Lies about neo-nazis and the far right movement in Ukraine

Lies about neo-nazis and the far-right movement in Ukraine.

For a decade, Moscow has been calling Ukrainians Nazis. It began right after the invasion of Crimea and Donbas. You actually will not find this propaganda prior to 2014. It was literally born during the invasion of 2014 to justify russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

A favorite propaganda story that russians and brainwashed trolls like to repeat is about “neo-nazis” and a “large far-right movement” in Ukraine. The propagandists will throw the names of Stepan Bandera, the Right Sector, Azov Battalion, or Svoboda Party.

The tactic used by russians is directly from the propaganda master himself, Goebbels, to whom people often attribute the quote: “accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” Yes, the photo is actually from russia, taken during the National Unity Day in Moscow. But instead of exchanging photos, let me point out two objective facts about Ukrianian far-right movement:

Fact 1. It is very likely, there is a much larger far-right movement in your own country than in Ukraine. Unlike most Eastern European countries which saw far-right groups become permanent fixtures in their countries’ politics during the decline and fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the national electoral support for far-right parties in Ukraine only rarely exceeded 3% of the popular vote. Far-right parties usually enjoyed just a few wins in single-mandate districts, and no far-right candidate for president has ever secured more than 5% of the popular vote in an election. Just for comparison, the support of far-right parties in European countries, such as Italy, France, Sweden, is always in double digits.

Fact 2. Several years ago, Pew Research asked 56,000 of responders whether they agree that “our culture is superior to others”. The most chauvinistic among the Eastern European countries was… russia(!) – over 69%. Ukraine was among the least chauvinistic countries, similar to Lithuania and Latvia, and much lower than Poland.

You can add other arguments, such as the Ukrainian President is Jewish, that people from all over the world have joined the Ukrainian army, that russia has been systematically spreading lies and fabricated photos about Ukrainian far-right movement. But no matter how you twist the russian propaganda – it is a plain lie. They accuse others of who they really are.

  1. “It is very likely, there is a much larger far-right movement in your own country than in Ukraine.”

    Absolutely right. The far right is on a roll in Europe: Wilders, Le Pen, AfD etc are the tip of the iceberg.
    The UK now has a magaputler party: Reform UK, headed up by Trumpkov’s UK bagman Nigel Farage. (You will have observed that Farage popped up in Iowa to congratulate his boss).
    Reform is polling at 10%. It will take votes from The Tories, which will probably let Labour get into power.

  2. “It is very likely, there is a much larger far-right movement in your own country than in Ukraine.”

    In other words, we have more people that are brainless zombies.

  3. Ukrainians are, as yet, generally unaware of the ethnic and racial strategies of western elitism; and the demographic replacement which has ben wrought in France, Germany, England, Sweden … Even the Irish people are now suffering this process. It is completely immoral and coercive, and without a mandate from the natives. If, as I earnestly hope, the Ukrainian people defeat Putin and hang on to their sovereignty, autonomy, and freedom, the western elites will certainly seek to impose multiracialism on them, along with the hyper-equalitarian homosexual and trans agendas. I hope you will be vigilant in the matter.

    That said, what is a native people to do when its political class serves not them but the Money Power, and embarks upon such a process? Multiracialism in my home was embarked upon in 1948 – we are ordered to treat the imported populations as ethnic minorities. Are we to make no politics in our own life-cause? Well, here is the rub. Making such politics … doing the natural and right thing by one’s kind and one’s children … is hate-labelled as “far right”, “fascist”, nazi, “xenophobic”, and all the rest of the new political expletives. There is, of course, no National Socialism anywhere. There is only a desire for life, freedom, justice, and respect and loyalty from those we elect.

    Don’t throw the same expletives around. Don’t assume it must be wrong for a native people to defend its life and land from a treacherous political class and a population replacement agenda. It can never be wrong. Learn from our experience. Make the necessary distinctions.

    • You seem almost to be commenting on a different article.
      The above article, written by a conservative Ukrainian-American, is specifically about Russia’s genocidal fascist regime slurring Ukraine with the thing that it is itself guilty of: Namely naziism. You seem to have completely ignored what prof Sheremeta has to say, in order to express your opinion about govt policies in Western European nations.

      Ukraine is not a homogeneous society. Many Ukrainian cities have huge numbers of different ethnicities. The famous city of Mykolaiv for example, has 100 ethnicities. Most of them have been there for centuries.

      For 360 years Ukraine has had only one enemy that wishes to murder and/or subjugate them and that is Russia. (In 1941-45 it was Nazi Germany as well.)

      The western elites will not “seek to impose multiracialism on them…..,” because they already have it and it is a success. Ukraine is one of the few large nations of Europe where Jews in full religious regalia can walk the streets of their cities without fear of verbal or physical abuse. There are almost zero cases of antisemitism, anti-Islam, anti-gay or anti-Gypsy behaviour.

      I’m not saying Ukraine is perfect; far from it, but on these matters it is ahead of the curve.

      Filthy RuZZian invaders on the other hand, seek to torture and murder Ukrainian Orthodox Christians, Evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslim Tatars and anyone else who does not bow down to their nazi death cult.

      Last year in the occupied part of Kherson oblast, an entire Ukrainian Gypsy family was murdered by invader scum just for the gratification of their primitive desires.

      • Added to that Mike, Ukrainians like almost all other Countries have spread across the World, further exposing them to multi-culturalism.

        Contributor John Standing seems to have posted a very thinly veiled racist and homophobic piece, viz;
        ‘the western elites will certainly seek to impose multiracialism on them, along with the hyper-equalitarian homosexual and trans agendas. I hope you will be vigilant in the matter.’

        Are you a homophobic racist John Standing?

          • Ah it was meant for you Scradge, I don’t know why I wrote Mike!

            I blame old age.

        • Why would any native people be pro-foreignisation of his homeland, and accept hate-label “racist”. And why do you want the race-replacement of the native European peoples? Do Europeans not hace the right to homeland? Would you replace Russification with Afro-Asianisation?

          You do not seem to me to be a man of honesty and principle. Rather one of pathological white-hatred.

          • Well what you have now written I can agree with, I don’t agree with ‘foreignisation’ if thats a real word, if not it suits well, but at the same time I have seen the improvements that many different immigrants have brought to the UK.

      • Child, you are arguing for the life and rights of the Ukrainian native but against the life and rights of native Europeans in the west.

        For the avoidance of doubt, all peoples of the land have right on the land which no imported, colonising population can have. Wrong is done by Russia’s elites when they impose their ethnic dictates on another’s land and by the western elites when they do the same, after their own fashion.

        Is this really not clear to you? Peoples must live, and that includes the peoples of the West.
