As reported by International Business Times (http://bit.ly/1m9TGms) the flyer shows the signature of the self-proclaimed “people’s governor” Denis Pushilin.
The flyer orders Jews 16-years-old and over to register with the pro-Russian group, pay a $50 (£30) registration fee and list all of the real estate and vehicles they own.
“In case of failure to register, the perpetrators will be stripped of their citizenship and deported forcibly outside the country with confiscation of property.”
According to a Ukrainian newspaper (http://bit.ly/1hYov5K) Pushilin stated neither he nor his organization are involved with the creation and dissemination of the leaflet.
