To paraphrase a saying so relevant today it’s scary, those that don’t understand history are bound to be bitten on the buttocks by it. Do you hear that sound? That’s history running up behind you.
Israel just had a Holocaust commemoration that featured celebrating the memory of unrepentant WWII murderers and torturers along with the memory of their victims. That’s a win, win for everyone, right?
The absolute perfect conglomerate of historical events brought the memory of WWII monsters to the red carpet. Axis forces won. Allies lost. It only took 75 years.
Ukraine’s newly minted President Zelensky took the stage and made a point of commemorating the Banderovits Waffen SS, death camp guards, and the UPA along with their Jewish, Soviet, and Ukrainian victims.
History gave the older Ukraine and other Central and Eastern European Axis countries a pass on Holocaust participation. Although they were more enthusiastic about it than Nazi Germany counterpart directly responsible for many events and most of the actions of the Holocaust, Israel loves them.
After the war, Germany apologized for the atrocities committed under Adolf Hitler.
The Ukrainians (OUNm, OUNb, OUNz, and the UPA), the Croatians, the Albanians, and associated riff-raff that fed Hitler’s death machine never apologized. They were never compelled to. Never felt bad about adding millions to Hitler’s body count. And they were allowed to try rewriting their own histories as unsuccessfully as Ukrainian Information Operation managers are trying to do today.
Instead, Ukraine’s IO (Information Operations) managers made a play to gain Hitler allies in the OUN and UPA leadership equivalency with the Soviets.
They succeeded.
Auschwitz was the trap. History, family service, and suffering were the bait. It really was almost an elegant effort. Almost.
What did every journalist and talking-head setting the record straight miss? What are Ukraine’s IO managers counting on? You not being able to conceptualize the following:
Since before the 1920s, there have always been two Ukraines. Separate, ideologically opposed, and different as the color black is to white.
The older Ukraine is a vile national idea (1917) that opposes humanity, staffed Auschwitz, and takes joy in making people suffer. The younger started as the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic (1922).
As late as 1945, the older Ukraine’s nationalist leaders were in Berlin begging Adolf Hitler for money and support for more troops against the allies (Western Europe, Soviet Union, US).
Why would Ukrainian president Zelensky support the view of Older Ukraine instead of scaling back Ukrainian nationalism and stopping the war as he was elected to do?
“How was it possible for a Jewish candidate to win the 2019 Ukrainian presidential bid if Ukraine is a rigidly nationalist country?” answers this question.
The younger Ukraine was soldiers manning the Soviet effort to take down Adolf Hitler and destroy fascism from the planet.
The concept of Ukrainian as a nationality has a definitive start date and author in 1910. The origin of Ukrainian nationality was formed in what became the old Ukrainian’s original homeland and where the Diaspora government settled. The original Older Ukrainian’s homeland was Canada of course.
The older Ukrainians were the first to adopt the Ukrainian nationality and congeal under a Diaspora nationhood.
“In fact, the diverse nomenclature for the Ukrainian ethnic group caused a great deal of confusion not only at the turn of the century but also at a later period.
In 1910 a group of Ukrainian public schoolteachers led by Taras Ferley, then a socialist, founded in Winnipeg a Ukrainian Publishing Company with Y.V. Arsenych as its president and T. Ferley as its secretary. The company began publication of a newspaper Ukrains’ky Holos (Ukrainian Voice). The first editor of this paper was Wasyl Kudryk. The paper was really a pioneer in transforming the “Austrians”, Ruthenians”, “Galicians” and “Bukovinians” into Ukrainians. It popularized the term “Ukrainian” as a replacement for “Ruthenian”.
The people of the province of Galicia and Bukovina, generally called themselves “Rusyny” (Ruthenians), Galicians, Bukovinians and Austrians” the Greek Catholic Church, to which at that time the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian immigrants adhered, preferred the term “Ruthenian.”-Vasyl Veryha
Wasyl Veryha was a Waffen SS officer in the Galician Division, premier Diaspora historian, and president of the World Congress of Free Ukrainians, and had a senior position at the University of Toronto Libraries. According to Veryha in his Master’s Degree thesis, Ukrainian as a nationality was not accepted fully until the 1950s. Ukrainian was first formulated acceptably as a nationality in Canada in the 1930s.
