One of the first articles I ever wrote was about Diana Vynohradova (née Kamlyuk), “a sieg‐heiling neo‐Nazi decorated with white supremacist tattoos.” Zelensky awarded Vynohradova, a leading member of Right Sector, the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, which was created in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the defeat of [the Third Reich] in World War II.

On the third day of “Euromaidan” protests that began in November 2013, Vynohradova “warned” Ukrainians “not to give in to supplications from the [insert slur here].” According to Zaborona, a Ukrainian media outlet,

In the early 2000s, Kamlyuk and a group of friends attacked a Nigerian citizen, kicked him, and her friend stabbed him with a knife. The Nigerian died of his injuries. When asked about the reasons for the attack, Diana’s friend replied: “I don’t like [insert slur here].”

Kamlyuk was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. Behind bars, she wrote poems for [a neofascist band], and when she was released from prison, she recited an anti‐Semitic poem on the Maidan stage.

The Volunteer Ukrainian Corps (DUK), the paramilitary wing of Right Sector, formed a brigade in the Ukrainian army last year. The 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade “DUK” is now the military wing of the neofascist Right Sector. On March 14, Zelensky awarded over a hundred people from this far‐right brigade, so we are just scratching the surface.

Events that happened today (July 30):

1863: Henry Ford, the bourgeois fascist who inspired Adolf Schicklgruber, marketed vehicles to the Third Reich, and received an Iron Cross for his services, darkened the Earth with his presence.
1920: Walter Schuck, Axis lieutenant and aviator, was born.
1945: The Axis submarine I‐58 sunk the USS Indianapolis, causing 883 casualties. Most died during the following four days, until an aircraft noticed the survivors.
1997: Bảo Đại, Axis collaborator and Vietnam’s final emperor, perished.
2013: Berthold Beitz, a moderate fascist and industrialist (who shielded several hundred Jews from early death), expired.

    The “handful of nazis” have such a high degree of political control over ukrainian politics that they were able to pass such laws of banning the russian language, glorify Bandera and other nazi criminals of the times of WW2 and launch a genocidal operation deemed as “anti-terrorist” from 2014 against the Donbass republics that rose up against the Kiev putschists. The whole of the top brass of their armed forces are nazis that never shy away of being photographed with nazi organizers and insignias. Their best trained and armed battalions and units are filled with Hitler-loving nazis like Aidar, Kraken, Azov, etc. This “handful of nazis” direct the political and ideological life of Ukraine, terrorizing a population that wants to live in peace to the point many of them rose in arms against that in 2014. If we only see the DPR and LPR today is because after the coup in Kiev other republics and anti fascist movements in places like Odessa and Kharkov were quickly destroyed with tremendous violence. Only Donetsk and Luhansk survived the criminal war launched against them in 2015 and were on the brink of inflicting a decisive defeat to the NATO backed forces of Kiev. Which was only prevented by the Minsk accords, in which Russia gladly participated lest they were involved in a war from the get go.

    Even more, if the incorporation of the Donbass into Russia is illegitimate, then the regime in Kiev is double or triple illegitimate, since even years before the fall of the Soviet Union the peoples of Crimea and the Donbass voted to separate from, first, the Ukrainian SSR and then after 1991 the Republic of Ukraine. Moreover, Zelensky himself has passed anti worker, anti democracy and anti freedom of speech laws since before even the escalation of 2022, thus completing the sell of what’s left of a once prosperous Ukraine to western corporations in what can only be called fascism. The real and most important issues of Ukraine are in both the fascist puppets in Kiev and their masters in Washington and Wall Street.
