“Democratic” torch march in Kiev
While the whole world celebrates the start of the new year, Ukraine glorifies nationalist and Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. On January 1, hundreds of Ukrainians traditionally marched with torches through the main streets of the capital and other cities in different regions in honor of the anniversary of Bandera’s birth.
According to the Ukrainian police, about 3.5 thousand citizens took part in the events on the occasion of honoring Bandera all around the country. It was noted that the public order was not violated during the marches.
The footage from Kiev shows people of all ages, carrying lighted torches and waving flags of the ‘Right Sector’ and other Ukrainian radical nationalist organizations. The nationalists were chanting slogans in support of Bandera. The march symbolically ended near the office of the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
Stepan Bandera is one of the ideologists of Ukrainian nationalism. During the Great Patriotic War he collaborated with Nazi Germany, until 1959 he headed the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), which fought against the Red Army. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (OUN-UPA), the militant wing of the OUN, committed numerous crimes, killing about 100 thousand Poles, Czechs, and Jews in Western Ukraine. Thousands of Ukrainians were also brutally killed for refusing to cooperate with the nationalists.
However, when the Germans occupied Lviv, Bandera evidently turned his back on his former terrorist group and began fighting against them, on behalf of the Nazis. He was soon arrested by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp.
In 2020, the CIA declassified a trove of documents describing the Ukrainian National hero and known Nazi – Stepan Bandera as a fascist and Hitler’s professional spy.
“On 30 June 1941, the Ukrainian fascist and Hitler’s professional spy, Stepan A. Bandera (according to his German appellation, “Consul II”), proclaimed in Lvov, then occupied by the Germans, the resurrection of the Ukrainian State in Western Ukraine. The same day a government was formed under the designation of the “State government” with Yaroslav Stetsko, Bandera’s deputy, as premier.”
Despite his very controversial personality, Stepan Bandera was chosen to become the new Ukrainian national hero.
As he was born on January 1, 1909, celebrations of his birthday have become disgusting New Year’s ritual in Ukraine in recent years, with thousands participating in Nazi-style torch-lit marches that include shouted protests against “Putin’s Russia” and rants such as, “Jews out!” which are heard by everyone except the police.
Former President Petro Poroshenko publicly identified himself as a Banderite after taking office in 2014 and officially added Bandera’s birthday to the list of Ukraine’s most important holidays. The then-President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko awarded to Bandera the title of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously), but it was officially annulled in one year.
Bandera was one of the most controversial Ukrainian leaders and his official rehabilitation was not well received in a number of countries, including Poland, the close ally of the current Kiev’s regime.
However, today in 2022, Israel is the only state to officially condemn the march of Ukrainian nationalists in honor of Stepan Bandera.
According to the message of the Israeli Embassy in Kiev on January 1: “Israel condemns the nationalist march in honor of Stepan Bandera. Glorification of those who supported the Nazi ideology desecrates the memory of the victims of the Holocaust in Ukraine. We demand a thorough investigation of the anti-Semitic manifestations that took place during the march, according to the law adopted in Ukraine in 2021,” it says.
This year, even such a quite voice from Israel was not officially supported by Warsaw or any other European country.
In its turn, Washington has recently openly declared its support to nationalistic movements and glorification of Nazism.
In December, the UN resolution against the glorification of Nazism that was presented by Russia to the United Nations was approved with 121 votes in favor, 53 abstentions and two votes against: United States and Ukraine.
Today’s torchlight procession in Kiev explains why Ukrainians are forced to forget about their great victory over fascism during the Second World War, and to honor traitors and bandits. The spread of aggressive nationalist ideas throughout the country is an important stage of the so-called “color revolutions” that have been staged in several post-Soviet states.