According to George Masni, former UCCA (Ukrainian Congressional Committee of America) Arizona president (akin to a governorship for Ukrainian-American Diaspora), “Veryha designated Canada as “original Ukrainian land” because he felt that it was only there that he had the freedom to freely and fully express his Ukrainian viewpoints.”
In his last interview, Wasyl Veryha said he was proud of his work in the Waffen SS Galicia. He would do it all over again. No regrets. No apology for the Holocaust from this original Older Ukrainian.
Where did the older Ukrainians come from before they congealed under a nationality?
There can be no better commentary on this than from the best known old Ukrainian leader on the planet today. I am referring to the WWII monster and hero to all the Ukrainian Diaspora as well as being the icon for post-2014 Zelensky Ukraine today- Stepan Bandera.
“I was born on January 1, 1909, in the village of Ugrynov, the Old, Kalush district of Galicia, which at that time belonged to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, along with two other Western-Ukrainian countries: Bukovina and Transcarpathia” spent my childhood in Ugrinov the Old, in the house of my parents and grandfathers, growing up in an atmosphere of Ukrainian patriotism and living national-cultural, political and social interests. There were a large library at home, often active participants of the Ukrainian national life of Galicia”-Stepan Bandera’s memoirs.
According to Older Ukraine nationalist scholar Taras Kuzio “Indeed, why did Bandera, the alleged ‘revolutionary,’ not return to the revolution in his homeland?”, which was Galicia, which became Soviet Ukraine, not the non-existent nationalist Ukraine.
On two continents and in three countries, separated by decades, world leaders of older Ukraine, who probably never met agree on this. There was never a Ukraine state for them to go back to.
However, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were 3 highly nationalist western border (Ukraine) countries from which the Ukrainian Diaspora population grew out from.
Ukrainian Diaspora world leaders were shocked when they were gifted more than the region Galicia, Bukovina, and Transcarpathia in 1991.
Because most of the older Ukrainian’s history is outside the borders of today’s Ukraine, the vile politic brought to Kiev in 2014 was allowed to fester and mature, unnoticed and unchecked.
“But after the Bolsheviks strangled Ukrainian independence, the struggle for its restoration extended beyond the borders of Ukraine by the State Center of the UPR in the exile, which for 72 years (!) Continuously represented the Ukrainian Republic at the international level. State independence of Ukraine was restored on August 24, 1991. Solemnly constituting its powers on August 22, 1992, the State Center of the UPR in exile led by the last President of the UPR, Mykola Plavyuk, made a historic statement that “proclaimed on August 24 and approved by the people of Ukraine on December 1, 1991, the Ukrainian state continues to state national traditions of the UNR and is the successor of the Ukrainian People’s Republic “. Democratic traditions and state symbols of the UPR have inherited modern Ukraine.
Therefore our flag is blue and yellow, the coat of arms – Tryzub, the anthem – “Ukraine has not died yet …” Even the name of the Ukrainian hryvnia currency is inherited from the time of the UPR.”-Mykola Plavyuk, last exile president of the older Ukraine.
This shows clearly all the symbols of the nationalist pro-Hitler Ukrainian state were given by the older Ukraine to the unsuspecting younger Ukraine in 1992 by the Diaspora that tried to kill them in WWII and suppress them thereafter.
There is no reason Ukrainians living inside the borders of present-day Ukraine would have any idea the politics of the separate older Ukrainian Diaspora country with a distinctly opposing history and claiming governance over them. Nor could they expect the rabid politics that would be forced on them in 2014.
The younger Ukrainians, whose state began under the Soviet system, thought of nationality the same way American’s do today.
Ask the average American what their nationality is and you’ll get a host of old countries as a response. American is not a nationality.
Josef Stalin suppressed the history of the older Ukrainians so the families would not be targeted or discriminated against by the families of the people they murdered.
