“Glory to Hong Kong, Glory to Heroes!”

Yet another example of cross-pollination between Hong Kong and Ukraine has surfaced…

The slogan “Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes!” has become very popular during the Ukrainian Euromaidan. The origin of this slogan is among the Ukrainian nationalists of 1920s and 1930s, who often combined this with the Roman salute. Today’s Ukronazis do throw a little Sieg Heil as well.

A photo of a helmet has surfaced featuring a text in Cyrillic saying: “Glory to Hong Kong, Glory to Heroes!”

Anatoly Karlin notes that far more confident Western nations are cool with the article “the”…

Read Anatoly’s article on the matter of confidence deficient nations of Eastern Europe trying to control language.

While we see a lot of institutions in the West adopting the spelling Kyiv (out of pure Russophobia in my opinion), the prononciation of Kyiv must be very difficult for the Anglo-saxons.

Bryan MacDonald notes that while the spelling has changed, the pronunciation has not…

Stepan Bandera Suffocated Cats

I was interested in verifying an old claim made by Oles’ Buzyna…

In an essay, “Bandera, the Suffocator of Cats”, the late journalist, Oles’ Buzyna made the claim that the young Stepan Bandera liked suffocating cats. He quoted a biographical book by Halyna Hordasevych, Stepan Bandera, the Person and The Myth, where it said this:

If the incident with cats really took place, it was not out of an inborn tendency toward sadism, but out of a boyish and perhaps not so smart wish to test oneself, would he be able to kill another being? Since on the path of revolution, that Stepan Bandera has chosen, he would have to kill ennemies.

This, it needs to be noted, is a favourable biography from a fangirl. And while I trust Oles’ Buzyna’s integrity, I had to verify this information anyway.

So I requested a friend in Kiev to get me this book. He said the bookseller was very happy because apparently few were after this kind of literature. Neither was I going to read it, I was only looking for that particular quote:

The book cover:

Abandoned Child That Wasn’t ?

WTF?

Syrian Refugees Claim They are the Ukrainian Volleyball Team

From RT…

Greek police have caught a group of migrants from Syria attempting to fool migration control by posing as a volleyball team from Ukraine.

Ten Syrian refugees were arrested at Athens International Airport over the weekend, police said. In an attempt to fool migration control, they all dressed in identical uniforms, brought a number of similar sports bags, and two volleyball balls.

They also had Ukrainian passports, which were listed as stolen or lost.

Demo in Support of Ukraine in St. Petersburg

A demonstration in support of ethnic cleansing in the Donbass took place in St. Petersburg, Russia…

Because nobody gives a fuck in Russia, only few local crazies have arrived. This one is particularly interesting:

Rev. Alexander Khmelev, on the left with some activists flashing the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. On the right: An activist of the Solidarity, Alliance of Homosexuals and LGBT for Equality, is a volunteer of a Group for the Aid of the Incarcerated.

Here he is, in his own words:

A video has been circulating featuring activists exiting a police vehicle, and being met by Boris Vyshnevsky of Yabloko. It features a strange mix of Ukrainian national, Ukrainian nationalist and LGBT symbols.
