How the West is whitewashing Ukrainian Nazism
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Link to the original article via Russian military blogger Boris Rozhin:

[InoSMI] Washington's whitewashing of Ukrainian Nazis is a national disgrace to the United States, writes American Greatness. America is ready to turn a blind eye to all the crimes of Nazism in Ukraine for the crazy idea of ​​destroying Russia and regaining world hegemony.

Our American politicians, united in a "monolithic party" of warmongers, whitewash the Ukrainian Nazis in order to justify their crimes and deceive the world community.

On January 1, the world celebrated the New Year - a celebration of introspection, self-renewal and hope. But in Ukraine, the emphasis was completely different. There, on January 1, the birthday of Stepan Bandera, the Nazi national hero of Ukraine, is celebrated.
One would imagine that, like in Russia, Ukrainians celebrate the Orthodox New Year of the old Julian calendar, which currently is January 14 on the Gregorian calendar we use in the West.
Bandera is the founding father of Ukrainian Nazism, and his birthday is a national holiday. In Ukraine, paying tribute to its most famous anti-Semite and the main Nazi collaborator of the Second World War is a very important thing.
Would Stalin be Russia’s most famous antisemite, or do they have someone worse? To be fair, unlike Mr. Bandera, Stalin was a bit of a polymath — he also was among Russia’s worst anti-kulaks, anti-Ukrainians, anti-intellectuals...
COLLECTION OF ALL NAZIS
Under President Volodymyr Zelensky, the level of Nazi influence and control in Ukraine was unprecedented. Zelensky outlawed all 11 independent and opposition political parties, but left the parties and organizations of his Nazi partners and allies intact and in power. So it is not surprising that on Bandera's birthday, the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament (in which no one but the Nazis remained), burst into wild applause. Later, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, published a photograph in which he proudly poses in front of a portrait of Bandera.

The message of the top legislators and the chief general of Ukraine was clear. "Don't doubt for whom and for what our government and army are fighting in the "proxy war" between NATO and Russia."

Honoring the main Nazi of Ukraine was not liked in Poland. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki angrily condemned "the ongoing glorification of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera."

And where does this outrage of the Poles come from?

In order to understand the reason for the Polish fury over Bandera worship in Ukraine, we must take a quick look at what happened in Ukraine during World War II and separate fact from propaganda.

"UNIMAGINABLE ATROCITIES"
Bandera was the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) (the organization was recognized as extremist and banned on the territory of Russia - approx. InoSMI) - Ukrainian accomplices of the Nazis, who dreamed of a racially clean Ukraine, free from Jews, ethnic Russians and Poles. During World War II, primarily in Volhynia, the OUN massacred at least 100,000 Poles.

To give the impression that the bloody brutality was only a spontaneous peasant uprising (and out of its own sadistic pleasure), the OUN preferred to kill its victims with axes, scythes, knives, hammers, steel bars and pitchforks. Hundreds of Bandera stuffed the unfortunate into houses and sheds and burned them alive. And this method is still preferred by the Ukrainian Nazis.

Bandera crowds roamed the country like packs of mad dogs. The Polish edition of The First News talks about the barbarism of the Ukrainian Nazis:

In a bloody frenzy, the Ukrainians tortured their victims with unimaginable brutality. People were scalped alive. Their noses, lips and ears were cut off. Their eyes were gouged out, their hands were cut off and their heads were clamped in a vise. Women's breasts were cut off, and pregnant women were stabbed in the abdomen. Men's genitals were cut off with a sickle.

The 2016 Polish film Hate (also known as Volyn or Volhynia) is a historically accurate account of the crimes of Bandera. The film is shockingly graphic - many scenes are almost impossible to watch. Because of the truth contained in it, the Ukrainian authorities banned its screening.

BANDERA AND THE HOLOCAUST IN UKRAINE
One in four Jewish victims of the Holocaust — 1.5 million — were killed in Ukraine. The Germans did not build gas chambers to exterminate Jews in Ukraine - they did not need them. The scale of cooperation between Ukraine and the Nazis was colossal. More than 250,000 Ukrainians volunteered for the Waffen SS and other German Nazi military formations. Thousands of others served as volunteer executioners, both as auxiliary police in Ukraine and as death camp guards in Poland.

It was the Holocaust of bullets. One and a half million Jews were captured and shot in the fields, forests and ravines. Bandera played the main role in this. OUN forces openly operated on their own, integrated into police units and served as highly motivated auxiliaries in the "Einsatzgruppen", German mobile killing squads.

