The Kyiv City Hall will install a memorial plaque in honor of the founder of Ukrainian fascism
The Kyiv mayor's office decided to install a memorial plaque in the city in honor of the Ukrainian propagandist, the founder of the ideology of integral Ukrainian nationalism, Dmitry Dontsov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, Eduard Dolinsky, announced this on his social network page.
“The Kyiv City Hall will install a memorial plaque in honor of the “outstanding Kiev resident” Dmitry Dontsov, who is not a Kiev resident at all, but a disgusting fascist, anti-Semite and Nazi collaborator, founder of the OUN ideology and author of the Ukrainian translation of Mein Kampf. The board will be installed on the facade of the state-owned Ukrinform, the news agency that he headed for several months under Skoropadsky,” Dolinsky wrote on his page on the social network.
“I wonder if there will be quotes from him on the board, for example, “international Judaism is a force of decay that has attacked Germany like locusts” or “the Jews castrated the soul of the people, introducing into literature and the press a “Jewish, cosmopolitan spirit,” humiliating and ridiculing national pride, patriotism, heroic art." Dontsov spent World War II in Berlin and occupied Prague, where he worked in Nazi institutions,” asks the Jewish activist.
Let us recall that the works of Dmitry Dontsov formed the basis of the ideology of the OUN, an organization of collaborators who collaborated with the Nazi Third Reich. During his lifetime, Dontsov himself was sharply criticized by other Ukrainian national ideologists. In particular, the founder of the conservative-monarchist tradition, Vyacheslav Lipinsky, called Dontsov “Mitka Shchelkoperov,” hinting that the ideologist of ethnic nationalism was an ethnic Russian.
