Ukraine news
Many have sought to justify the Russian invasion of the Ukraine with
the fact that there are Nazis in the Ukraine. There are. There are also
many Nazis in the US and Europe. Russia itself is not immune, the
reigning ideology there for the last 600 hundred years is tsarism. White
Russian tsarists were closely allied with the Nazis in WWII and played an
active role in the slaughter of millions of victims - Slavs, Jews, Roma,
LGBQ, resistance fighters and anyone else on the list. After the
war, Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover brought a segment of the White Russian
leadership, the "VorKommando Moskau," an SS unit, to New Jersey where they
were at home in a substantial emigre community that included German Nazis
and were the ones to harrass Assata Shakur. For more on this, see
New Jersey and the Nazis by Hans Wolff, 1998. |
The truth about Neo-Nazis in Ukraine 4/9/2022 UnHerd: "When Putin launched
his invasion of Ukraine it was under the guise of ‘denazifying’ the country. But
are there really any Nazis in Ukraine? Or is this just a story spun by the
Kremlin? Aris Roussinos joins Freddie Sayers to unpick this contentious topic
and seek some insight into Ukraine’s far-Right factions."
Nazis in Ukraine: Seeing through the fog of the information war 3/30/2022 Liberation
News: "Disputing the existence of Nazis and fascists in Ukraine serves the
purpose of constructing a twisted but simplistic narrative loosely based on
WWII: Putin is an evil, Hitler-like figure intent on attacking the
freedom-loving Ukrainian government and its innocent supporters. The goal of
such a narrative is to foster blind and unquestioning support for the Zelenskyy
government, NATO and the imperialist Western powers. A “humanitarian” war,
meaning a brutal NATO intervention that would likely spark WWIII, is thereby
presented as a viable option. In this context, any attempt to provide a sober
and concrete analysis of the actual history of Nazism in the region runs the
risk of being disingenuously labeled and dismissed as “pro-Putin” because it
does not support this war-mongering narrative."

Intifada: "“Although Bandera and his followers would later try to paint the
alliance with the Third Reich as no more than ‘tactical,’ an attempt to pit one
totalitarian state against another, it was in fact deep-rooted and ideological,”
journalist and author Daniel Lazare writes in a 2015 Jacobin review of historian
Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe’s book Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a
Ukrainian Nationalist. “Bandera envisioned the Ukraine as a classic one-party
state with himself in the role of führer, or providnyk, and expected that a new
Ukraine would take its place under the Nazi umbrella.”"
Ukrainian leftist criticizes Western war drive with Russia: US is using Ukraine
as ‘cannon fodder’ 3/14/2022 Multipolarista: "A left-wing peace activist

coups in a decade, fueling a devastating civil war, and exploiting his nation as
a proxy against Russia."
Ukraine's Nazi problem is real, even if Putin's 'denazification' claim isn't 3/5/2022 NBC: "But
even though Putin is engaging in propaganda, it’s also true that Ukraine has a
genuine Nazi problem — both past and present. Putin’s destructive actions —
among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying
when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare. But important as it is to
defend the yellow-and-blue flag against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, it
would be a dangerous oversight to deny Ukraine’s antisemitic history and
collaboration with Hitler’s Nazis, as well as the latter-day embrace of neo-Nazi
factions in some quarters."
How Ukraine’s Jewish president Zelensky made peace with neo-Nazi paramilitaries
on front lines of war with Russia 3/4/2022 Gray Zone: "While Western media

on them as front line fighters."
Why is Putin Calling the Ukrainian Government a Bunch of Nazis? 3/4/2022 ADL: “This
propaganda isn’t new. Russia has for years highlighted the activity of a
marginal group of Ukrainian ultra-nationalists as a way of trying to stigmatize
all of Ukraine. Yes, some members of these ultra-nationalist groups have used
Nazi insignia, made Hitler salutes, and used antisemitic rhetoric, but they are
politically insignificant and in no way representative of Ukraine. The political
parties which the ultra-nationalists support received just over 2 percent of the
vote in the 2019 elections. Ukraine is a flawed democracy, but unquestionably a
democracy, and in no way a Nazi regime.”

reforzar la posición del gobierno de Ucrania y debilitar y asediar a las

Ukraine's Anarchist Militants Fighting neo-Nazis 4/21/2019 Popular
Front: "Ukraine has a long history of political anarchism, dating back to the
Black Army of anarchist revolutionary Nestor Makhno in the 1920s. Since the
country's 2014 Maidan revolution though, the historical and modern day rise of
fascist groups is more widely known. Whilst the Russian government's claims that
the revolution was some kind of "Nazi Junta" are false, Ukraine does have a
rising problem with militant fascism that cannot be ignored. In a bid to combat
the growing far-right, a group of anarchists calling themselves Rev Dia
(Revolutionary Action) have begun to organise. They're armed, training, and have
never spoken to journalists before. Until now…"
Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine 2/22/2019 The
Nation: "Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only
celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of
Maidan’s ultranationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the
uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in
Ukraine. Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and
erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria.
There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and
LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re
being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE);
Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal
Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and
Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the
monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with
impunity."

Russia-Ukraine Coverage Update: What Western Mass Media Downplays 1/27/2022 AntiWar: "I
don’t believe that Putin is primarily motivated to tweak the West. If anything,
it’s more the other way around. His primary motivation is to militarily strike
before Ukrainemightbecome a strong NATO beachhead, in conjunction with better
securing the position of the Donbass rebels. I make this assessment, while being
uncomfortable with the action undertaken and some of the responses to it. The
selective outrage is breathtaking, given the lack of attention to the plight of
the Donbass rebel inhabitants. These people have endured eight years of reckless
shelling from the Kiev regime."