Volodymyr Zelensky carefully combined the history of both very separate and distinct people called Ukrainians because it elevates the status of the monsters of Auschwitz to heroes by default. Zelensky is on his way to having the Jewish world quite literally protecting the legacy of Bandera’s OUN and the UPA.
The almost elegant part is once again, a WWII Donbass hero who stood against the vile nationalism was named by Zelenskiy as the hero of Auschwitz.
At the same time, Zelenskiy’s nationalist forces attack and kill Donbass women and children in frontline villages. Some of whom are probably the hero’s family Zelensky named.
Allowing him to combine the very separate and distinct histories of older and younger Ukraine, the world denigrates acknowledging the real suffering and real heroes the Great War produced.
Zelensky has the gall to promote Nazism on Israeli soil and celebrate older Ukraine’s Nazi past in front of the world.
To really understand how vile and ingrained the old Ukrainian political thought is, consider the following. It was meant to garner sympathy and understanding or the Banderovites perspective.
If you are Jewish or have family that fought in WWII to rid the world of nationalism, read it twice.
From an article, My Brothers Spirit, A Short Story of Childhood-“Everything was for the military, by the military. They’d even posted SS guards,” my father broke in. “We were lower than dogs to them, easy to kick around anytime. If someone was dying then it was up to that individual to find an empty corner, or better yet – get out! None of us ever received any of the medicines. I begged the Fraulein to give our son some medicine. It was Danchik’s misfortune to become ill at such a time.”…
“When Danchik finally died,” my mother broke in, choosing what part of the story was more important to dwell on. “I could blame only one person, the head nurse. And when she ordered the body to be removed and the bed made ready for, in her words, ‘… someone who can help the Fatherland, not this Ukrainian pig.’”
“That’s when I lashed out at her, I managed to scratch her neck and kick her in the groin a few times before the SS guards used their clubs on me. I was surprised, like you Helen, that I was allowed to live. They just threw me out and left me unconscious in the mud. I don’t remember who carried me away. But I never let go of Danchik.” My Mother’s words were astounding me. I had never imagined her to be so powerful.”
“So finally, I’d decided to go on the black market. It took me two days to raise the money, sold my only revolver, but I was able to make the contacts and rushed to the infirmary.
When I returned to the hospital with the new serum I’d noticed that my wife’s bed was taken over by a battle-scarred soldier, his legs were bleeding severely. I asked the Fraulein where my son was. She told me that he had died while I was away. I then asked about my wife.”
Do you feel bad for them? Zelensky would cry for them. He wants you to cry for them. I mean they had bad days when they weren’t exterminating people. That can be hard on death-camp prison torturers.
This sympathetic account is about an OUNb family that tortured high profile people on the way to Auschwitz for information. They are Banderovites and the story of maltreatment is probably not exaggerated. The Germans hated older Ukrainians penchant for torture and murder because it was beyond a scale they could understand. They feared and hated them.
“So, what we have is a UPA OUNb officer at a concentration camp having a really bad day. Still feeling bad? You are probably feeling confused as your sense of justice and humanity are both in play.
The reason stories like this get published is to do just that. Confuse and overwhelm you emotionally. You can’t hate the boy. You can’t hate the woman that was called a pig. You can’t hate the dead baby. You can’t even hate a father selling his weapon during a war to save his family.
Let me help. He worked at the concentration camp at Stuttgart. This was a Gestapo operation at the Hotel Silber that specialized in torturing and transport of political prisoners. Stuttgart ghettoed Jews and was a transport hub for Dachau.
In 2005 the remains of Holocaust victims were found in a grave at Stuttgart.
The Ukrainian nationalists (OUNb) starved 3 million prisoners of war to death. They murdered over 250,000 Jews on their own, thank you very much. They couldn’t wait for Adolf to get started, so they held the first Holocaust killing over 30000. They even celebrate that today. The OUN murdered about 500,000 Ukrainians. After WWII, they murdered another 35,000 until Stalin was able to eradicate the nationalist infestation”.– Democrat Says Americans Owe Nazis for Suffering and Gives ISIS Eulogy on C-SPAN
Remember, death camp prisoners don’t have pistols. Pistols are an officer’s sidearm. Prisoners don’t have the opportunity to go to the black market and sell their only pistol. Death camp prisoners can’t purchase specialty medications or get treated at a Waffen SS hospital.
