In 2014, a leaflet carrying the signature of the "Chairman of Donetsk's temporary government Denis Pushilin" was distributed to Jews on the festival of Passover. The leaflet asked Donetsk's Jewish citizens to register themselves, their property, and their families to the pro-Russian authorities. The leaflet claimed that failure to comply with its demands would result in the revocation of citizenship and confiscation of property. The leaflet prompted confusion and fear among Donetsk's Jewish population, who saw echoes of [[the Holocaust]] in the leaflet.<ref>{{cite news|last=Margalit|first=Michal|url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4510688,00.html|title=Donetsk leaflet: Jews must register or face deportation|work=Ynetnews|date=16 April 2014|access-date=6 November 2022}}</ref> Pushilin denied any connection with the leaflets and called them a provocation.<ref>{{cite news |title=Pro-Russians in Donetsk deny calling for Jews to register |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/pro-russians-in-donetsk-deny-calling-for-jews-to-register/ |access-date=6 November 2022 |publisher=Times of Israel |date=16 April 2022}}</ref>
