Irina Farion gave voice to what her fellow fascists believe, who look down upon ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians, even those who consider themselves Ukrainian.
A Neo-Nazi with the nom de guerre “Ukrainian Autonomous Revolutionary Racist” (UARR) claimed credit for assassinating fellow fascist Irina Farion on 19 July. This ex-MP was an infamous “linguistic nationalist” who was investigated by the SBU for defaming the armed forces after claiming late last year that Russian-speaking members of the Azov Battalion aren’t real Ukrainians. Their video manifesto, which was reported on by Ukrainian media here and summarized here, sheds some light onto the motive.
The author condemned her as a “wrecker and racial traitor”, the first presumably in connection to her abovementioned scandal that inadvertently served to divide the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the second in response to her teaching Ukrainian to Africans, which they showed a clip of in their video. They also promised to “punish everyone who sold the country after the Maidan”, thus implying that she was one of those who they deemed guilty of this crime.
The UARR is allegedly connected to the “National Socialism/White Power” group, which the previously cited Ukrainian media report conspiratorially speculated is run by Russian intelligence. That’s a kooky theory though which is only being circulated to deflect from the fact that Ukrainian fascists just killed one of their own icons. It also builds upon GUR chief Kirill Budanov’s narrative that the culprits, which he strongly implied are linked in some way or another to Russia, “try to use any tools to divide our nation.”
The reality is that the Western-backed spree of urban terrorism and associated coup in early 2014, which are collectively known as “EuroMaidan”, were what irreparably divided Ukraine. The rise to power of fascist forces provoked the Crimeans into breaking away from Ukraine and reuniting with Russia, which was then followed by their ethnic Russian kin in Donbass. Ukraine’s substantial Russian minority that remained under Kiev’s control then lost a lot of their rights and began to live as second-class citizens.
Even though leading Ukrainian officials claimed in late November that no Russian minority exists in Ukraine anymore, and those that still do supposedly deserve to have their rights infringed upon, they’re still objectively present in the country in large numbers. The top state language official lamented in early July that many schoolchildren still speak Russian, while Le Monde reported in late February that front line soldiers do too, which the armed forces are now trying to change by giving them Ukrainian lessons.
While the majority of these troops were forcibly conscripted against their will, a few are volunteers, and it’s fitting to remember that the zeal of a convert is stronger than a born believer’s. What’s meant by this is that those Russians who decided to identify as Ukrainians instead of continuing to identify as Russians in Ukraine are predisposed to radicalism. Accordingly, it’s not surprising that some might have felt deeply offended by Farion’s attack against them, thus explaining why they wanted her dead.
An 18-year-old from Dnipropetrovsk named Vyacheslav Zinchenko was arrested Thursday afternoon, but it’s presently unclear whether he was the author of the UARR’s manifesto and if he acted entirely alone, not to mention whether he’s a native Russian speaker like his home region would suggest. The working theory as suggested thus far in this piece is that those behind Farion’s killing are Russian-speaking Ukrainians and/or ethnic Russians who consider themselves Ukrainians, which will now be elaborated.
The SBU understands the strategic importance of entertaining this radical minority’s delusions since they’re spun to allege that: Russians aren’t oppressed; they don’t even exist anymore after deciding to become Ukrainian; and some of those who made this choice now want to kill Russians. That’s why they decided to investigate Farion for what she said last November about how Russian-speaking members of the Azov Battalion supposedly aren’t real Ukrainians because that risked letting the cat out of the bag.
An average Ukrainian fascist would agree with what she said because they have an exclusive view of their ethno-national and linguistic identity, but a Russian that’s converted to it would disagree since they have a comparatively more inclusive view thereof. The first is the conventional understanding while the second is relatively new and has been weaponized since 2014 for recruiting Russians in Ukraine as cannon fodder for their cause by convincing them that Ukrainians are the so-called “real Russians”.
It's beyond the scope of this analysis to elaborate on their hateful ideology, but it basically claims that the inhabitants of modern-day Ukraine are the real heirs of the former Kievan Rus, not their fellow East Slavs who successfully regathered that lost polity’s lands over the centuries under Moscow’s leadership. Additionally, Ukrainian ultra-nationalists allege that they’re “pure Slavs”, while Russians (who they smear as “Muscovites”) are allegedly too mixed with Finns, Tatars, and other groups to still be considered Slavs.
Farion gave voice to what her fellow fascists believe, who look down upon ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians, even those who consider themselves Ukrainian. It’s therefore unlikely that one of her own ethno-linguistic kin killed her, with it being much more probable that those who fit the aforesaid criteria were responsible and 18-year-old Zinchenko is just their patsy. Such fascists are trying to be “more Ukrainian than the Ukrainians”, but they’ll only ever just be their cannon fodder against Russia.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The Ukies have Ukro Nazis embedded right up to the top. Do recall our own US Congress acknowledged that way back when they forbid US tax payers money going to Azov and the many Nazis embedded in their government.
With street names dedicated to Bandera and Bandera statues in every city tells it all.
“ KYIV — Across social media, Ukrainian police and law enforcement officials are apologizing for one officer’s slur aimed at far-right ultranationalists and making it known: They, too, are “#Banderites.” Or, to be clear, supporters of militant Ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.
National Police chief Serhiy Knyazev says he is one. So does Interior Ministry and National Police spokesman Artem Shevchenko. Interior Ministry adviser Zoryan Shkyryak is, too.
From the top on down, cops and their bosses are lining up to air their admiration for Stepan Bandera, a hero to many Ukrainians whose Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), fought both Soviet and Nazi forces during World War II but is also accused of carrying out murderous campaigns against Poles and Jews.”
Does it worry you that you won’t get paid anymore after Trump becomes president?
———-
No, it worries me the US has spent billions upon billions to a country that is infested with Neo- Nazis.
Because it's what Degenerate Globalist Uke Nazis do.
Nazis Gotta Nazi, and Uke Nazis are the Best Nazis American Taxpayer Dollars can Buy.
Exactly. That sick woman was so evil she taught her grandson to punch another kid in kindergarten because he said hello in Russian. She berated small school children in a class she visited because their first name was something Russian and not Ukrainianized. And no matter where you stand on the war, she was utterly berating and insulting Ukrainian soldiers who spoke Russian (as nearly all of the country did before 2014).
So she sits there in academia, insulting men fighting for HER side because they grew up speaking Russian. She slandered them and said they should be purged and expelled.
Even Azov and SBU were telling her to tone it down.
So she got whacked. Wasted her life on hate.
“(UPA), fought both Soviet and Nazi forces during World War II but is also accused of carrying out murderous campaigns against Poles and Jews”
“accused..” That’s some gaslighting there. It’s incontrovertible that they did genocidal campaigns against Poles and Jews.
I found that Russian-speaking Ukrainians are quite common.
There are laws against hiring non-citizens and the company I dealt with took the laws very seriously, unlike American employers.
Even Hitler got rid of his Nazi rivals during “The Night of the Long Knives.”
You can’t even tell what sources they are that are being posted here and they may not even be real sources. No the fascists are the Russians. Even if the ukes were Nazis do you think that that would be the reason Russia would invade? Only a fool would believe that or someone who reads Armstrong Economics which ends any real credibility as far as I am concerned.
I still say, make the Russians and Ukrainians take DNA tests to prove once and for all they are the same people.
The little dictator is next!