At the same Holocaust commemoration, Polish President Duda and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy got together blaming the USSR for the Holocaust and the outbreak of WWII.
President Duda went on to say Zelenskiy should honor the memory of Simon Petliura which he did upon his return to Ukraine at the Krut memorial in Kiev. The memorial enshrines students that supported Petliura and died when the Soviet army came to push Petliura out from establishing power.
Who was Simon Petliura?
Initially, Petliura agreed to the idea of a Soviet Ukraine. He was put off by the fact he would not lead it. Petliura attempted to form a country called the Ukrainian National Republic in 1917-18.
During this time Petliura murdered 30,000 + Jews and 100,000 Ukrainians.
This is the man Zelenskiy and Duda want to honor at a Holocaust commemoration?
After the Soviets pushed him out, Simon Petliura established the Ukrainian Government in exile. This became the seat of power for the Older Ukrainians.
According to the last President of the Older Ukrainians in the Diaspora Mykola Plavyuk, We gave our credentials to the hands of the President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk. Our move is due to the decision of the Labor Congress of the Ukrainian People’s Republic of 1919 and the decision of the Head of the Directorate of the UNR Simon Petliura, which obliged the President and the Government of the UNR to end its activities since the restoration of Ukraine’s state independence and the election of its people in a manner. As you know, this happened on December 1, 1991.
Volodymir Zelenskiy acknowledged his power stems from the mass murderer of his own people, Simon Petliura. Petliura’s policy is why the 1st President of post-1991 Ukraine was not Mykola Plavyuk. The Ukrainian President thinks the OUN and mass-murdering Stepan Bandera are cool.
Every Ukrainian President from 1991 onward paid homage to the Older Ukrainian nationalism of Petliura and Bandera. No exceptions.
Another Petliura policy was eternal war with the Soviet Union and its successor, Russia.
Another Petliura policy that Bandera cemented is no Ukrainian nationalist policy (platform) can be changed. Was this the downfall of Yanukovych?
When you couple this with the fact that most of the extermination camp guards, torturers, and executioners in WWII were Older Ukrainians, either Petliura followers or OUN Bandera and Melnyk followers, you can understand why this Information Operation is almost elegant.
The Jewish people commemorated their families’ extermination camp deaths by honoring the murderers and allowing the memory of the Soviet Union freeing Auschwitz to be denigrated.
Today, this means there can be no peace in Ukraine until Donbass is depopulated and run through filtration and reeducation. For five years, Kiev has tried to run out the clock and get support to back it if Moscow needed to defend the lives of the Donbass republics.
This is why they are The Nazis Even Hitler Was Afraid of.
Never again? The sting you should feel right now is history biting you in the ass.
I remember reading a breakdown of what region people at Maidan came from.The majority were from West Ukraine (Bandera-land).Followed by people from Central Ukraine.While there were only much smaller numbers from South and East Ukraine. But that doesn’t even tell the full story.West Ukraine has always been an economic problem.And very overpopulated.After the war and until today West Ukrainians immigrated to the other regions of Ukraine in large numbers.Since the Ukrainian regime stupidly took their dialect as the national language,forcing the other regions to learn it. A lot of West Ukrainians got teaching and other regime jobs throughout the other regions.And because East and South Ukraine was the economic powerhouses of Ukraine.West Ukrainian immigrants flocked there over the years for jobs.So many of the Maidan rioters would have come from those groups even if classed as South and East residents. Basically we saw a seizure of power in Ukraine by West Ukrainians infested with the disease of neo-nazism and ultra-nationalism. .
“The Ukraine” is a creation of the German invaders during WW1. Its only purpose was (and still is today!) to break up, colonize and enslave Russia(divide et impera). They even tried to brainwash Russian POWs to achieve this. Just like today the Ukraine was a colony in 1918 with an extremely unpopular puppet regime. Ukrainian nationalists were always mere tools of German and US imperialism. After WW2 Bandera continued collaboration with the Nazis of the German intelligence service “Organisation Gehlen”(renamed later to BND) that was reinstated by the CIA to continue the nazi war against Russia.
