Not much love for Russia in Ukraine. New regulations require that films shot in Ukraine are made in the Ukrainian language; currently much film and TV production is in Russian, partly to cater to the large Russian-language population, partly to increase commercial viability by distribution in Russia (Gazeta.ru, in Russian). The Russian comic Maxim Galkin's jokes, broadcast on the Ukrainian TV channel Inter, have been the subject of a commission of enquiry due to their "plain disrespect" for the Ukrainian people (Gazeta. ru, in Russian). And Ukrainian TV boss Vasili Ilashchuk has described Russian Dima Bilan's victory in the Eurovision Song Contest as a "falsification": he refers to an opinion poll in the Balkans which revealed that not a single man on the street would have voted for Bilan (Gazeta.ru, in Russian).