‘Self-appointed advocate of new Ukraine’: Soros emails leaked by anti-Kiev
hackers 6/1/2015 Russia Today: "Soros has been involved in Ukraine since
1989, when he founded the Ukrainian International Renaissance Foundation (IRF)
that provided more than $100 million to Ukrainian NGOs two years before the fall
of the Soviet Union. The billionaire is connected to several non-governmental
organizations in Ukraine that advocate closer ties to the EU and aided the
EuroMaidan movement that toppled Viktor Yanukovich’s government last February.
In March, he criticized the EU for paying too much attention to Greece’s
economic problems and promised to invest $1 billion of his own money in
Ukraine."
Soros Admits Responsibility for Coup and Mass Murder in Ukraine 5/27/2014 Infowars: "“First
on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you
during the revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil
society groups in eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic. Are you doing
similar things in Ukraine?” Zakaria asked Soros. “Well, I set up a foundation in
Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation has been
functioning ever since and played an important part in events now,” Soros
responded."
Burning Ukraine’s Protesters Alive 5/10/2014 Consortium News: "In the U.S.
press, Ukraine’s “National Guard” is usually described as a new force derived
from the Maidan’s “self-defense” units that spearheaded the Feb. 22 revolt in
Kiev overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych. But the Maidan’s
“self-defense” units were drawn primarily from well-organized bands of neo-Nazi
extremists from western Ukraine who hurled firebombs at police and fired weapons
as the anti-Yanukovych protests turned increasingly violent. But the mainstream
U.S. press – in line with State Department guidance – has sought to minimize or
dismiss the key role played by neo-Nazis in these “self-defense” forces as well
as in the new government. At most, you’ll see references to these neo-Nazis as
“Ukrainian nationalists.”"
Boris Kagarlitsky on Ukraine: From the Maidan to the revolution? 4/13/2014 Links: "But
if official Kiev makes serious concessions and tries to pacify the south-east,
accepting the demands for autonomy, a referendum, free election of governors and
so forth, conflict will automatically erupt between the moderate wing of the
government and the Right Sector. And while the fighters of the Right Sector have
not shown themselves to be particularly effective in struggle against the
rebellious masses of eastern Ukraine, in the capital they are a very real force.
Amid the confusion and demoralisation of the forces of law and order, the Right
Sector are capable of overthrowing the regime, or at least of causing it very
serious difficulties."

George Soros’ Giant Globalist Footprint in Ukraine’s Turmoil 3/14/2014 New
American: "Ukraine’s huge network of natural gas pipelines not only supply
much-needed Russian-produced gas to EU countries, but also is the source of
vital revenues to Russia from that energy delivery system. The peoples of
Russia, Ukraine and the EU benefit from a stable, peaceful, neutral Ukraine;
forcing Ukrainians into choosing one or the other camp benefits no one — except
the power-mad rulers of Russia and the EU, and their globalist confreres. Why
then, should Americans take direction from George Soros, Barack Obama, John
Kerry, Hillary Clinton, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, John McCain
and other internationalist voices who insist it is Ukraine that must “choose” …
but the only choice considered acceptable and legitimate to the globalist choir
is for Ukraine to join the EU? Soros and his huge stable of “public
intellectuals” at Project Syndicate have been flooding the global media with
propaganda to that purpose."
The Eurasia Foundation, USAID, and US meddling in Ukraine 3/14/2014 Democratic
Underground: "So there are a number of threads here, ranging from the relatively
benign Neocon connections to something far deeper and more pernicious. There is
also a consistent pattern of smoothly written propaganda that goes back over
many years. I think most of us are aware that anything coming out of Russia
should be taken with a grain of salt, but we're far less discriminating when it
comes to articles from people with apparently legitimate credentials that appear
in Western media. That strikes me as a mistake -- particularly when it comes to
smoothly written denials of the fascist element in Ukraine. This is one case
where Putin's propagandists likely have more facts on their side than our own."

Who Was in Kiev’s Independence Square? 3/7/2014 CounterPunch: "Dormant
during the Soviet era, the nationalist movement reappeared after independence in
1991, when the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) was formed. Until the
early 2000s, the SNPU was a marginal, xenophobic and ultra-nationalist
organisation, and what little support it had was largely in the west of the
country. Its leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, was elected to the Ukrainian parliament for
the first time in 1998. During the 2000s, the SNPU changed significantly. It
shed its fascist trappings at its 6th congress in 2004, renaming itself Svoboda
(freedom) and abandoning its neo-Nazi badge, the Wolfsangel (wolf hook), in
favour of a more neutral symbol. According to Oleksiy Leshchenko of the
Gorshenin Institute thinktank, these cosmetic changes “were intended mainly to
reassure voters, but were also meant to improve Svoboda’s image abroad.”

Neocons Have Weathered the Storm 2/28/2014 Common Dreams: "Since the late
1970s and early 1980s when they first emerged as a noticeable force in
Washington, the neocons had become “insiders.” They were both admired and feared
for their intellectual ferocity, but — most important for their long-term
survival – they had secured access to government money, including the slush fund
at NED whose budget grew to over $100 million during the Bush-43 years. NED,
which was founded in 1983, is best known for investing in other countries’
“democracy building” (or CIA-style “destabilization” campaigns, depending on
your point of view), but much of NED’s money actually goes to NGOs in
Washington, meaning that it became a lifeline for neocon operatives who found
themselves out of work because of the arrival of Obama."
