Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed on Friday a law condemning communist and national-socialist totalitarian regimes, and banning propaganda of all their symbols in the country, a statement posted on Poroshenko's official website says.

KIEV (Sputnik) — Poroshenko also signed three other 'decommunization laws' adopted by the Ukrainian parliament on April 9.

"The documents ban Soviet symbols, denounce the Communist regime [of 1917-1991], allow access to secret archives of the Soviet secret services and recognize members of UPA and other nationalist organizations as fighters for Ukraine's independence."
