Pff, what a bullshit. All this ukrainian-nazi-revolution topic is completely generated by the russian propaganda. The forces that started and carried out the revolution in their majority have nothing to do with the nazism. Couple of nationalistic organizations took part, and those organizations might have some sort of nazi wings or supporters, but none I've personally whitnessed or heard of. If such groups existed, they'd still be one small drop in an ocean, since hundreds of organizations and movements joined the revolution, from russian liberals to footbal fans from eastern Ukraine. The newly appointed governent also didn't do anything that could've been regarded as "nazi" so far. In fact, they've appointed this man
, a honorable head of the largest jewish organization in Ukraine and well known oligarch, as the governor of one of the largest and most profitable regions. Also, the collective of the popular revolutionary internet news and stream channel "HromadskeTV" was invited to broadcast their production on the only state TV channel in the country, and since the cold war with Russia started they're doing it daily. The frontman of the HromadkeTV is Mustafa Nayem, born in Afganistan, currently the most popular journalist in Ukraine. Sounds like typical decisions nazis would make, huh? Also, the revolution was rather international, as well as it's casualties. The first man shot down was the armenian guy living in Ukraine, the second one was a belorussian temporarily residing in Ukraine because of having been repressed at his homeland. At least one georgian died from a sniper, and, though I'm not sure if any russians died, I know for sure that many took part and many were beaten, including not only the local russians, but also people who travelled here from Russian Federation specifically to take part. Some of them explained themselves by claiming Russia will never be free and democratic if the revolution will be supressed in Ukraine.
Now, talking about nazism, you should probably know that the riot police that is now being praised by the russian government and propaganda, has been accused of nazism and antisemitism on many occasions. At the break of the street conflict some journalists got an access to the closed riot police "Berkut" squad social network community and discovered tonns of antisemit and nazi propaganda like this
or this
. The basic direction was that the opposition leaders are all jews and the revolution is carried out by the nazis and organized by the jews or masons from the western countries. The communities were deleted as soon as the press published screenshots and scandal grew large enough. Also, there were two or three cases when the local jews were attacked during the revolution, but two largest jewish organizations of Ukraine published their announcements, claiming that the assaults were almost surely carried out by the pro-governmental mercenaries, since the police refused to investigate them, even while one of them involved knife wounds. All mentioned cases happened before the revolution won. In addition, one of the mentioned organizations released another specific announcement, stating that antisemitis is not spread among the protestors and that the revolution shouldn't be regarded as nazi.
There are no problems with the public order aswell, at least not in Kiev. I am competely sure since I actually reside there. All public order problems were caused by the police and the small criminals, so called "titushki", that were hired by the people connected to our already ex-president specifically for the provocations and to simulate the public disorder. Many locals think their plan was to use that people for massive slaughter, which had to be used as a reason to introduce the military state, and military state would then be a reason to shoot the protestors down, shut down all TV channels but for one and turn off the internet. Hovewer, the provocations in Kiev failed twice because of the massive resistance by ordinary citizens. For a first time it was kind of surprise, but many reacted, rushing out of their homes in the middle of the night with baseball bats, axes and sometimes firearms, charging down the criminals and catching them. Two of my friends personally took part in the event and their group took seven prisoners, all of whom confessed they were paid for an action. The prisoners dropped bats, metalic staffs and knives, some had rubber shooters and drugs. The latter attempt failed even more. It was way more massive, but people were way more organized this time. Basically ,they used Zello aplication, created a channel for each city district, where hundreds and thousands of citizens were exchanging info. Some were forming groups and car crews to patrol the streets, other were setting an observation points from their windows and reporting any strange activity outside, which was later checked by the car crews that turned out to be nearby. It was basically a local, self-organized militia, and it saved the city from pro-governmental criminals, since the city police and the road police, which back then were still under control of the old government, were COMPLETELY removed from the streets. Thus the citizens had to do everything themselves, and they did, even up to creating block-posts and checking the documents and car content. This way hundreds of criminals were caught and either sent home or sent to police. It was also rumoured that our awesome ex-President didn't take care to pay all that criminals before he ran away, so they had no money to go back home or even feed themselves, which made them try to plunder and steal. I know exactly they were plundering in three districts and even were able to set one city market on fire, but later the local citizens formed and repelled them everywhere. After about three days of daily and nightly patrolling the city was as quiet and safe as never before. Personally I think this city should reduce the ammount of street police and launch some sort of a social programme of citizen militia instead, as it turned way more effective then the police itself.
The problems with the public order are still to be seen on the east, however, where the russians are trying to justify their about-to-happen armed invasion. Now, when I say "russians", I want you to understand me correctly. Unfortunately, in English one word" russians" is used for a bunch of things, while I mean a specific category of people - the Cremlin authorities. Basically, you can speak of ethnical russians in general ( русские), the citiizens of Russian Federation (россияне), and the ones who support the Kremlin politics (кремлевские). There's a large difference between three categories, since not all citizens of russian federation support the cremlin politics, and far not all russians support the cremlin politics and are the citizens of Russian federation. In fact, it lately turned out that a lot of local russians ( ethnic russians, living and Ukraine and being citizens of Ukraine) are actually supporting the revolution and the ukrainian national state, speaking out loud against any forms of russian military intervention. Many of them are even claiming that in case of the further agression they will join the ukrainian army to fight the russian forces back. In return, even the ukrainian nationalists are positioning themselves as being against the russian state and armed forces, but not against the local or foreign russians. This is a sort of a new thing, since previously many people feared the local ukrainian russians will all support the russian state and rise against us. Now this fear is gone for long and good.
