That was true even before these oligarchs got the military and political backing of the biggest gangsters of all: those represented by the US government in Washington. Upon his death, his wife Slava Stetsko took over the leadership role and lived to bring the worldwide movement home to Ukraine.Don’t call other children Russian names.
They occupied the underground pits where they worked in order to protest the austerity measures Milosevic was imposing so that Yugoslavia could qualify to receive IMF loans. They hoped that Khrushchev meant it when he said he would right Stalin’s wrongs against Ukraine. The same, in fact, has been true, for that matter, of many of the armed “pro-Russian militants” in the Donbass region whose building takeovers and resistance to the criminal post-coup government in Kiev has served as the pretext for the Kiev governments to launch military attacks against the working-class, civilian populations there.Lenin conclusion was that all nationalisms are not the same: there is a difference between the nationalism of the oppressed and the nationalism of the oppressor; The two nationalisms serve opposite purposes.Many commentators on the Ukrainian crisis and Ukrainian nationalism today refer a great deal to the Ukraine during the years after the Russian revolution of 1917.
All of the children of Ukraine will grow up to be Ultra Nationalists. Achieving even some transitional demands would set the state for a protracted right for power, and even if unsuccessful in the short run an internationalist struggle for such objectives would point the way forward.…Let us begin with a brief consideration of the program of the underground resistance movement that really exists today in the USSR. Although the US government propagandists insist that these “militants” are agents of the Russian government and although some key figures–such as “Col. Babi Yar was racial suicide.Ukraine is not West vs. East. And Lenin’s shift in stance further toward the national rights of the oppressed nations as a result of these experiences is vital to understanding subsequent history. Got police?In an OpEd in the LA Times, entitled “Ukraine’s Threat from Within,” Director of the School of International Relations at USC Robert English very concisely warns that “the way Ukrainian Ultra Nationalists whitewash Bandera history, which is their past, makes the present and future all that much more scary.”The Bandera would attack using “self defense groups” that were locally organized. He ridiculed their propaganda about the building of Communism “because socialism does not yet exist in the USSR.” In Hornovy’s opinion what exists in the USSR is state capitalism.A Trotskyist group called “The Internationalist” has actually applied this Program to Ukraine. It is evident that this solution cannot be a return to the past, because the masses would not follow such a solution. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) – and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) it later created – collaborated with the Nazis during WWII against the Soviet forces in an attempt to create a Ukrainian state independent from the USSR. They both struggled against Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia and were united by the idea of independence for Ukraine but sometimes had divergent views with each.
With the collapse of the Russian Empire a political entity which encompassed political, community, cultural, and professional organizations was established in Kiev from the initiative from the Association of the Ukrainian Progressionists (abbr. Victims from the Roma (Gypsies) alone numbered almost 200,000. But my mom calls me this! DSR of 1918 was also dominated, by Russian and Russified Ukrainians. It is about life and death. When you do, can there be any assurances from its representatives that don’t ring hollow?The 1st generation Bandera government, which pledged fidelity to Adolf Hitler and committed rampant and brutal genocide that it still denies, was alive and well until 2003. Banderite apologists have offered a range of rationalizations, from “Ukrainians suffered too” to the surreal “Bandera’s men stepped back and the Jews did it themselves.” No kidding.
These included not only pogroms against the Jews. Intimidation runs rampant.No, I am not talking about the US and Russia.