“Germans Taught Russian Prisoners of War the Idea of Ukraine”
http://tarpley.net/metaphysical-doubts-concerning-the-existence-of-modern-ukraine-a-1918-creation-of-the-german-general-staff/
“As a “means of struggle against Russia,” the “rebellion of not only Poland, but also of the Ukraine” was sought, according to the decree handed down August 11, 1914 by the Chancellor of the German Reich.[4]
…
The German general Wilhelm Groener, who, as Chief of the General Staff of the Eichhorn/Kiev Army Group was the strong man in the Ukrainian capital from March 28 to October 26 1918, dispatched the message that though one would “continue upholding the fiction” that “the Ukrainian Rada was governing,” de facto, it was the German Reich “by means of our authority and power.”[5] Groener, at the time had sufficiently circumscribed Ukrainian “self-determination,” as merely a transfer from one hegemonic sphere to another. … April 29, 1918, following social rebellions, the Germans put the large landowner Poavlo Skoropadski at the reins in Kiev, quasi as a proconsul. His brutal regime provoked strong protests from the poor peasants. According to one analysis of that period’s German East Policy, “formally speaking” the government was “a dictatorship, however, in the substance, (…) a German General Government.”[6]
…
Already in 1918, the “orange theoretician,” Paul Rohrbach, founded the German-Ukrainian Society, to promote the destruction of the Soviet Union – and simultaneously provide Ukrainian exiles a meeting point, since it could be assumed that, for another German attempt to break off the Ukraine, activists of the Skoropadski regime could come in handy. Berlin’s foreign policy establishment pursued these plans throughout the 1920s and ’30s, until Ukrainian Nazi collaborators led by the fascist Stepan Bandera invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 with the German Army.”

Himmler in 1940:
“In the treatment of the foreign people in the East, we must look to recognize as much as possible individual peoples, that is, in addition to the Poles and Jews, the Ukrainians, the White Russians, the Gorals, the Lemks, and the Kashubians. If there are still somewhere to be found, there are also people. I will say that we are not only most interested in dividing the population of the East into one, but, on the contrary, into as many parts and fragments as possible.”

“Under Operation Sunrise, some 5,000 anti-communist Eastern European and Russian personnel were trained for operational missions at a camp at Oberammergau in 1946, under the command of General Sikes and SS General Burckhardt. This and related initiatives supported insurgencies in areas such as Ukraine, which were not entirely supressed by the Soviets until 1956.”
https://archive.is/I8HOC
“The BND, the West German intelligence service under former Wehrmacht Gen. Reinhard Gehlen, formed a new relationship with Bandera. It was a natural union. During the war, Gehlen’s senior officers argued that the USSR could be broken up if only Germany wooed the various nationalities properly. Bandera had continued lines into the Ukraine, and in March 1956 he offered these in return for money and weapons.71
…
CIA operations with these Ukrainians began in 1948 under the cryptonym CARTEL, soon changed to AERODYNAMIC.
…
The CIA decided to expand its operations for “the support, development, and exploitation of the Ukrainian underground movement for resistance and intelligence purposes.” “In view of the extent and activity of the resistance movement in the Ukraine,” said OPC Chief Frank Wisner, “we consider this to be a top priority project.”98
…
One CIA analyst judged that, “some form of nationalist feeling continues to exist [in the Ukraine] and … there is an obligation to support it as a cold war weapon.””
http://www.archives.gov/iwg/reports/hitlers-shadow.pdf
Even in 2006 the German ambassador and advisor of Yushchenko Dietmar Stuedemann promoted Ukrainian nationalism:
“It is not so important in my view to answer the question whether you share the same roots with Russia from Kyivan Rus. It is more important that you have something distinctive in your traditions, customs, in the variety of your regions and in something modern, for example, when people went into the streets to fight for their prospects [during the 2004 Orange Revolution].”

The nature of the behavior that the creatures which you cite in this article exhibit towards humanity, is precisely the causal factor of my awakening to Truth as an absolute spiritual principle in this lifetime of mine. Here. Today. Now.
