"...The 2nd of May, 2014, began as a day like any other. Although many had seen that in previous days, fascist thugs from the neo-Nazi group Right Sector, the neo-fascist party Svoboda as well as far-right football hooligans from outside the region had descended on Odessa. They continued to pour in on the morning of the 2nd.
By the afternoon, the fascist gangs started violently attacking the anti-fascist protesters. As the anti-fascists come under increasingly violent attacks, the peaceful protesters ran into the Trade Unions House, eventually barricading themselves inside for protection.
As the afternoon wore on, fascists were seen firing shots into the building and then they began to set the building on fire using a combination of Molotov cocktail and flaming debris.
As the fire raged, the fascists surrounded the front and back of the building, prohibiting escape. Many of the protesters, some in their mid-teens died of asphyxiation. Others jumped to their deaths.
Some who jumped and survived the initial fall were beaten to death. Others were tortured to the brink of death.
The authorities did nothing."...

Ukraine incorporated these “Nazis” into their military and gave them free reign to murder the people who would prefer to align with Russia.
I beg to disagree. There's about a dimes worth of difference between Communists and Fascists. They are just competing teams in the same league. A murderous thug is a murderous thug.
The 2014 overthrow of the democratically elected government of the Ukraine was orchestrated by global oligarchs in league with western European governments. (Aided by radical globalists in the Obama administration)
This “Euromaidan” coup was opposed heavily in the eastern and southern parts of the Ukraine which are now seeking reunification with the Russian Empire.
The Wikipedia article, although skewed heavily to a pro-globalist viewpoint, does concede that support the 20l4 coup d’etat was split along geographic and demographic lines.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan#Public_opinion_about_Euromaidan:
Anyone killing Russian invaders or their supporters is fine by me.
I believe Biden and his cabal were already deeply involved in ripping off the Ukes at this time.
Plenty of nastiness from both sides, as well as Russia trying to foment unrest within Ukraine. Here is a taste of the reporting:
"Reports about the precise sequence of events that followed vary between different sources, including several confirmed fake reports being spread through social networks.[76] While defending the building, militants on the roof tossed rocks and petrol bombs at the protesters below.[40][43][56][77] A report by the Ukrainian Independent Information Agency (UNIAN) said that the pro-Maidan crowd began to throw petrol bombs into the building after having been fired upon by the pro-Russian group.[78] BBC News said that the situation was unclear, with multiple sources indicating that both sides had been throwing petrol bombs at each other. One eyewitness told the BBC that the fire started on the third floor when a petrol bomb was thrown at a closed window from inside the building, and the Kyiv Post reported that several flaming bottles held by Ukrainian unity activists outside were thrown into the front entrance, and through the windows on the second and fourth floors.[40][51][56] An official investigation conducted by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry stated that while no firearms were found inside the building, those on the roof were shooting at the crowd below, and accidentally set the building on fire whilst throwing petrol bombs from above.[79][80] One of the pro-Maidan protesters who was shot (non-fatally) by a sniper from the trade unions building was Andrey Krasilnikov, a Russian citizen and Euromaidan activist.[68]"
...yea, but they were Russians, so all is good. Right?
This version ignores Russian interference in previous elections.
And, the co-founder of the neo-fascist party Svoboda, who was involved in this massacre, Andriy Parubiya, later became the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament.
“There’s about a dimes worth of difference between Communists and Fascists. They are just competing teams in the same league. A murderous thug is a murderous thug.”
In tactics, they are virtually indistinguishable. The main difference between communists and fascists is that communists subscribe to INTERNATIONAL socialism, and fascists subscribe to NATIONAL socialism.
Yep.
Our Ukrainian friends. Animals!
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Promoting neo-Nazis overseas
No less important is the role of neo-Nazis and other right-wing figures in Russia’s onslaught against Ukraine.
In 2014, RO’s Aleksandr Matyushin helped to terrorise supporters of the Ukrainian state in Donetsk on the eve of Russia’s proxy war in eastern Ukraine. He went on to become a major field commander.
Yeah.
Exactly. We learned in one of my political science classes that once you get fascists and communists together, the only difference is their hatred of each other because they are threats to each others power base. Their policies are identical in many ways.
Lots of pro Russian comments here today.

One of the most feared and radical Russian paramilitary groups may have slipped up on social media and revealed its plans to return undercover to Ukraine, where it was accused of committing war crimes during a previous incursion.
Task Force Rusich, a Russian mercenary unit which glories in its neo-Nazi reputation, became known for its brutality when it was first deployed to the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine during peak fighting between Russian separatist forces and the Ukrainian military in the summer of 2014.
Now it seems Rusich has set its sights on the strategically important north-eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. That could mean the Wagner Group—which counts Rusich among its network of off-the-books fighting cadres posted all over the world—will be well-positioned for the opening salvo in what some fear may be the prelude to an all-out war between Russia and Ukraine.
The Pentagon says it has intel suggesting Russia plans to position a group of covert operatives inside Ukraine to conduct false-flag operations as a pretext for invasion. These public claims have rightly set Washington, Kyiv, and the rest of the world on edge with tensions mounting over the 100,000-plus Russian troops now massing near Ukraine’s borders with Russia and Belarus.
The Wagner Group—which the U.S. believes is run by one of President Vladimir Putin’s closest oligarch friends, Yevgeny Prigozhin—is not officially acknowledged as part of the Russian military apparatus, and the Kremlin says it doesn’t know anything about its operations around the world. In many cases, the quasi-private military units are sent to conflict zones where Putin wants to maintain plausible deniability.
Just trying to clear up some disinformation. Russia doesn’t have clean hands in any of this. Russia has the largest neo-Nazi organizations in the world. If that hurts your feeelings, so sorry
