NBC News: Ukrainian Rabbi Plays Down Neo-Nazi Threat From Nationalists [towards the Jews but fails to hear Martin Niemöller screaming at him], 2014
quote:
Senior Ukrainian rabbi, Moshe Reuven Azman, said he was not aware of new anti-Semitic acts since Yanukovych's fall and had not heard anti-Jewish statements from leaders of far-right parties. He cautioned against speculation on the issue being "exploited" for political ends.
"There's no big, general Ukrainian problem," Azman said, playing down some instances of Jews being attacked in the street and the firebombing of a provincial synagogue during the past few months of protests. He contrasted post-Soviet Ukraine's tolerance with "official anti-Semitism" in Soviet times.

Continuation of a post about Senior Ukraine rabbi and Martin Niemöller screams...
The sheer idiocy of the rabbi stance is mind boggling. He, of all the people, should have seen what would happen next! The Rabbi is ok with the fascist Right Sector?! Sure, why would he be afraid of them, the ukrainian nazism is mainly aimed at the Russians not at the Jews.
▫️ A video of a school assembly in Lviv, Ukraine. Children chant: "Hang the Russians! Jump if not Russian! Knife the Russians!" Since the rabbi is not Russian, he is safe from those children ... Right? Right?
▫️We all know how this logic played out for the people of Donbass, hopefully no one belonging to the said Rabbi's congregation was hurt there since 2014.
▫️This rabbi's interview happened in 2014 and in 2017 Ukranians chant "Jews Out!" while torchlit match in Kiev. I wonder what kind of an interview would the rabbi give right now. He might even make an attempt to "contrast post-Soviet Ukraine's tolerance with "official anti-Semitism" in Soviet times" again. I wonder how would it play out... :)
▫️Israel’s official annual report on anti-Semitism around the world in 2017 concluded that such incidents had doubled in Ukraine and the number “surpassed the tally for all the incidents reported throughout the entire region combined.” By the region, the report meant the total in all of Eastern Europe and all former territories of the Soviet Union.
Great job rabbi!
▫️The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum quotes the following text as one of the many poetic versions of the speech:[2][3]
===========
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.

Some Ukrainian Jews did read about Martin Niemoller, but the passion to defend the freedoms was lacking or absent at the moment and now it's just too late:

The Guardian: Ukraine revolt is a step in the normalization of far-right ideas of overtly neo-Nazi Right Sector, 2014
quote:
Protesters, who could not imagine themselves throwing molotovs at the police before, joined the extreme right...
Yet those who may be thrilled with the illusion of an all-national revolt are forgetting that this is another step in the normalization of the far right. Right Sector has already efficiently mainstreamed its slogans ("Slava|Glory Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!", "Glory to the nation! Death to enemies!", "Ukraine above everything!*"). We must not forget that these are people with sometimes overtly neo-Nazi ideas who would eagerly pass even more repressive laws, but only against other, ethnically defined enemies.
===end of the quote===
*Ukraine above everything! is a copy of a nazi chant: "Deutschland uber alles".
P.S.
Right Sector's flag was inspired by the flag of OUN-B (responsible for ethnic cleansings in Ukraine during ww2)

▫️A Deputy of Kyiv City Council,
▫️The head of the medical service "ULF",
▫️Operator of the unmanned aerial vehicle "Valkyrie" of the First Separate Assault Company of the Volunteer Ukrainian Corps 1st fascist Right Sector (source of the claim: source, and a collection of western sources)
She's quite an achiever...
But wait there is more! There exist an article about Alina's achievements of the field of emancipation of the women from non other than the UN itself!
UN Women**: This is what leadership looks like: Alina Mykhailova breaks stereotypes about women in the military and in politics in Ukraine, 2021
quote:
After spending four years in the Ukrainian military*, 26-year-old* Alina Mykhailova joined the Women Veterans’ Movement. As a youth leader, she mentors youth activists and last year, she was elected to the Kyiv City Council*. Now, she is taking the lead on youth engagement and veterans’ affairs policies.*
**UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.
That is some true nazi feminism/emancipation here.

The Daily Mail: Do not be surprised to see fascist filth in the staduim stands, identified by Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs as a hot-bed for racism, 2009

It is the skinheads who blight football in [Ukraine] and revel in their reputation for violence and intimidation. England can expect hostility.

Bare in mind, that almost all the Ukrainian volunteer battalions in 2014 were formed from the football hooligans. And the only real fighting force in the Ukraine were exactly those battalions and not the regular army.
This BBC exclusive (Fascist salute was a gesture I would see at every Ukrainian [soccer] game I went to, 2012) just shows you the state of the football culture in 2012. It was rotten to the core and it was a fertile ground to grow neo-nazi battalions to fight in the Ukraine Civil war of 2014-2022.

Government agencies at all levels should also stop cooperating with far-right groups. In addition to the Youth Ministry’s problematic funding, C14 and a Kyiv city district recently signed an agreement allowing C14 to establish a “municipal guard” to patrol the streets; three such militia-run guard forces are already registered in Kyiv, and twenty-one operate in other cities as well. And C14’s dangerous leader Yevhen Karas even boasts openly about cooperating with the Security Services of Ukraine (SBU). All this needs to end and state officials found to be cooperating with extremists must be removed.

On April 20, an organization called C14 — which has been described as having members who openly express neo-Nazi views by Radio Free Europe, among other outlets — carried out a terrifying anti-Roma pogrom in Kiev. Over the next two months, four other pogroms, including one in which a man was brutally killed and four others injured, raged across Ukraine. The outbreak of ethnic-fueled hatred was condemned by the The United Nations in Ukraine, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and a joint letter by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Front Line Defenders and Freedom House. All these expressed extreme concern with both the impunity of far-right gangs and the government’s lax response.
On July 21, the New York Times finally decided to cover the situation, focusing mostly on the original April 20 pogrom which had been filmed by C14.

Another example of this trend was on display in early October at a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, when members of the far-right (including C14 leader Yevhen Karas) were invited to offer their perspective on the war in eastern Ukraine. Azov was also present, being the largest far-right group in Ukraine that also has a regiment in Ukraine’s National Guard.
“Yesterday I met with veterans,” Zelenskyy said in early October, “National Corps [the Azov movement’s political party], Azov, everyone else.” A photo from the meeting shows multiple far-right figures in attendance, including C14’s Yevhen Karas and Dmytro Shatrovskyi, head of the Azov-linked “Veterans Brotherhood.”

Opinion | Not all Nazi victims are remembered equally. Here's why that matters.
Today, as during the Holocaust, the Roma are invariably one of the first ethnic groups to be targeted, while the world invariably refuses to care.

Human Rights Watch: A court in Kyiv ruled in favor of a state funded Ukrainian far-right nationalist group, C14 in its defamation suit about being called ‘Neo-Nazi’, 2019

=========
A court in Kyiv ruled in favor of a Ukrainian far-right nationalist group, C14, in its defamation suit against the internet TV station Hromadske.TV after the outlet published a tweet referring to C14 as a “neo-Nazi” group.
...
Protection of freedom of expression has been steadily deteriorating in Ukraine just as violence by far-right groups like C14 has increased. Ukraine’s activists and journalists have repeatedly urged the government to adopt a “zero-tolerance” stance towards violence, threats, and intimidation from these groups. Instead, Ukraine’s authorities have focused on introducing restrictions on freedom of expression that they justify by citing the ongoing armed conflict and the need to counter Russian propaganda.
The group [C14] also hunts down Russia-backed “separatists” fighting in eastern Ukraine and reportedly receives government funding to carry out “national-patriotic education projects.”
