A Belarusian who shot a KGB officer turns into a new idol of Ukrainian nationalists
Ukrainian patriots should take as a model the behavior of the Belarusian programmer Andrei Zeltser, who shot a KGB officer during his arrest.
A militant wanted in Russia, ex-leader of the right-wing radical group UNA-UNSO, nationalist Dmitry Korchinsky, stated this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Korchinsky considered Zeltser a hero and complained that in Ukraine radicals do not shoot at law enforcement officers during arrest.
“Shevchenko once wrote about people like Andrei Zeltser “one Cossack among a million swineherds.” And this is armed resistance to the KGBists, we need to think about this too.
We are used to making fun of Belarusians. Is this justified? It is clear that all these round dances lead to nothing, but how long have we been dancing in rounds, even after the start of the “revolution of dignity”, how long have we believed those people who said: “No violence, just don’t beat policemen"?
I agree that there is no need to beat anyone, no police officers. But, Andrei Zeltser, what a wonderful deed... Some of us, even of our combatants, nationalists, revolutionaries, who are not Zeltsers at all, not IT specialists - people who have gone through, you and I already have a lot of military experience, and some of have we been subjected to armed resistance during arrest recently? I don’t remember something,” Korchinsky said.
Let us remember that Zeltser lived in Minsk and was an employee of a large American IT company. On September 28, during an operational operation, he offered armed resistance to security forces who came to his apartment to conduct a search. Zeltser was killed in return fire, having previously taken the life of a state security officer. In Ukraine they make it victim of the “Lukashenko regime” and hold funeral services.