The reason that I am conducting my communications operation is to make as many human beings as possible (and furthermore, as many who can actually change things) aware of the truth, and face it dead (removed language,MOD) on. All the time. As a general rule.
I have chosen to do so on my own behalf, as a sentient living being, because I know for a fact that this is required of us by Life and its natural point of spiritual origin.
These creatures and their evil cannot defeat us, if we do this. Neither will they, no matter what.
I’m sorry to say this, but I think the Russian Federation must now start with plans to dismantle Ukraine. With Russia’s economic strengthening, work needs to be done to start separating regions from Ukraine one by one and start joining the Russian Federation under the Crimean scenario. As for Western Ukraine and Galicia, it may be best to form a separate state. Also prepare for Lukashenko’s departure to Belarus and support for pro-Russian forces for Belarus’s entry into the Russian Federation. Ukraine and Belarus should not exist as separate identities because Lenin and Bolsheviks formed them as anti-Russian elements. These are artificial nations.
To achieve this, Russia must significantly raise the standard of living of its population and overcome this stagnation in order to make it more attractive to the population of Ukraine and Belarus.
No need to be apologetic for stating the obvious truth, Bosnian Croat. It is high time mother Kiev was restored to her Russian offspring. Separating her from the rest of Russia was by far the most hare-brained of the many many hare-brained schemes by which Kruschev lost the Presidency.
Very enlightening and educational, George. This deep history and report of the most recent news produced by the fraud Zelensky (reformer? Please, there will never be reform in Ukraine.) is depressing at the least.
Porky strutted like a Nazi, acted like a Nazi, used the Nazis, but I don’t think he would have done what Zelensky has done.
And his patrons, the EU and USA have said nothing.
As for Poland’s leader and Zelensky bonding, what’s new? Russophobia is in their genes. Both are defective mutants.
Larch,
Don’t think Porky knows who Nazis were and how they operated.
At best, you can compare him to Banderovci, a pathetic imitation.
Zelensky’s role is to be puppet. Almost all know that. So far he is doing well following the script.
Best regards, Spiral
“Poland’s leader and Zelensky bonding,”
They are “bonding” because they represent the same Tribe. “200 yrs Together” gives the general outlines of this Reality in this region. The rest is seen in the details which unfortunately are hidden through the language barrier.
There is no coincidence that the current Polish President has a Jewish wife. There is no coincidence that the Polish PM has Jewish roots. There is no coincidence that the Knesset ( !!!!!) held a session in Poland some years ago WHERE the future Polish President was present and shortly after this event became Polish president !!!
So “bonding” is a misleading term. The theatrical script was written and the puppets are dancing on the stage as instructed. As they do the Poles sleep thinking all is well.

This is all very well planned out. These are not coincidences !!!
Yulia Kapitelman( vel Yulia Tymoshenko) is another example of how the game is played.
How is it that it is always hardcore Zionists – like Mafia asset Zelensky – who seem to be utterly possessed by everything Nazi,Hitler, Shoah ? Do they know something that so far has eluded investigator George Eliason on his lifelong journey for truth ?
Hint: ‘Cui bono?’ is only half the ticket, the twin question one has to ask is ‘Who financed the whole show?’.
Hitler obviously did some very unpleasant public things, but he mostly did them b/c his private concerns about the health of the human race were not being addressed by most of Europe and America. Once all in, he stepped over the line and was tamed by Russia.
These same concerns still have not been addressed by these same offenders, so once and a while a rebel gets fired up and possessed and must present their case, so yes, in theory, he could know something that eluded’s investigators.
_smr the answer to your question, I am persuaded, is the same as the answer to the question:
“Why do male children victims of pedophilic rape, in turn, become pedopholic sodomic rapists themselves???.
The Cycle of Abuser-Abused-Abuser- Abused’ Abuser-Abused…………..ad infinitum …until someone or something capable of comprehending the cycle and rising above it……….intervenes effectively enough (without just another form of punishment/torture/death/ abuse ……. to stop it.
WHY?
