Why is Russian President Putin talking about “denazifying” Ukraine? It is necessary to reconstruct the last ten years of the history of that country to understand how politics, shows and military formations of Kiev have been assembled, step by step, towards a unique project, a project that feeds on Nazi fanaticism. It is a true story, which even the Western media have told in the past but today they brand it as fake news. Oligarchs, showmen and military leaders have brought the Ukrainian people under a government that is openly inspired by National Socialist dogma.

First of all, a step back in history: during the Second World War the Nazis and the Ukrainian Nazi gangs of Stepan Bandera killed 1.6 million Jews. Today Stepan Bandera is celebrated in Ukraine as a national hero. The Nazi-inspired military formations are part of the Ukrainian National Army and their pennants often depict the face of Stepan Bandera. As the Wiesental center noted, from the end of the Second World War to the present day, not one of the Ukrainian Nazi war criminals has ever been prosecuted.

2011, Burisma Group

Since 2011, the match between Kiev and Washington has been played on oil, gas and dollars. Burisma Group, a Ukrainian energy company, keeps a low profile. Burisma is an oil and gas company that has been operating on the Ukrainian market since 2002. The head office is located in Limassol, Cyprus. The company holds 20 licenses for hydrocarbon production in all major Ukrainian oil and gas basins. This company was founded by Mykola Zlochevsky who sold Burisma to Igor Kolomoisky’s Privatbank group in 2011. In April 2014, Hunter Biden, son of the current US president, joins the Burisma board of directors. Biden Jr, who doesn’t speak a single word of Ukrainian and has no idea about the oil business, is guaranteed a salary of $ 50,000 a month. As of April 2014, Burisma’s board of directors was made up of at least 6 members: 2 Ukrainians and 3 Americans 1 Polish. Anzelika Pasenidou and Riginos Kharalambus directly represented Kolomoisky. The others were David Apter, Devon Archer and Hunter Biden, the youngest son of then US Vice President Joe Biden. Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board in April 2014. Peter Flaherty, president of the National Legal and Policy Center, (NLPC) a US government oversight group said, “Even though there was no conspiracy or coordination between the two, Hunter Biden was clearly in Kolomoisky’s network ”. Ukraine’s Attorney General Viktor Shokin will open an investigation into Burisma’s accounts and salaries paid to the board of directors. At an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York in 2018, Biden seemed to boast about it, saying that during a visit to Kyiv – likely in December 2015 – he told Ukrainian officials: “We’re leaving in six hours . If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not getting the money. ” “Well, son of a bitch,” Biden continued. “He got fired.” Shokin was indeed fired, but not until March that year.

Another council member becomes Aleksander Kwasniewski, former president of Poland. Under his presidency, Poland first joined NATO in 1999 and then joined the European Union (EU) in 2004. Former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski acknowledged in 2014 that his country left the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA ) of the United States operated a secret prison on its territory after 9/11. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in July 2014 that Poland had allowed the CIA to torture al-Qaeda suspects in a secret detention center in 2002 and 2003, when Kwasniewski was president.

Albania, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, the Baltic States have already joined NATO. Russia is surrounded.

“I created a foundation in Ukraine before the country became independent from Russia. This foundation has continued to operate and has played an important role in recent events, ”Soros explained.

The role of the Azov Battalion

The unit was formally founded by Andriy Biletsky in May 2014.

In 2010, Biletsky claimed that Ukraine’s national purpose was “to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semitic-led Untermenschen [the lesser races].” The Azov Battalion is the only neo-Nazi-inspired military unit framed in a regular army in the world.