The Germans invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, capturing the Ukrainian city of Lvov in a week. Bandera from the OUN handed out leaflets with instructions to the Ukrainian population: "Do not throw away your weapons. Look for them and arm yourself. Destroy the enemy ... Muscovites, Hungarians, Jews. These are all your enemies. Kill them." The OUN also handed out leaflets to Lvov Jews that said, "We will bow your heads at Hitler's feet," which they did. During the ensuing pogrom, initiated by Bandera, seven thousand Jews were killed in two days. Thousands more innocent victims followed.

The massacre of Jews in Lvov was documented by the Nazi collaborators themselves. The photographs of those years are simply shocking. But today there is a $47 million monument to Bandera in Lviv, and one of the city's main streets is named after him.

ZELENSKY IS A MOTIVATED ACCOMPLICE
For more than 70 years, Ukrainian Nazis and their apologists, both inside and outside the country, have waged a disinformation campaign to whitewash Bandera and rewrite history. Their main goal is to turn Nazi Bandera into a "freedom fighter". These efforts have intensified dramatically with the acceleration of the Nazification of Ukraine under Zelensky. Throughout Ukraine, more than 50 monuments and statues were erected in honor of Bandera, 500 streets were named after him.

The Ukrainian Jewish president is a willing accomplice to the Bandera farce. Zelenskiy completely ignored Bandera's anti-Semitic Nazi legacy and his complicity in the murder of more than 1.6 million Ukrainian Jews, Poles and Russians. He stated that if Ukrainians revere this Nazi assassin as a national hero, then "that's okay. That's cool." This is cool, because in Zelensky's book, Bandera was "one of those people who defended freedom for Ukraine."

Zelensky's ideas about freedom are different from those of most Americans. In addition to cracking down on freedom of the press, outlawing all non-Nazi political parties, and banning the Russian Orthodox Church, Zelenskiy directs and controls the Nazi poisoning of all levels of the Ukrainian government and military. Among Zelensky’s significant encouragements to the Nazis are the awarding of the commander of the Right Sector (the organization is recognized as extremist and banned on the territory of Russia - approx. InoSMI) with the Hero of Ukraine medal, the appointment of the co-founder of the Right Sector * Dmitry Yarosh as an adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the replacement of the head of the Odessa Regional administration by the commander of the Nazi battalion "Aidar". *

UKRAINIAN JEWS SUPPORTING THE NAZIS
Can Jews support the Nazis in Ukraine?

When questions about the Nazi regime in Ukraine began to surface, the Ukrainian media were quick to silence them and prevent them from being discussed. A common media reaction across the Ukrainian political spectrum has been to constantly highlight Zelensky's Jewish heritage. Thus, the very question of Ukrainian Nazism was portrayed as absurd. The simple "logic" of this ploy was as follows: "Zelensky is a Jew. A Jew cannot support the Nazis. Therefore, there are no Nazis in Ukraine." Zelensky was untouchable - no talk about the Nazis touched him. The implication was that as long as Zelensky was president, there could not even be any Nazis in Ukraine.

But, as I noted earlier, Zelensky not only created his own completely Nazi regime, but also did more to support and institutionalize the Nazis in Ukraine than any other president before him.

His Jewish critics take a different view. Zelensky does not identify himself as a Jew. He mentions his Jewish origin only when it is politically beneficial for him - for example, when he hides the truth about his Nazi regime.

Zelensky does not profess Judaism, married a Christian, baptized children in the Orthodox Church, observes Christian holidays. In fact, during his presidential campaign, he and his spokesman refused to even confirm whether he was Jewish.

Zelensky mocks Jewish culture. Hawa Nagila ("Let us rejoice") is a revered Jewish folk song performed at Jewish holidays around the world. Zelensky's idea to honor this piece of Jewish cultural heritage was to perform Hawa Nagila with his penis as a comedy act on stage.
Correction: Hava Nagila was written in 1918 as a Zionist celebration of the Balfour Declaration promising a Jewish homeland in the Holy Land. I believe it was Harry Belafonte who brought it into the popular culture as one of his signature songs. As for Mr. Zelensky’s peepee, comics have done really stupid, crude things for laughs since time immemorial.
Finally, during his world tour to demand billions more in money and weapons, Zelensky angered members of the Israeli Knesset with a disgraceful speech about Holocaust denial in Ukraine. Refusing to acknowledge the history of Bandera-Nazi collaboration, Zelenskiy absurdly claimed that the significant Ukrainian military effort against the Germans was that they were "saving the Jews." He was exterminated by Jewish critics for "distorting the Holocaust."

