...long held a print of the film, and in one of the more celebrated episodes in the Archive’s history, the founding curator Vlada Petric had to defend the projection booth against a group of offended audience members who wanted to terminate a screening of [The] Birth of a Nation,” Jenkins writes in an e-mail...

Pinchuk has said he plans to defend his businesses, which include a huge Soviet-era pipe plant, four national TV stations, Kryvorizhstal and many others. Reprivatization could potentially scare away foreign investors, too, and, depending on which deals go under the microscope, may even hurt some Yushchenko supporters who benefited from previous privatizations, such as Petro Poroshenko...
