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.
