The FBI states that American racists could be cooperating with Ukrainian Neo-Nazis. According to some reports, Azov Battalion members trained white supremacy supporters who participated in the Charlottesville riots. Ukrainian far-right activists have enough experience to share with their foreign sympathizers. For example, an organization glorifying Ukrainian SS soldiers delivers lectures in the country’s schools.
Evgeny Popov with the details.
"I gave up my studies and went as a volunteer to the front line".
Here's high School #315 in Kiev. Present day. It's one of the best schools in the country. Here's a lecture on the heroic Nazis.
"Division Galicia for students. Yesterday, a Ukrainian military honor representative delivered a lecture about the Galicia to the students of school #315. It's worth noting that reports on this glorious military division aren't properly represented in the school curriculum. That's why we decided to fix this situation".
It's likely that the students didn't learn that the Galicia was Nazis-thugs from Hitler's 14th Grenadier Division of the SS "Galicia". The lecturers enjoyed talking to the students. They wrote that they wanted to be invited again.
"We've started to deliver lectures at schools. Invite us, we'll come".
They can't handle Neo-Nazis in Kiev, even given the fact the Nürnberg Tribunal, the main tribunal of the 21st century, acknowledged the SS as criminal for the atrocities against the civilian population. The Ukrainians from the SS aren't an exception.
Anatoliy Doroshenko, WWII veteran: "During the war, the army came across the first captives. They were captured by their fellow Ukrainians. Unsightly things happened there. Imagine, brother fought against brother and attacked in a tank".
On February 28th, 1944, the SS soldiers from the Galicia battalion seized the Polish village of Huta Pieniacka. They burned 172 houses and massacred 868 people. They didn't spare the children, women, or elderly people. This is one of the thousands of crimes by the Galicia, which Kiev presents as a heroic deed. Streets are being named after the division.
"We believe and we're sure that both in Odessa and Ukraine, we'll establish a true Ukrainian order. Ukraine will belong to the Ukrainians but not to the Jews".
- Glory to Ukraine!
- Glory to the heroes!
The successors of Hitler's Galicia are as bad as their predecessors. These young Neo-Nazi drawing gallows near a Star of David and a Nazi cipher weren't arrested. The mayor of Chortkov thanked his followers doing the Nazi salutes. He wrote, "Thank you a lot, guys".
Neo-Nazis officially work for Poroshenko as well. Nataliya Kotskovich for example, a reporter from Channel 5 which is owned by Poroshenko. Even after the stir caused by blogger Shariy, the woman who glorifies Hitler wasn't fired. The authorities need such people.
A memorial plaque in honor of the SS Obersturmfuhrer, Lubomir Makarushka, was solemnly unveiled in his native village of Sivka-Voynilovskaya.
"I want to come up with a statement about a civilizational crime against democracy. There's a bit of irony in it. But I want to say that a terrible crime was committed against the will, position, and wish of the German people in 1945. Nobody asked them when the monuments to Hitler were demolished, or when they changed the names of Adolf-Strasse and other streets. Actually, there wasn't much difference between the Bolshevik communist regime and the Nazi German one".
