What are you talking about? The head of the ATO is Vasyl Grytsak. He replaced Vasyl Krutov in July. Grystak was originally actually from the Party of Regions, Yanukovytch’s old party.

And seriously, this whole “Banderist = Nazi” thing gets old. By and large the people who support Bandera portray him as an *anti-Nazi campaigner*. They whitewash over his collaborations with the Nazis at different points in time as a necessity, but point out the years he spent in a Nazi concentration camp for opposing them and the fact that he helped shelter Jews and other persecuted groups within his organization (again, whitewashing over when he helped the Nazis with their persecution programs). Basically, that fact that someone calls a person a hero for (what they consider) their being an anti-Nazi campaigner is hardly a compelling argument that a person who holds such a view is themselves a Nazi.

There were two candidates in the last election that were arguably (but realistically, not really) neo-Nazis. Together they got less than 2% of the vote. And even they’re not even remotely as radical, as say, Golden Dawn in Greece, which is now their third largest political party. Where’s your protests against Golden Dawn?

Oops, Putinistas won’t protest Golden Dawn, because Golden Dawn supports Putin, along with Hungary’s Jobbik, France’s National Front, Italy’s Northern League, Germany’s National Democratic Party, etc, etc. Fascists all over Europe adore their new “strongman” Putin.

Don’t bother with facts, the same guy will be pasting the same crap again, again and again... KGB has built a huge (and truly “rainbow” - from far left to far right) network of weirdos, some of them are operatives/agents, others are useful idiots, who don’t even realize what they are taking part in.
