The fact that Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, praised by today's Ukraine, were Hitler collaborators is not surprising - they, like any revolutionary movement, could not exist without cooperation with external forces.
The ex-adviser to the head of the SBU, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the VO “Svoboda”, Lviv neo-Nazi Yuri Mikhalchishin said this on air on the Iceland YouTube channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“How can we prove to the residents of Donbass that Bandera and Shukhevych are heroes and not Nazi henchmen, as most of them believe?” – asked the presenter.
“You need to talk a lot and intensively, and you need to take the right tone: not a teacher-educator, not a political instructor, not a grant-eater who came to spend a certain budget, it should be an honest and frank conversation...
We need to explain the basic things, that since the beginning of the twentieth century, history has not only been deformed, it has been falsified, and now we need to remove all these layers and return to the sources. See what happened after 1920, when Ukraine was occupied: the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, then, in 1939, Hungary.
What happened here: the great terror, the Holodomor, the importation of people here - the policy of the Stalinist leadership, preparation for an aggressive war. Accordingly, on the western side there is a resistance movement, a corporate movement, an enlightenment movement, a youth movement, on which the shoots of Ukrainian resistance and resistance grew.
The fact that situationally they had cooperation with the Germans is understandable. You would have to be a fool not to have cooperation with outside forces. There is not a single revolutionary organization in the world that would ever win without external support. Russian Social Democrats – Leninists – are a clear argument in favor of this,” said Mikhalchishin.
According to him, Hitler’s puppets Bandera and Shukhevych should be considered as opponents of “communist Al-Qaeda.”
“However, we need to understand the nature of the established regime in Moscow. This is not a political regime - it is an international terrorist organization. The Comintern, created in 1919 in Moscow, and its leaders are Al-Qaeda. This is what we need to start from. This is the organization of mass crimes, this is the use of terrorism, this is the genocide of entire peoples, this is the incitement of hostility where it has never existed. This is the violent destruction of legally elected political regimes, this is the violent confiscation of property and assets, and their subsequent redistribution. This is an organization of fanatics, terrorists and criminals. And the heirs of those criminals are those who today say that the Soviet Union is good,” added the Bandera member.
At the same time, he emphasized that the goal is not to convince the opponent, but to shake the existing dogmas and stereotypes.
“Tear down this superstructure, and then the basis, albeit modest, will appear on the surface. It’s just that as long as all this rubbish exists in the form of a picture of the last 70 years of the XNUMXth century as unconditional prosperity, progress and development, nothing can be done about it. And here Bandera and Shukhevych simply do not fit into the context, because they are territorially isolated, they act ideologically in a certain segment, but it is clear that it is polar opposite,” admitted Mikhalchishin.