In terms of separatism now. According to the poll, carried out previous year or at the beginning of this year, the ammount of people voting for separation of their provinces and adding them to the Russian Federation was over 10-15 per cents in only four regions out of 24. The highest rate of 40 per cents of votes was in Crimea, then there were Lugansk and Donetsk regions with smth between 30 and 20, Kharkiv with less then 20, the rest was 15-0 or so, mostly - 5 to 0. Crimea is quite a specific case, since Russia have always regarded it as the zone of their " special interests". Simplified, it means they need a harbour in Sevastopol, since they do not have another military port of that class anywhere else in the Black sea. That is why they were always boosting the local separatism by the means of massive propaganda and russian agents activity. That wasn't difficult, since over 50 per cents of population of Crimea is of russian origin, and many are illegally having both ukrainian and russian citizenship. Basically, the whole area is under russian media screen, they broadcast maximun two or three ukrainian channels, with the rest being russian central channels known for the ammount and quality of daily propaganda. I've heard that since the beginning of the revolution the local government have closed an access to any channels that were more or less independant, so the people just didn't receive enough information. Currently, when the Crimea is completely occupied by russians, they receive even less, as well as we receive quite a few info on Crimea because the occupational forces wouldn't let most of the journalists and streamers in. Either way, you might also be interested to know that the person who has now self-proclaimed himself as a new Crimean prime-minister, is not the most popular politic around. His party took part in the latest local parliamentary elections, winning only four seats out of more then hundred total in the parliament. Most of the seats were won by the communists and ex-governing party, both using expremely pro-russian slogans and programmes to get massive support in that area. However, none of the communists or old government members seemed to have agreed with the russian plans of intervention, so the Kremlin had to find another politic that would agree for anything. That is how they picked the locat " prime minister", who is rumored to having been a bandit and criminal 15 years ago.
The scheme that was used in Crimea and is now being attempted in the Estern provinces is in fact simple. They first fake the local protests by hiring and bribing some people to take part, organized the provocations during the protests to show that the cituation is unpredictable and dangerous. Then they" elect" the new leader of a province, who immediately turns to Russia and asks for military assistance. In Crimea it went slightly wrong, since when the 2k of "protestors" showed up in front of the parliament, they were met by the way larger group of local Ukrainian state supporters and had to give ground. Apparently this is the reason russians had to use their army units to capture the parliament and other important buildings. I do hope that noone belives in completely equipped and armed men being the local " self-defence squads". I live in Kiev, a city with way more wealthier inhabitants, and I've seen the local squards of self defence, but they were never equipped that way. Neither they were all armed with AK-74 and PKM mashineguns. Anyways, two days ago, yesterday and today the same scenarios were attempted in a number of provinces of Eastern Ukraine, namely in Kharkiv, Donets, Lugansk. There were also two completely failed attempts in Kherson and Dniepropetrovsk on the South, where the separation supporters were so few against the Ukraine supporters that they didn't even try to provoke and disperced. In Kharkiv, Donetsk and Lugansk, however, the " protests" were much more serious, partly joined by the ordinary citizens supporting the position. In Kharkiv they broke in the local administration, protected by some peaceful pro-Ukraine protestors, and caused an outslaught, in which two pro-ukrainian protestors were beaten to death and much more people were badly injured. The russian flags were raised above the governmental buldings. It was later discovered that at least some of those people were from the neighbouring russian provinces, and the one raising the flag over Kharkiv government bulding turned out to be from Moscow - identified by comparing the pictures from the spot with a facebook profile pictures. Following the events, the people who proclaimed themselves "new governors" asked for russian support at least in Donetsk and Lugansk, which may now be used as a reason of intervention there. Russian TV propaganda claims people are being repressed and forced to escape in that provinces, which is completely false and makes no sence. Let me just say that the new government in Kiev didn't even change the local governors in that regions untill yesterday, with the new governors being the known local figures too. Appart from changing the governors and, possibly, changing the heads of local police, no other actions were performed in tha provinces, so it was even technically impossible to start " repressing" someone, not saying that nobody would actually do that. To prove the fact of repressions and massive ammount of fugitives the russian channel showed a video from the ukrainian customs station, that was later identified as the customs station on the western ukrainian border between Ukraine and Poland.
Overall, the european and world media and networks are now being filled with the russian propaganda to justify mr Putin's intervention to Ukraine, which, in fact, looks nazi itself and smells exactly like 1938 affair mr. Hitler performed. Both mrs claim their motivation being to protect their "brothers" from repressions in foreign states. If the invasion takes place, however, it will end up with massive casualties and guerilla warfare, since the majority of ukrainians and other nationalities living here, even regardless of wether they are supporting the latest revolution or not, are against the military invation and eager to fight back. I only wrote all this to make sure you won't be completely filled with the russian propaganda, as the previous posts gave me an impression many of you are. I'm neither a nationalists, nor a nazi, and I didn't even take part in the fighting part of the conflict, though I've been on almost every meeting before the street fighting started and helped with food, clothes and some cash afterwards, and I saw and heard quite a lot of things,and definitely more then you guys had, soI assure you you can believe me.
