In this case, the official reason for her dismissal was called “excessive autonomy and lack of respect for employees.”
The Soldier and the view
Serviceman Latvia fired for public support of Russia in the Ukrainian conflict. It happened at the end of 2014. A man on his page on Facebook wrote commentaries critical of the Kiev authorities for the shelling of Donbass, and approved of the Crimea to Russia. Please note on his colleagues – they inform the management about the sympathies of a soldier. As a result, he was asked to resign. Latvian Defence Minister Raymond Vejonis leeward this information “This particular case proves that the Latvian soldiers are well aware of the geopolitical situation and are able to identify colleagues who have changed their views. The military has realized that his views do not conform to the views of Latvian soldiers, and a citizen of Latvia as a whole, and resigned, “- said Vejonis.
Out on their own
Since dismiss an employee because of disagreements in political views with the leadership can not be – there is no such article in any of the Labour Code of the country, often disagree write statement “on their own».
So he entered and Dean of the Faculty of Sociology Kharkiv National University Karazin – Vitaly Lukashchuk . Former Dean of actively expressed dissatisfaction with the social networks of the Kiev authorities and openly sympathized with the pro-Russian activists, for which he paid position.
After Dean left the walls of universities, his supporters have cleaned their pages – away from sin.
In March of this year in the Kharkiv region lost their jobs 20 teachers for the pro-Russian statements. Formally – for failure conditions of the employment contract, as the article “unpatriotic position of” no.
will not go against my conscience!
Another teacher, also suffered for his love for Russia – high school teacher Kaunas Laysvunas Muralis .

The behavior of the ward considered unacceptable and director of the school where he worked Muralis. She demanded Laysvunasa “stop the spread of pro-Russian policy.” But the teacher thought that it was better to leave.
Unsportsmanlike conduct
The trouble because of his political views have earned this year, and athletes. So in February, it was reported that the Ukrainian authorities deprived the title of Master of Sports of Ukraine the strongest girl planet Mariana Naumov – for the fact that 15-year-old athlete has helped children Novorossia and expressed support for the residents of Donbass. Sanctions and touched her coach Alexei Serebryakov . World-class athlete in powerlifting is not released in the US in the competition heavyweights – “Arnold Classic”, doubting that he was not going to stay in the United States for permanent residence.

Facebook – the battle!
This is probably the strangest request for dismissal. National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio sent a message Director General of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg with the request to change the regional representative of the social network, as it has Russian citizenship and pro-Russian views.
«Dear Mark, we are very concerned about the politically motivated persecution of the Ukrainian users of Facebook. As you probably know, the Russian Federation conducts unprecedented military and media aggression against Ukraine, – wrote on her Facebook page Vice Chairman of the National Council Olga Gerasimyuk , – Facebook remains almost the only channel through which occupied Ukrainian territory may obtain information about what is happening – because the media are locked terrorists under the threat of physical destruction. But FB constantly attacked pro-Russian groups funded close to the Kremlin forces ».
Whether Zuckerberg replied to the appeal of the Ukrainian authorities – is unknown.
