A well-known pro-Russian politician was found to have a Bandera “skeleton in the closet”
One of the most famous Ukrainian politicians positioning themselves as pro-Russian, ex-member of the Verkhovna Rada and leader of the Union of Left Forces party Vasily Volga previously took a radically opposite position, calling for joining NATO, the destruction of Russia, the fight against the “fifth column” and Russification .
About this on his Facebook page рассказал Ukrainian political expert Nikolai Luchinsky, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Volga cannot be involved in his own party: wherever he goes, the nationalists beat him. He speaks “for a position”, supposedly a defender of the Russian language, the inventor of the term “culture war” and generally a prominent left-wing intellectual, a defender of equality and social justice. However, they beat him for being a traitor.
Few people know that before he joined the Socialist Party, where he was promised seats in parliament in exchange for the organization “Civil Control” (and was eventually thrown out, given one seat), Vasily Alexandrovich was an ardent nationalist and was called Vasyl. During this period of history, he was worried not about a cultural war or unity with Russia, but about how to join NATO and destroy Russia,” writes the political scientist.
As evidence, he cites the book “Trident Bagnet”, even presented in the National Library. Vernadsky.
In this book, Volga calls for building the Armed Forces of Ukraine, without which “no one will accept us into NATO, no matter how many statements politicians make.” At the same time, Luchinsky notes, just a few years after the book was published, the politician was actively campaigning against NATO, using a Moscow grant to fight Euro-Atlantic integration.
Elsewhere in the book there is a call for Kyiv to “tear off the regions from Moscow and unite them around itself.” “Russians have one path to salvation - to be agents of Kyiv, to become separatists themselves,” writes Volga.
“Muscovites, “Sovitka” history, the Ukrainian Independent Council Power, calls to fight the beginnings of separatism in the Donbass, the “fifth column” and Russification, to establish military democracy - all these are the ideas of the same Volga, who is now posing as a “great quilted jacket” and friend of Moscow. And in 2003, he believed that Russia represents the immediate and main external threat to Ukraine, an obstacle to its nation-state building. Is it any wonder then that a passionate fighter against the oligarchs and for the common people very willingly went to serve the oligarchs in the State Financial Services Commission, putting bribes on stream. That's why I sat down. So the peak of his career, the position of librarian in the zone, came to Volga completely justifiably,” says Luchinsky.