At the most visceral level, it’s like the famous “Bettleheim Sysndrome” of Jewish victims of concentration camp abuse surviving by imitating their NAZI guards……showing cruelty to their fellow inmates….and thus “Surviving Better, At Least for a While…..if not beyond the war’s end….by serving those guards…..in better controlling their “weaker” fellow jews.
Outside of the camps you had the Soros father and son duo…..running “free” around NAZI-occuppied Hungary (and now the world) …..exhibiting the same survival “instinct”….where the body is saved………….and the soul willingly plungers into Hell, without one slight tinge of conscience.remaining.
The # 1 Law of Nature and of Physical Life: Survive!
How fitting that even German occuppiers (many of whom were not NAZI’s just draftees!!) were horrified and disgusted by this animal survival dynamic displayed right in front of their shocked eyes……………..according to the author.
Degrees of humanity survive even the most inhuman circumstances.
Why? Because Zelenskii has no real choice, that’s why.
Oh well, he always was just an actor.
Huh? No real choice? Who forced him to become a “president” of this caricature (and a bloody one at that) of a country? And betray the memory of his own grandfather who within Soviet Army fought against Nazis?
Most know little to nothing about this history. We have been fed a different story to demonize those who were more the victims and make heroes out of the monsters!
From a couple of articles I’ve read from stalker zone, the NAZI troops were horrified by the bloodthirsty conduct of the Banderists. And here in Canada our now deputy P.M. Christia Freeland whose history is linked to these monsters supported policies and actions to overthrow countries such as Venezuela, even if it means starving the people to death, to support the agenda of the U.S. What does this tell us about the land of the free and home of the brave? It isn’t! The heroes as we are told, those who ‘are a force for good in the world’ aren’t. They are the monsters.
I also have serious doubts about what is called ‘the holocaust’. Germany had been totally raped and pillaged after the first war. It was brutal. Maybe the NAZI’s saw the roll of the Zionists in this, but did they not know it was the British secretive round table groups who master manipulated the war? They were just trying to get their country back. The camps were not ‘fun camps’ or spas. They were prisoner of war camps where starvation, disease, and exposure took a massive toll in loss of life. How is it that Ann Frank, a Jew, died in one of these camps while in the infirmary if they were trying to exterminate them?
One comment said that the time needs to come when Russia moves into the Ukraine and breaks it apart. The break-away Republics already voted once and did so by a large margin to join Russia. Mr. Putin said no. When will you honour their choice Mr. Putin and save those poor people from more suffering and death?
I have talked to one woman who was visiting my rural community. She is from Finland. I steered the conversation to Russia and she told me that from birth they are taught two things: always hate Russians and have a sauna in your house! Taught from birth to hate. Another from Croatia, a Roman Catholic said he only wanted to kill the Orthodox! It is no surprise to me that western Ukraine is run by such people. They are born and raised to hate Russians and Orthodox. While I acknowledge where a person was born and raised, I don’t see anyone as anything other than a person, of whom Christ made it obsolete as to nationality. All who believe in Him become one body, the true Israel of God. I recall the prayer of elder St. Paisios of Athos: God, I don’t know what you will do. But I surrender myself to you completely so that you will cause me to become a human being.
Great article to explain certain details.
i would however one clarification and one historical note.
As far the historical, given that I was never clear on the importance of Canada of all places:
About 20 years ago I came upon an old “Ukrainian” newspaper from 1914-1918 Winnipeg (maybe Ukrainskij Holos, and I could not find it thereafter. In it, the author said when the Russian Empire falls (and he thought was a good thing), we people of that area need to decide one common name: the three choices are Rusyn, Vikrainian, and Ukrainian. Ultimately, as we knowe, that last was selected. I didn’t know how long it took.
One clarification: the Trancarpathia referred to has always been pr-Russian, a branch of the great Russian nation “from the Poprad River (in Slovakia) to the Pacific”. We are insulted to be called Ukrainian, whixh is the separatist movement.
