The Washington Post: Ukraine’s ultra-nationalists present a need for U.S. caution, 2014
quote:

The head of the National Security and Defense Council, in charge of the armed forces, is Andriy Parubiy, who founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine, an openly neo-fascist precursor to Svoboda.

The far-right parties have long championed Ukrainian-only laws that ban the use of the Russian language in official business. They have ideas about rewriting history books and celebrating Ukrainian — as opposed to Russian or Jewish — ethnic heritage. Svoboda's platform, for example, calls for Ukrainian passports to specify the bearer’s ethnicity.

A distraction to raise some mood. Use eng subnoscripts if you don't speak German. This sketch is a perfect picture of todays Ukraine :)

The New Republic: Ukraine president wants his nation to forget its role in Nazi atrocities, 2015

quote:

Poroshenko [the Ukrainian President] wants his nation to forget its role in Nazi atrocities.
...
The laws, which President rushed through parliament without public debate, strive to provide the country with a “correct” and binding historical memory.
...
[one of the laws] makes no mention of the mass murder of Jews, let alone the participation of Ukrainians in these atrocities. The omission is strategic.

USA Today: Ukrainian President decorated a responsible for WW2 ethnic cleansings Bandera with the Hero of Ukraine award, 2014

quote:

Led by Bandera the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists(OUN) also was involved in the ethnic cleansing that killed tens of thousands of Poles in 1942-44. OUN portrayed Russians, Poles, Hungarians and Jews — most of the minorities in western Ukraine — as aliens and encouraged locals to "destroy" Poles and Jews.

In January 2010, less than a month before his term in office was to end, Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko posthumously decorated Bandera with the Hero of Ukraine award. That led to harsh criticism by Jewish and Russian groups.

READ NOW: These are animals, not people”: Zelensky frees convicted child rapists, torturers to reinforce depleted military by @historic_ly

Once condemned by Ukrainian officials and imprisoned for sadistic torture and the rape of minors, leaders of the notorious Tornado Battalion are free under Volodymyr Zelensky’s orders.
After banning virtually his entire political opposition, publishing a blacklist of foreign journalists and academics accused of advancing “Russian propaganda,” and ramming through a law exempting 70% of Ukrainians from workplace protections, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy has freed from prison fascist militants convicted of some of the most heinous crimes the country has seen since World War II.

According to a July 11 report in Ukrainian media, Ruslan Onishenko, commander of the now-disbanded Tornado Battalion, was freed as part of President Zelensky’s scheme to release prisoners with combat experience. Along with an unwavering commitment to fascism, Onishenko is known as a psychopathic sadist who was involved in sexually assaulting children, brutally torturing prisoners, and murder.

Onishenko’s release follows a February 27 order by Zelensky to free other convicted former Tornado members like Danil “Mujahed” Lyashuk, a fanatic from Belarus who has openly emulated ISIS and boasted of torturing captives for sheer enjoyment. According to Zelensky‘s decree, prisoners with combat experience would be allowed to “compensate for their guilt” by fighting in the “hottest spots.”

Why I reposted this post above 👆 ?
Well, you can read about Ruslan Onishenko (child molester, rapist) here in my old post about "Tornado" Special Police Unit atrocities.

Ruslan Onyshchenko - the Tornado's commander. Before becoming a police officer had 5 (yes, FIVE it's not a mistake) prior criminal convictions. A video of press conference (around min3) where Chief Military Prosecutor of Ukraine talks about those convictions.

That is some officer right here... a police officer... to rape and molest... oh, sorry, to serve and protect.

The Salon: Is the US backing neo-Nazis in Ukraine? 2014

quote:
As the Euromaidan protests in the Ukrainian capitol of Kiev culminated this week, displays of open fascism and neo-Nazi extremism became too glaring to ignore. Since demonstrators filled the downtown square to battle Ukrainian riot police and demand the ouster of the corruption-stained, pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovich, it has been filled with far-right streetfighting men pledging to defend their country’s ethnic purity.

White supremacist banners and Confederate flags were draped inside Kiev’s occupied City Hall, and demonstrators have hoisted Nazi SS and white power symbols over a toppled memorial to V.I. Lenin. After Yanukovich fled his palatial estate by helicopter, EuroMaidan protesters destroyed a memorial to Ukrainians who died battling German occupation during World War II. Sieg heil salutes and the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol [now known for AZOV insignia] have become an increasingly common site in Maidan Square, and neo-Nazi forces have established “autonomous zones” in and around Kiev.

The National Interest: the ultra-nationalists in Ukraine wield significant political power, 2022

quote:
"""
The war in Ukraine is a multi-dimensional disaster, which is likely to get much worse in the foreseeable future.
...

