| VIDEO: Zelensky's 2014 Comedy Routine Making Light of Ukrainian Support for Neo-Nazi Banderites |
| 2022-03-15 |
| In 2014, shortly after the Maidan coup stoked by Victoria Nuland, Zelensky was a professional comedian. This video shows his standup routine delivered to a national TV audience in which Zelensky makes light of the Ukrainian regime's support for the neoNazi "Banderite" battalions who were at the time committing atrocities across the east and south of Ukraine. The routine's format is a mock "letter" to his "uncle" (think: 'Hello Muddah') from a recruit into a Nazi battalion in Ukraine's war on the Donbas region after Nuland's coup in 2014. Half the audience laughs; the other half is appalled. Transcript: ZELENSKY reads mock "letter" to "uncle": 0:30 "Dear Uncle... things will be alright because I am in the ranks of the [neo-Nazi] Banderites" AUDIENCE LAUGHTER 0:40 "This [ie fighting in a Nazi battalion] is the only way to make money in Ukraine... My salary is small but we are allowed to steal from the Russians" LAUGHTER 0:50 "The same [theft] happened to the Jews, but then the main Bandera man, [Jewish billionaire Igor] Kolomoisky prohibited it" NERVOUS LAUGHTER, PEOPLE LOOKING DOWN 1:08 "As for me, I'm learning English to forget Russian -- with the help of American mercenaries. They're all over the place." LESS LAUGHTER 1:17 "I have married: his name is Vadik! This is normal for us Europeans..." 1:35 "Today our president, Barack Obama, has promised us we will join NATO soon - as an American henchman, of course." 1:46 "If you can, please send me Hitler's book, Mein Kampf. They're sold out here." LAUGHTER Zelensky ends by giving a Nazi salute three times after delivering this last punch line: 1:57 "I do morning exercises on the balcony. I do it like this [Nazi salute, repeated], from my heart to the sun" This is the obscene little puppet who makes light of his own corruption - he is a protege of the corrupt oligarch Igor Kolomoisky - and his country's open embrace of neo-Nazis. At the same time that those monsters were torturing killing and burning their neighbors. |

| #19 Waiter, more Nazis for my friends! Can't have a political discussion nowadays without Nazis. We're talking modern Nazis and Neo-Nazis, of course, not the old-school National Socialist German Workers' Party Nazis. You know that face your dog makes when you explain quantum mechanics to him? You can get people to make that same face by telling them the Nazis were socialists. Drives them into total cognitive dissonance. You'd think the name would give it way, but no. |

| #15 Kanzlerkultur, or, Woke as a Volk A comedy club, Petaluma. "I just heard a terrible rumor! Not only we Jews But you nazis who snooze Are permitted to use Jewish humor!" Goes without saying that I'll stay on the safe side, scrupulously eschewing all humor. |

| #10 Maybe like in the US, only Jewish comedians can do Nazi humor. Mel Brooks being the reigning king. |

| #9 Maybe you're right. Still seems weird to me that a Jewish guy (Kolomoiski) is funding fascist thugs. That is one fucked up place |

| #8 Looked at the video. He is making fun of the "Banderites". He is also making fun of the USA at the same time. Yeah, what a fascist. Try again Russian troll. In the meantime in Moscow, all Putin wants is peace. A piece of Ukraine, a piece of Modava, a piece of Latvia, ... |

| #5 Some background - the Jewish Ukrainian oligarch whom Zelensky's routine makes light of, Igor Kolomoisky, is not only Zelensky's boss and patron at 1+1. Kolomoisky is a primary funder of thugs and murderers within Kiev and yes, neo-Nazi battalions in the East. Reuters on Kolomoisky's "shady private armies":: Amnesty International has reported that the Aidar battalion — also partially funded by Kolomoisky — committed war crimes, including illegal abductions, unlawful detention, robbery, extortion and even possible executions. Newsweek on Kolomoyski's war criminals: The Aidar battalion is publicly backed by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who also allegedly funds the Azov, Donbas, Dnepr 1, Dnepr 2 volunteer battalions, operating under orders from Kiev |

| #1 Alexi Sayle stood on stage throwing the Nazi salute, dressed as Mussolini -- and it not only aired on the BBC, but it's been on US cable TV as well. Should Russia invade Great Britain and the US to "denazi" US? Does it mean Sayle is a fascist? |
