Reference: "Anti-Tobacco Campaign" or "Tabachnyk, go away!" is a public protest movement that emerged in the spring of 2010 in response to the educational policy of the Minister of Education of Ukraine Dmytro Tabachnyk. Activists accused him of Ukrainophobic statements, political bias and a threat to the humanitarian security of the state. In June 2010, the campaign reached its peak of activity, covering more than 20 cities and gaining the support of student and public organizations.