Rusyns from Zakarpatye migrated around year 1750 to Pannonia in Austria Hungary , today Slavonia and Voyvodina (parts of Croatia and Serbia respectively). They founded new villages, schools and their national societies. They have been recognised in former Yugoslavia as an ethnic minority. My father and all his relatives are their descendants. He was the first generation to merry a non Rusyn, they spoke their Rusyn dialect at home when he was little. They called themselves Rusini (Rusin singular), and for them was an insult to call them Ukrainian.
”Another Petliura policy that Bandera cemented is no Ukrainian nationalist policy (platform) can be changed. Was this the downfall of Yanukovych?”
Yes, that’s my take exactly. The Ukros were seething with rage as Yanukovych rightly refused to sign EU’s colonial diktat. What passes for Ukro ”nationalism” is total grovelling before the West whose repeated genocides, wars, and financial strangulation policies in Ukraine are either flatly denied or eulogised. By contrast, the magnanimity of the USSR elicits extreme hostility; most notably in the form of the Holodomor hoax and the ensuing psychobabble.
To be fair to Ze, he doesn’t have much choice. If he takes any steps off the neocon reservation, or even makes any noises about doing so, his American masters will inflict one or more of the following upon him:
* Western prosecutors suddenly take a keen interest in the activities of one I.V. Kolomoiskii. Some or all of the accusations to be leveled will undoubtedly be grounded in fact.
* The IMF will express its dissatisfaction with Ukraine’s anticorruption efforts, and as a result, the latest aid tranche will be held up. Again, it’s not like Ukraine has been getting less corrupt. For that matter, the IMF internal studies noted that there’s no way Ukraine will be able to pay back what it owes.
* Maidan 3.0. We’ll get it right this time, no, really.
* Assassination.
* The Nazi bullyboys, the ones that are figments of “Russian propaganda”, will finally be let off their leash for real, this time. As Kolomoiskii himself pointed out, many of them don’t necessarily exactly like Jews.
Even if the American ambassador hasn’t pointed this out to Ze, he doesn’t need to do so.
Remember, Poroshenko ran for office as a relative moderate, then morphed into Bloody Petya immediately after getting elected.
Makes me feel sick tbh.
Apropos Zelensky’s atrocious blunders at two recent commemorative events, let’s get the record straight.
The article incorrectly states that “Ukraine’s newly minted President Zelensky took the stage and made a point of commemorating the Banderovits Waffen SS, death camp guards, and the UPA along with their Jewish, Soviet, and Ukrainian victims.”
Zelensky did NOT take the stage in Israel at their event. Moreover, he refused to even attend the ceremony giving a most ridiculous excuse. Thus drawing a storm of criticism in Israel, Russia and even in the Ukraine.
By the way, the ceremony on January 27th in Israel was dedicated to remembering victims of the Holocaust and of the Leningrad blockade. President Putin was given an honor to unveil the stela in their memory.
But a few days later, in Poland, at the commemorative event at Osventism, he did indeed take the stage, along with Poland’s president Duda, with some mind boggling remarks.
Not only did he completely misinterpret the WWII history but went so far as to equate the role of Nazi Germany with that of the Soviet Union. Stating, of all things!, that those two “regimes” started the war and the Holocaust. (As if Ukraine was not part of the Soviet Union at the time!). Those who are furious at Zelensky for those (and other equally outrageous remarks) now call him – and justifiably so – a traitor. Of his country, “his people”, and of his grandfather who was an officer of the Red Army during the war.
In the 1890’s Canada’s Minister of the Interior wished to populate the Canadian prairie region as a foil against U.S. interests and to keep the indigenous people off the land. He wanted to find people from the regions of western Ukraine as defined in the article:
“When I speak of quality I have in mind something that is quite different from what is in the mind of the average writer or speaker upon the question of immigration. I think that a stalwart peasant in a sheepskin coat, born on the soil, whose forefathers have been farmers for ten generations, with a stout wife and a half-dozen children, is good quality.”
His advertising worked as a couple of million immigrants from the region came to Canada.
The one overarching lesson to be learned from studying the complete and competing histories of WWII and the series of events before and after it:
“There are no good guys in senior government positions and the senior military.”
That all parties are still exaggerating death counts and demonizing “the other” shows that axiom is still true today.