Zelensky briefly mentioned this possibility in the early days of the war, but he never seriously pursued it. There is little chance, however, that Kyiv will push for neutralization, because the ultra-nationalists in Ukraine, who wield significant political power, have zero interest in yielding to any of Russia’s demands, especially one that dictates Ukraine’s political alignment with the outside world. The Biden administration and the countries on NATO’s eastern flank—like Poland and the Baltic states—are likely to support Ukraine’s ultra-nationalists on this issue.

As one of the subscribers “C D” reminded me Albert Einstein quote:

“””The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”””

I remind you now. Please, don’t just read. Do a small bit:

One comment with a link to any of my posts per day‼️

It’s not much, but it will work! Spread the information. Don’t just witness the world go in flames.

How it works? Easy. Find a pro-Russian comment in any channel (preferably pro-Russian🇷🇺 or neutral🤔) and answer or comment to a message in the chat. You don’t have to type any additional text before the link! Just paste a link to any of my post without any preamble or text, and it will work. Be lazy. Just the link, nothing else!

Why comment only to pro-Russian or neutral messages? The reasons are many: 🇺🇦Ukraine side will not listen to logic🧠, since it is driven by emotions😡. But the neutrals and pro-Russian people need this info to fight the Great Internet Troll War of 2022! 🧙‍♀️it will servem as a weapon.

BBC: Ukraine underplays role of far right in conflict, 2014

quotes:
Experts say the Azov Battalion, which has been widely reported on in the West, has damaged Ukraine's image and bolsters Russia's information campaign.

And although Ukraine is emphatically not run by fascists, far-right extremists seem to be making inroads by other means, as in the country's police department*.

Ukraine's public is grossly under-informed about this. The question is, why doesn't anyone want to tell them?
===end of the quote===

*Alright, what do we have here? Two statements:
1️⃣ Ukraine is emphatically not run by fascists.
2️⃣ Fascists making inroads via the country's police department.

Does " country's police department " all of a sudden is not considered as a part of the Executive Branch of Ukraine Government? Did I miss something? Do stipulations 1 and 2 make a contradiction?🤔

The author of the article is either a stupid man, or he is trying to secretly pass a message to us by leaving such a big logical gap here.

Totally forgot to make a link to the proofs that fascist are indeed “making inroads for the power grab via Ukraine police department” as BBC puts it.. Damn, this flamboyant language!….

Here, I present you the commander of one Ukrainian Police Unit. Why didn’t BBC use these photos? :) The point would have been much easier to deliver to the readers…

AgoraVox (France): The Day of the Defenders of Ukraine under the sign of uninhibited neo-Nazism, 2020 (web.archived link, just in case)

autotranslation from French:

Today, October 14, 2020, the Day of defenders of Ukraine, during the march in memory of the UPA, an anti-semitic manifestation against Volodymyr Zelensky took place in Kiev.

All the while the Ukrainian authorities have asked the Jews to pray for the UPA* veterans.

The development of neo-nazism in the country is not a fantasy of the "Russian propaganda".
===end of quote===

*UPA - responsible for ethnic cleansings in Ukraine during ww2.

to be continued...

AgoraVox (France) continuation of the quote above (Google translated):

Following the coup d'état du Maïdan, the Ukrainian President, then, Mr Poroshenko, has changed in 2014 to the date of the Day of Defenders of the 23 February (date celebrated in Russia, and in the Donbass, for example) to a new date -- 14 October, the date of the creation of the OUN-UPA (the army insurgency Ukrainian, who has collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War, massacre of Polish civilians and participated in the holocaust). Nothing that the choice of this date was a symbol in itself for the development of a neo-nazism totally uninhibited in Ukraine.

Since then, this neo-nazism is displayed openly in Ukraine, without anyone touching among the western supporters of the country.
...
The cynicism of the Ukrainian authorities following the development of neo-nazism in the country is such, that the department of culture of the municipal council of the city of Kiev, wrote to the chief rabbi of Kiev and Ukraine, Moshe Reuven Azman, to ask the jewish community to pray for the "defenders" of the fatherland, of all generations, that is to say, those who have massacred Jews during the Second World War !
...
After the police the Ukrainian asked in the beginning of the year the list of the Jews of Kolomyia, in what looks like a bad remake of the practices of the employees Ukrainian Nazis, now the city of Kiev turns into cynicism, the most sordid, asking the Jewish community to pray for those who have slaughtered their own during the Second World War ! Here we touch the bottom of the abject.

NYT has released a wonderful report - an interview with a character named Svarog (a name from Slavic mythology very often used by Russian and Ukrainian nationalists, emphasizing the superiority of the white race, Slavic peoples in general, etc.).

Under the loud headline "Behind Enemy Lines, Ukrainians Tell Russians ‘You Are Never Safe’ Svarog told the journalists of NYT the goal is to show the occupiers that they are not at home, that they should not settle in, that they should not sleep comfortably.

But in fact (and this follows from Svarog's story), the main targets for Ukrainian nationalists will be locals who continue to perform their duties: municipal employees who control the supply of heat and water to residential, police officers who keep order and prevent looting and teachers who plan to open school in September 1.
