Ukraine party accused of anti-Semitism receives top positions in new government
Daily Caller ^ | 1/27/14 | Scott Greer

As the fires die down from the turmoil in Kiev, a political party that has been accused of promoting anti-Semitism and xenophobia is set to reap the benefits of the new government arrangement.

The Svoboda Party will take control of not one, but three ministries in the interim government.

These posts include the deputy prime minister and the heads of the agriculture and environmental ministries. In addition to these positions, a Svoboda lawmaker was appointed the new prosecutor general in the interim government.

Svoboda’s leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, is one of the leading opposition figures during the recent crisis in Ukraine and met with Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain when the former presidential candidate visited the tumultuous country last December.

Tyahnybok and other party leaders have been accused of making numerous anti-Semitic and racist remarks. In 2004, Tyahnybok urged his party in a televised speech to fight “the Moscow-Jewish mafia ruling Ukraine.”

In 2012, deputy party leader Ihor Miroshnychenko called actress Mila Kunis, who was born in the Ukraine, a “dirty Jewess,” which instantly drew international condemnation. Another party official, Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn founded a think tank called the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Centre, which was named as a tribute to the notorious Nazi propaganda minister.

Even the founding name and original name of Svoboda bear an eerie resemblance to the Nazis. They were founded as the Social National Party of Ukraine and adopted the “wolfsangel” rune as their party logo, which was also a symbol used by Waffen-SS divisions in World War II and is a popular icon among neo-Nazis.

“that’s irrelevant to Svoboda followers. Mychalchyshyn said: “We are against diversity.” In his writings, he says, “We consider tolerance a crime.”

The young ideologue promises a parliament composed of Ukrainians voted for by Ukrainians. Minorities will be given seats based on their proportion of the population. But they won’t be able to vote. His supporters also like his promise to get Ukraine’s nuclear weapons back. When the Soviet Union collapsed the nuclear weapons based in Ukraine were returned to Russia or were decommissioned. “It’s a mentality,” said Mridula Ghosh, a sociologist who works for the East European Development Institute in Kiev. “Svoboda is anti-immigrant, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic”

I think those “Holocaust/Soros/EU obsessives” live in a la-la land where they forget that peoples and nations (including ours) have long relied on hard men and not angels to keep their people free.

Sasha Beliy - a Ukrainian gangster and a lieutenant of Dimitri Yarosh - a Maidan protest leader. Here he is attending a session of Rovno regional parliament. Note AK and knives he is using to back his ‘advice’ to vote for a free housing for ‘Maidan heroes’ and to criminalize Communist party and Party of Regions:

This same person again visiting a district attorney. Note how he is using necktie to suffocate attorney and beats his deputy in a face:

Sasha is ‘famous’ for traveling into Chechnya to fight along terrorists. He is advocating ‘Greater Ukraine’ expanding further into mainland Russia and Poland, including killing local Polish and Russian population ‘to make sure no Jews left alive anywhere near’.

I guess Ukies are now happy with their protests. These are guys running the show now.

“So why did Bandera and Crew go after Poles, who hated Communists even more than they did?”

Because they believed the Poles were living in their country and were a constant hindrance to an independent Ukraine. Check the map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nationalities_in_Second_Polish_Republic_ca._1931.png
