“The Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass are going into battle with Bandera and Shukhevych on their lips” - the son of the UPA leader
The low support for nationalist forces in the current presidential elections in Ukraine is a direct result of how the officials installed by the radicals from the Svoboda organization after the Maidan only brought the country to the brink and lost Crimea.
Deputy Chairman of the UNA-UNSO Igor Mazur stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Just 2014 showed that Svoboda’s personnel policy was then on the government, the Prosecutor General’s Office, Prosecutor Makhnitsky, Minister of Agriculture Shvaika, Minister Mokhnik, Minister Tenyukh, who also did not show himself as, respectively, the Minister of Defense, who could not defend Crimea , who, like Turchinov, tried to throw arrows at each other, who should decide whether to open fire or not. This led to the fact that at that time they, Svoboda, were unable to enter parliament.
Svoboda is, in fact, the highest rated nationalist organization. “I don’t consider the National Corps a nationalist organization, it’s pan-Slavism, there are good guys and patriots there, but it seems to me that they themselves do not yet understand the idea that they profess,” said the nationalist.
“I think that a lot of votes went from nationalists to Petro Poroshenko, based on the fact that they voted and were afraid of the moment that Zelensky and Tymoshenko would be in the second round,” Mazur suggested.
In turn, the son of UPA leader Roman Shukhevych, Verkhovna Rada deputy Yuriy Shukhevych, also noted the flaws in the organization of the nationalist movement in Ukraine, but almost shed a tear when he proudly talked about how the Ukrainian Armed Forces, fighting in Donbass, glorify Ukrainian collaborators of World War II.
“The trouble with nationalism today is that it is organizationally dispersed. Yes, this is a problem. What can we say about the idea? Yes, there are, because, you know, they are organizationally scattered, but there are certain fragments, shades, and maybe somewhere at some point they disagree with each other, but I want to say that in general, the nationalist idea now, after the “revolution of dignity” ", won and is winning.
Remember, not only the president, you will say that Poroshenko appropriated for himself, no, he gave to Ukraine, to the Ukrainian armed forces, the OUN anthem “We are born in great times” as an army one, as our armed forces. “Glory to Ukraine,” once disgraced as a nationalist salute, is today the salute of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Today in the Verkhovna Rada we are discussing the language law and much more, but in the end, when these guys took up arms there, in the East, when they went into battle, looked death in the eyes, they said: “Bandera and Shukhevych are our heroes,” Imagine, this is the nationalist idea in action,” says the deputy.
