Ukraine’s security services are investigating the distribution of pornographic content to minors, after discovering a link to a dark web in language textbooks.

Illustration According to the RT , a link to a pornographic website was recently discovered in a textbook used to teach Ukrainian to 10th graders since 2018. Ukrainian children start school at the age of six. By the 10th grade, most of the students were 16 years old. “It’s not clear if this is a joke or a hoax. But can you imagine how many children we have raised in the last three years with such a book?”, said Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova angrily, adding that prosecutors are conducting the investigation. investigate the case. According to local media, the person who discovered the error in the textbook was the author Aleksandr Avramenko. This famous education expert took to Facebook to complain about the slowness of the Ukrainian authorities. He said the cybersecurity agency was slow to respond when he called for the blocking of pornographic websites linked to in textbooks. Regarding his error, Avramenko explained that when writing the book, he cited some documents from the website that was once the official portal of a district in the Kirovograd Region of Ukraine. Because of quoting information, Mr. Avramenko must specify the link according to copyright law. When the textbook was published in 2018, the site still belonged to the Novomyrhorod district. But last year, the website domain was transferred to a new owner. The person then started turning the site into a dark web, Avramenko stressed, adding that “this metamorphosis was just discovered.” The author suggested that the dark web scandal could have been a provocation by some unknown opponents who were jealous of his success. “Why is this happening to my book? This year, I submitted four textbooks to different competitions and all of them won first place, far ahead of the competitors. Could this be the reason? Unfortunately, I also have enemies,” Avramenko wrote. However, the author does not rule out the possibility that this is simply a coincidence. Currently, the Ukrainian investigative agency has not confirmed or denied the author’s allegations.