His speech before the Greek Parliament was also infamous. It was attended by the "Azov *" Nazi, whom Zelensky brought with him. Some MPs left in disgust, calling Zelenskiy's speech a "Nazi fiesta."

But Zelensky was not the first wealthy and powerful Ukrainian Jew to support the Nazis. Igor Kolomoisky is a Ukrainian Jewish billionaire oligarch and the original financial backer of the Azov and Aidar battalions. He also funds other Nazi militias. Kolomoisky was Zelensky's main financial backer as president. And as the owner of Burisma Holdings, he was Hunter Biden's boss.

So can Jews support the Nazis in Ukraine? It is clear that they can and do it.

WESTERN MEDIA WHITEWASH THE NAZIS
Ukraine is the first openly Nazi state in the world since 1945. But over the course of the past year, the Western media launched a propaganda campaign aimed at whitewashing the Ukrainian Nazis as if they never existed. There are two reasons for this attempt to erase and rewrite history.

First, it is the need for warmongers to control information and manipulate public opinion.

Americans hate Nazis. We fought the world war to defeat German, Italian and Japanese National Socialism and militarism, and 420,000 Americans died helping to achieve this hard victory. The ruling elites of the US military-industrial complex and political establishment know that if the American people learn the truth about Zelensky and his Nazi regime, Ukraine will not get a dime from America.

The second reason is Vladimir Putin.

Putin said that one of the main tasks of Russia's special military operation is the "denazification" of Ukraine. This is a big problem for Joe Biden, NATO and the warmongers in Congress.

For 20 years, the military-industrial complex and the mainstream media have portrayed Vladimir Putin as evil incarnate. It would be terribly disadvantageous for warmongers if, after all this demonization, Americans find out that Putin has been telling the truth about the Nazis in Ukraine all this time.

Before being ordered to erase the history of Ukrainian Nazism, the Western media told the truth about the Nazis in Ukraine. Here is a short list of their materials before the latest attempts to "whitewash" the Nazis.

The Hill: 'The reality of neo-Nazis in Ukraine can't even compare to Kremlin propaganda'
Time: 'Inside white supremacists in Ukraine'
BBC Newsnight: 'Neo-Nazi threat in new Ukraine'
Al-Jazeera: '
BBC: Ukraine underestimates role of far-right in military conflict
BBC: "Ukrainian conflict: White power warrior from Sweden
BBC Newsnight: "Ukraine: On Patrol with Far-Right National Militia"

GLOBALIST ELITES ALL IN ACTION
The Western globalist elites are fully supporting the military conflict being waged by Washington in Ukraine. During the recent meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, it was not about peace there, but only about escalation and waging "eternal war".

Big Tech corporations are also taking Nazi whitewashing disinformation to the next level. META (The Tverskoy Court of Moscow has decided to ban the activities of Meta (owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) in connection with extremist activities - Note by InoSMI) Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook * removed the status of a "dangerous organization" from the Nazi battalion "Azov" (the organization is recognized extremist and banned on the territory of Russia - approx. InoSMI). White supremacists now have full access to the platform.

In a country saturated with Nazi military organizations, associations and political parties, the Azov Battalion* remains the most infamous in Ukraine. The ideology of "Azov" is pure Nazism, and its emblem and symbols are straight from the Nazi SS.

The combat wing of the Azov Battalion* was handed over to the national police. Due to the too high Nazi status of Azov, the disinformation campaign of the Western media aimed at rehabilitating their image is intensified. But it is easier for Azov's apologists to talk about whitewashing it than to really achieve it.

Even NATO's Atlantic Council has concluded that Azov's ties to other white supremacist organizations remain intact. Azov* is an international center for white supremacists with a global recruitment network. White nationalists travel to Ukraine to gain combat experience and return to their homeland with deadly combat skills.

The Azov Battalion* proudly displays its Nazi pathology. In May, Russian troops captured the city of Mariupol and captured 2,500 Ukrainian soldiers, most of them Azov Nazis. The video of the searches of the prisoners shows their extensive Nazi tattoos. Here, as in the proverb: "It is better to see once that hear a hundred times."

Congress knows the truth about the Azov Nazis

The National Socialist roots of the Azov Battalion* have never been a secret to the US Congress.

