In March 1973, he was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for homosexuality, although the sentence included articles for both Ukrainian ideology and nationalism.

The National Rehabilitation Commission, on the recommendation of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, rehabilitated the Ukrainian-Armenian director Sergei Parajanov. UINP head Anton Drobovich reported this on Facebook.

According to him, this happened 50 years after the political sentence against him from the USSR authorities and on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

“We have real historical news – Sergei Parajanov was rehabilitated! Half a century has passed since his trial, but today, in legal terms, justice has prevailed. It is nice to write about it on the centenary of the birth of the main author of Ukrainian poetic cinema,” he wrote.

Drobovich also informed that at the last meeting in December 2023, the Office of the President of Ukraine and Ukrainian human rights activists, especially the Ukrainian Helsinki Union for Human Rights, spoke in support of considering the case.

We remind you that Sergei Parajanov was born on January 9, 1924. In 1964, he presented the film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors based on the work of Mikhail Kotsyubinsky. This film brought international recognition to Parajanov. In particular, he received 39 international awards and 28 prizes at various film festivals.

In 1973, Soviet authorities accused Sergei Parajanov of “Ukrainian nationalism and homosexuality” and sentenced him to 5 years in maximum security camps.

It was previously reported that actor Pierce Brosnan will be tested for hiking in a dangerous zone in Yellowstone Park.
