There is a link to a video where a Ukrainian priest is giving a speech against Russians and others.
Many in Ukraine, not just in the Svoboda party, call Stepan Bandera a hero. But in May 1941 at a meeting in Krakow the leadership of Bandera’s OUN faction adopted the program which contained an order for the removal of Poles, Jews, and Russians via deportation from Ukraine. The Simon Wiesnthal Center expressed their “deepest revulsion at the recent honor awarded to Stepan Bandera, who collaborated with the Nazis in the early stages of World War II, and whose followers were linked to the murders of thousands of Jews and others."
Here is a BBC video on the Neo-Nazi threat in Ukraine.
That assumes they expected it to happen as a result. Clearly they didn’t expect Crimea to secede. Moreover, as hyper-nationalists, they benefit from antagonism with Russia and anything that gives an excuse for emergency measures as these expand their power and authority even further.
Or at the IMF.
And the West is supporting fascist extremists in Kiev’s new regime - a regime that has massacred its own people and citizens.
Are you saying States will sometimes tolerate and support neo-fascists and extremists in order to destabilize a country? Hmm.
Tell me your feelings about Putin.
Please read the article and the insightful comments following it.
I have been reluctant to post on this thread because of its volatile nature. But I would like to chime in as a person who has observed history since a child.
Anybody can post anything on YouTube, including Russian propagandists. After all, it was they who tried to convince the world (and succeeded with many) that Pope Pius XII was “Hitler’s Pope”.
Omigosh!

I don’t think so. Both Bush Jr. and Sr. were quite friendly with President Putin. In fact, President Bush and his wife went to Moscow and sat beside President Putin on Red Square during a May Day Parade. Relations were much better between Russia and the USA under President Bush.
So you think that the BBC is a tool of Russian propaganda? I don’t, and I don’t think many people would agree with your faulty analysis.
Obviously, the ultra-nationalist pro-maidan Ukrainian crowd and the Right Sector Group don’t want people in Eastern Ukraine to vote. According to what I have read, the spokesperson for the USA State Dept. has declared that it is illegal for people in Eastern Ukraine to vote. With their approval of rendition, torture and sexual humiliation of suspects and now declaring that is illegal for people to vote in a democratic referendum, is it any wonder that some people are beginning to doubt that the USA is the champion of human rights, as it claims to be?
These people (separatists) don’t consider themselves Ukrainian, hence, the hostile takeovers and the subsequent intervention of the army, moreover, the Ukraine has a right to protect those whom the Separatists are harming, i.e., these are not innocent protestors but armed and dangerous men who are kidnapping, torturing and killing people with the approval of Mother Russia. Here’s a list of those people that they have harmed (many of which occurred before the army intervened):