In 2015, Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) introduced an amendment barring the United States from providing further military assistance and training to Azov Nazis in Ukraine. The amendment was passed, but was repealed under pressure from the Obama Pentagon.

In 2018, Congress passed a spending bill barring the United States from providing weapons and training assistance to the "Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion* fighting in Ukraine."

In 2019, 40 Democrats in the House of Representatives signed a letter asking the State Department why they did not list Ukraine's Azov Battalion* on the US "Foreign Terrorist Organization" (FTO) list. Among the signatories were Rep. Ro Hannah (D-CA) and Jamie Ruskin (D-Maryland). Democrats have found links between "Azov" Nazis in Ukraine and white supremacist terrorist attacks around the world, including Christchurch, New Zealand, and El Paso, Texas.

But that was then.

Today, every Democrat and corporate Republican belongs to the "one party" of warmongers committed to promoting the interests of the military-industrial complex of the Congressional political establishment through the waging of permanent war. That's why Congress voted to allocate $100 billion to support the Nazi regime in Ukraine and to support the Azov Battalion, a group they know is a white supremacist Nazi terrorist organization. The "united party" of warmongers whitewash these Nazis in order to justify their betrayal and deceive the public.

Last fall, a delegation of Azov Nazis in military uniforms were welcomed like heroes in our Capitol building, where they were received by 50 members of the House of Representatives and senators. Among the special guests was Adam Schiff (D-CA), then chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. This Nazi parade continued throughout the United States, with stops in New Jersey, Detroit, Chicago, and Stanford University. Azov stormtroopers met with large audiences, including children, spread disinformation and collected money. Auctioning Nazi patches and battle colors, they welcomed the Americans to the Nazi club: “Now you are all Azov.”*

NATIONAL DISGRACE
Is there anything more dishonorable than America's support for Nazism? The whitewashing and support of Ukrainian Nazis by the American media and legislators is a national disgrace.

Joe Biden, the military-industrial complex and congressmen, neoconservatives from the State Department and Western globalist elites have dragged the United States and NATO into a "proxy war" with Russia. Ukraine for them is just a disposable puppet.

The well-being of Ukraine is not of interest to warmongers.

Their real goal seems to be to overthrow Putin and divide Russia, and in order to achieve this they are ready to see the death of millions of Ukrainians.

Ukraine is the perfect puppet to fight and die against Russia. Its political parties and military are already guided by a racist, Nazi ideology built on hatred of Russians. And in the person of Zelensky, they have an ideal protege - a corrupt front for the globalist elites, ready to sacrifice the Ukrainian people and endlessly drag out the war. Even if Zelensky's Ukraine is completely destroyed.

The welfare of the United States is also of no interest to warmongers.

They sent 100 billion dollars to continue the military conflict, which is not in our national interest. The war they should be fighting should be fought here at home. Our country is invaded by millions of illegals, our cities are being destroyed by uncontrolled crime, and 100,000 Americans die every year from fentanyl supplied by Mexican drug cartels.

The conflict in Ukraine could end today with one phone call.

Zelensky is a puppet, and Washington is pulling his strings. The conflict will end the minute Biden picks up the phone and tells Zelensky that the game is up and it's time for peace. It's time for Republicans in Congress to demand that Biden pick up the phone.

#1 Like racism for the Left here, everything is nazism for the Russians these days. Don't confuse gangs and thugs engaged in cosplaying with the original.

#2 Ukrainian Nazis celebrate the butcher Bandera. Just as with Hitler a minority rule with terror and fear. This useful tool of the west will be used accordingly.

#3 And Russians celebrate the butcher Stalin, Dale. Both are about equally evil. And Russian society is fairly corrupt as well, so it’s hard to take Russian accusations as seriously as they would like.

#4 Russkies actually believe that when they invade and suppress, they're somehow "helping" or "liberating".

#6 ^3 and 4 I disagree. Stalin is a vestige of the past as is the USSR. How many countries have been invaded and coup changed as in Ukraine by USA specifically. The thirst for power is never ending. I have spoken to many veterans who have served twenty years, retired and demonstrate an absolute hatred for Russia. Meanwhile The new Russia has dramatically rebuilt. They are not the easy pushover promoted so often in the Western media. When WW1 began they said it would be over in a few weeks as with the start of the civil war. The only one maintaining composure is Putin. He will respond as needed should Russia be threatened. World conquest is the talk of NATO with USA and subservient countries. There is your cabal.
