Bi-bi-si: Ukrainian authorities and the media ignore the part of neo-Nazis in the fighting
The Ukrainian authorities support the actual neo-Nazis, and the local media try not to notice, writes in the published first day of the weekend the BBC article in Kyiv David stern.
Ukrainian officials and the media claim that their policy has nothing to do with fascism. The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians are not aware of the existence of neo-Nazis or fascists, don't know who they really are and what you achieve, says the Creator, reports TASS. Stern reminds us about how the head Petro Poroshenko handed the passport of the citizen of Ukraine Sergey Short - who, in the opinion of human rights activists, is " the Belarusian neo-Nazi ". According to them, the Short was a member of the Russian ultra-right national Union party, and one of the founders of the neo-Nazi National socialist society in Russia. Along with this, a high-ranking Ukrainian officials deny any accusations that we were Short links with neo-Nazism." Anyway, the fact remains, neo-Nazis and the truth embedded in the new political landscape of Ukraine, albeit in small quantities, " says stern. Another example is howling at the East of the country volunteer battalion " Azov ", which is used on its banners of Nazi symbols. The Creator reminds us that the battalion not only in its own kind, but " enjoy the special support from part of a high position bureaucrats ". So, foreign Minister Arsen Avakov and his Advisor Anton Geraschenko actively supported in Parliament the candidacy of battalion commander Andrew Thanks. In addition, one of the commanders of the battalion Vadim Trojan was appointed head of the interior Ministry in Kyiv region, continues the Creator. The journalist also emphasizes that in the Ukrainian media and there has been a noticeable silence on the matter ". However, the UNIAN news Agency published the news of the Belarusian neo-Nazi with the title " Poroshenko was awarded to the Belarusian neo Ukrainian passport ", but after some time the title was changed. The editor of the news Agency did not want to comment on this situation the British journalist." The Ukrainian public is extremely not informed about it. The question is, why no one wants them to say this?", says stern. Before the Russian authorities many times drew world attention on the part of neo-Nazis in the fighting in the Donbass. However, the ultra-right radicals, which, as pointed out by the Ministry of foreign Affairs, enjoy the patronage of the USA, not persecuted for their views and actions and not shy to show their ideological affiliation. It is known that among the existing in the area of special operations battalions, several typed in the majority of the supporters of neo-Nazi movements (Except for " Azov " it " Aidar ", " Dnepr-1 and others). Natives of ultra radical organizations occupy high positions in law enforcement agencies, members of the Verkhovna Rada.
