In 2013, I heard protesters at the Maidan shout: “Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes!” I was naturally curious who are these heroes. Here they are…

I have collected these screenshots in the wake of the anniversary of the Odessa massacre of 2 May 2014…

The Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance does not shy from employing elements of historical invention in their work. It has to be remembered that the Odessan pro-Maidan crowd was unable to do anything about the Antimaidan protesters for many months, and the attack of 2 May was planned many weeks ahead and included help from other cities.


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…

Kulikovo Pole, Odessa, is the site of the House of the Trade Unions, where on 2 May 2014 neonazis burned alive around 50 people…

You may have been told neonazis in Ukraine are a fabulation of Russian propaganda but they have tanks…



Almost everyday I find yet another Ukraine link in the non-system opposition in Russia. This time at the very heart of the action. See my other recent posts, about Ruslan Shavetdinnov, Ilya Novikov, Kirill Naumov, and Vladimir Shipitsyn.
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.

Her husband, Sergey Mokhov is not far off:

The fight against symbols of the bolshevik regime does not always yield aesthetically pleasing results…


This was the Lenin of Mariupol, a city under Ukrainian occupation, where the Neonazi battalion “Azov” exercises authority.

Eddard Stark of Winterfell is about to execute the deserters of the Night’s Watch…
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 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.
The Ukrainian neonazi organization C14 has renamed itself to…
“Society of the Future” 😂😂😂
C14 likely took inspiration from the British C18. 14 is another number significant among the neonazis, it stands for the 14 words of David Lane:
“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,
It would not be the first time Western funded think tanks try to white wash Naziism in Ukraine..
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.
From RT
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…
Apparently, “Slava Ukrayini” all you need as an investor to feel at home in Ukraine. But little do you realise that this slogan comes with the “Roman salute”…
The entirety of the Ukrainian Breakfast can be watched here.
However, the slogan Honcharuk taught the audience in Davos has some rather dark history. I have covered the issue of this popular Ukrainian slogan before, so I will quote myself:
The slogan appeared in the 1930’s and was modelled on the German slogan: “Heil Hitler! Sieg Heil!” that is: “Hail Hitler! Hail Victory!”. In 1939, OUN made it official at a conference in Rome. It should be noted that the Italians, and the Croatians had similar slogans. The OUN were seeing themselves as a part of the fascist international. They were literally fascist and proud of it.
So let me get this straight, is Honcharuk taking a piss?
