What the author of these words, Imran Ahmed, does not quite realise is that the Ukrainian segment of Facebook is moderated by people rather sympathetic to the Azov battalion and other neo-nazi groups in Ukraine. Pro-Russian activists get regularly blocked on that website for no reason by these people. Azov and other nazis are under control of the Ministry of Interior, and those are allies of the United Kingdom. This is a spillover from British foreign policy. Perhaps Imran Ahmed should send his report to the Foreign Office.
ZeLupa (Volodymyr Zelensky) says the society has a lot of painful questions, which need honest answer, one of them is: “Who is guilty of the tragedy of 2 May 2014?” Here is an honest answer: They have fucked about for so long until they became shish kebab and over ready. 3 March 2014, peaceful Kulikovo protesters with batts have stormed the Odessa Regional Administration (ORA), beaten up people and burned the flags (the burning flag is that of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a pro-fascist nationalist group). The flag near the ORA was taken down and replaced with “aqua fresh”, they have organised everything according to the Donetsk scenario but something did not go as planned…
By 2 May, the Antimaidan protests lost all momentum. Meanwhile, in Donetsk, the Ukrainian state has already collapsed. The 2 May attack was planned for months to serve as a warning to other pro-Russian, Antimaidan protesters. The Ukrainian military campaign in the Donbass was to be the second stage of the Maidan bloody response, and Crimea was to come third… but something did not go as planned…
It is 6 years since the tragedy in Odessa. “The birth of the Ukrainian nation” -this is how nationally conscious EuroUKRS describe the event. That only proves Ukrainism is monstrous…
Apart from Ruslan Shavetdinnov, whose case has been widely reported by the likes of the Washington funded RFE/RL, the rest of the individuals I have covered are low level activists really. This time, I discovered the brother and husband of Lyubov Sobol, the Moscow resident activist, and close Navalny comrade.
The information is now relatively dated, it actually comes from 2016 but it has resurfaced recently, and it is worth reposing here because it adds to the series I was running.
It turns out, the brother of Lyubov Sobol, Grigory Musatov took active part in the Euromaidan.
The grinning twerp on the right is Grigory Musatov…
…
A rare sight, the Hrushevsky street is without Molotow cocktails. What a mess!
Her husband, Sergey Mokhov is not far off:
Here Mokhov shows support for the neonazi Azov Battalion…
The following is why Russophobia is dangerous. If you eek out a response from them, you get a glimpse of what Russophobes actually believe. A hodgepodge of anti-Russian myths…
The Nazis have liberated the Ukrainians from Russian genocide. But to us there isn’t any difference between a Nazi officer or the Soviet Communist officer, both are occupation regimes. (translation from Czech)
The myth of Ukrainian genocide, DONE BY THE RUSSIANS, seems to have taken root among the Russophobic creeps. It does not strike them that Stalin and Lazar Kaganivich were not Russians. And here is why the Russians should never and will never apologise or atone for USSR and socialism.
You see the West has a little bit of a problem. In 2014, the West supported a violent coup d’état by the hands of radical nationalists. The new regime in Ukraine employed literal Neonazis to repress the pro-Russian segment of the Ukrainian society. The war in Eastern Ukraine attracted people from around the World, who belong to the Neonazi international. Ukraine has become a bit of an Afghanistan of Neonaziism, and from time to time, the West suffers a blowback in the form of far right terrorism.
At the end of the day, the Western elites don’t bother about few “aroused hotheads”. The Neonazis in Ukraine perform a valuable function of driving underground whatever pro-Russian sentiment there is.
Hence, we see articles such as this one. On the pages of the Atlantic Council, Anton Shekhovtsov tries to say that the battalion Azov is not really Neonazi because they are an official military unit and have more recently formed a civilian wing.
Shekhovtsov bills himself as an expert on far right movements and last I heard, he was residing in Norway. Nevertheless, he has some interesting past. Turns out he was an Eurasianist:
Back in the mid-2000s, he was involved with the International Eurasian Movement’s youth wing in Crimea, when it was part of Ukraine. Known as the “Eurasian Youth Union” (ECM in Russian), it’s a right-wing organization which believes in a “Greater Russia” and largely follows the teachings of the aforementioned Dugin.
It would seem Anton has followed the path of many far right Ukrainians from the Eastern regions. There was clearly more money in being a Western NGO employee, and working for the West and the Ukrainian powers that be. Remember, the leader of Azov, Biletsky once called for the creation of a union with Russia. And then he was bought by Avakov and now is singing a different tune.
Well, this Shekhovtsov character appears to have an even darker side. In 2014 he was among those that cheered the death of people, who were burned alive in Odessa on 2 May. He called them vermin…
Here is a closeup:
He calls the RT article about him “a slander”…
This Shekhovtsov guy is a sleaze, who can’t own up to his past, cheers the deaths of people killed in Odessa on 2 May 2014, and makes apologetics for Neonaziism…
