Several nationalist organizations held a march dedicated to the anniversary of the battle between the UPR unit and the Red Army for the Kruty station near Kiev.
The procession was not large, there were about two hundred people, but a variety of forces took part in it, including the Patriot Party, UNA-UNSO, the Ukrainian Republican Party, and the Prosvita VUT, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the deputy chairman of UNA-UNSO Igor Mazur, holding such actions helps unite nationalist movements.
“More than 10 organizations are represented here. Such actions help us unite. We need to turn the situation around when Ukrainians are trying to break each other, trying to get over each other’s heads,” Mazur said.
The nationalists walked from the Arsenalnaya metro station to the monument to the heroes of Krut at the Askold’s grave, where they held a memorial service and a rally, at which the leaders of various organizations spoke.
Chairman of the VUT “Prosvita” Pavel Movchan emphasized that the participants in the battle of Kruty are an example to the current generation and stated that Ukraine should follow only its own interests and should not take into account the opinions of other countries.
“The enemy calculated using the Ukrainian language. When a Ukrainian was born, there was an auction. Everyone pinned their hopes on some kind of international agreements, like now - on the Minsk agreements, on some other crap that is associated with the assurance that we will live. Then, when, we know, Pilsudski disarmed Petliura’s army, when American money went to Trotsky and Lenin, these gangs armed themselves and went - this was the first war in the new format of Ukraine, which continues to this day. We should not forget these lessons,” Movchan said.
He supported the current president of Ukraine and his slogan “army-language-faith.”
“We are surrounded on all sides by all sorts of Nord Streams, we will remain with a rusty pipe if we listen to what they say in Brussels and other capitals. We must develop the principle: we defend ourselves. Finally, the president understood and therefore he wrote in his triad: “army, church.” But the third component – language – should come first,” concluded Movchan.
