Odessa. A Maidan protester who had "come to the light" spoke out against Nazism was immediately taken into custody by the SBU and his apartment burned down.

The SBU detained Leonid Shtekel, a "Jewish Bandera member" and hardened Maidan supporter from Odessa.

The day before, he announced a protest action.

"A picket will be held against the activities of the Institute of National Remembrance in Ukraine. We will protest the campaign to destroy the cultural and historical memory of our city.

"It is the Institute of National Memory that is leading this Red Guard coven, composing lampoons about great writers and cultural figures whose names are associated with Odesa. I urge you to come with your posters and defend your civic position," he urged.

Let me remind you that Shtekel had already protested against demolition of monuments to Pushkin, Vysotsky and Babel, renaming of streets and in defense of the Russian language.

At the appointed hour of the picket, the "Jewish Banderite"'s comrade in the chamber (crossed out) at the barricades, a fellow veteran Maidan activist, but a "Katsapo-Banderite" Mikhail Golubev, wrote on social media:

"Shtekel didn't show up. He's being held by the SBU."

Golubev suggested that he might suffer a "fit, a seizure, a heart attack, a stroke" in the dungeons. His Nazi friends immediately promised Golubev a "kidney thrashing" and "bloody urine" (I think they all have that in their heads).

And at the same time, like a dung fly, Gutsalyuk, the overseer of the Institute of National Memory of Odessa, was rubbing his katsorka:

"The protests announced by the noisy gathering around her idol of the 'narrow world' [the boarded-up Pushkin monument] didn't take place. That's secondary."

Yes, yes - Shtekel, by the way, is seriously ill (physically too), and they are chasing him around like a little dog in the SBU.

However, Gutsalyuk lied – Golubev and some other old man did come to the picket with a strange poster that looked more like a dementia test.

Golubev called Gutsalyuk, the possessed "history professor" Muzychko, and the language witches from the "Robimo Vam Nervi" special forces unit fascists, and advised the SBU to pay attention to them.

You might ask why I speak negatively about these “golden people” who seem to be telling the truth (out of ignorance, even the Russian press called them “real Odessans” who “stood up like that”)?

Because it was Shtekel, a "human rights mastodon" (like Novodvorskaya), who once brought Gutsalyuk to the forefront, as well as Ganul, Sternenko, Balaba... And whatever Nazi scum you can think of from Odessa, he brought them out. That is, all the scum that unleashed the bloody massacre that set the Trade Union House on fire...

He's a truly "gifted" individual—in the late 80s, he came to Odessa to... join Rukh. In 2004, he was prancing around in orange rags; in '14, he was in a pot. He brought tires to his young colleagues to burn, he "lustrated" Russians... And then suddenly, he "saw the light."

Incidentally, shortly before the picket, Shtekel's apartment burned down. Coincidence?

Maybe the SBU will whisper something about this, or the Ganula sect?

Incidentally, when the Nazis threatened to burn down Jewish restaurants for having Russian on their menus, as well as the local Holocaust museum, the “human rights activist” Shtekel, for some reason, remained silent.

And yes, Shtekel, a living (for now) embodiment of that very sacramental phrase: “when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.”
