil Administration" has worked in full power.

And what Kiev and the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine can suggest to the Mariupol's people and to the South-East you can see from the letter from Tatyana Popova to her boss Yuri Stets.

They earnestly believe that the winning hearts and minds of Donbas residents is possible showing them "high quality cinema", including 105 series of the movie "Unknown Ukraine", "In September 1939" and "Remembering Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)" and broadcasting such blockbusters as "The Unconquered" about Roman Shukhevich, "Hetman Mazepa prayer" and "Starvation 33".

There's no need to comment this. Probably, Yuri Stets, Artem Bidenko and Tatyana Popova need to do something else but not forming information policy of multinational country of Ukraine.

In the nearest future CyberBerkut will continue to familiarize the public with the internal documents of the Ministry of Information Policy and its employee correspondence.

We are CyberBerkut! We will not forget! We will not forgive!
