Ukraine has decided to ban the work of 14 Russian singers and actors from TV, radio and cinemas, saying that they were a "threat to national security" for supporting Russia's annexation of Crimea and pro-Russian separatists in the east.
According to the BBC, Ukraine has also banned the work of French-born Gerard Depardieu who received a Russian passport in 2013 and was banned last month from entering Ukraine for five years.
The blacklist was published by Ukraine's culture ministry on Saturday.
The actor has described Russia as a "great democracy".
The ministry said it acted at the request of Ukraine's security service (SBU).
