Oleksandr Muzychko, an ultra-nationalist member of Ukraine’s recent protests who was wanted in Russia for alleged war crimes, was shot dead late Monday in the western Ukrainian city of Rivne, according to reports by Russian news outlets, RT and Interfax.

There were conflicting accounts of what happened to the man also known as Sashko Biliy.

According to Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Doniy, writing in a Facebook update, unknown assailants cut off Muzychko’s car just before midnight, bringing it to a halt. Muzychko, a bald bear of a man who led the ultra-nationalist group Right Sector, was dragged out of the car, cuffed, and shot twice in the chest.

“Those who killed him made sure that he was not wearing a bulletproof vest and then shot him in the heart,” said Right Sector activist Yaroslav Hranitskiy, reports the Moscow Times.

Interfax, the Russian news agency, said Muzychko opened fire on law enforcement officers.

RT, quoted Ukrainian First Deputy Interior Minister Vladimir Yevdokimov saying that the “operation to arrest him took place in a village where the militant leader and three of his bodyguards, all of them armed, were in a local restaurant, called ‘The Three Crucians.’

Notorious leader of Ukraine’s protests shot dead. Circumstances are in dispute.

The title "leader of...protests" suggests that Oleksandr Muzychko had a big following.

He didn't.

the militant leader and three of his bodyguards, all of them armed, were in a local restaurant, called ‘The Three Crucians.’

Well, at least the resturant wasn’t called the
“Rosey Crucians” or we’d never hear the end of it.

These ultra-nationalists are going to learn pretty quick that Ukraine now belongs to the Globalists and that the Globalists don’t like nationalists at all.


The “nationalist” factor in the Ukraine putsch surfaced and is creating a lot of bad press for the IMF’s little bundle of joy. These are the Nazi tweakers who opened up on their own protesters with sniper fire to create bloody shirt awareness amongst the Ukranian “Arab Spring” sock puppets. Only 8 countries left on the planet that don’t owe their yarbles to the IMF, World Bank, BIS, City of London, etc. We either wake up to this globalist financial Nazi oligarch “invisible hand” or our toe tag will read “Death by Stupidity”
