One of the first articles I ever wrote was about Diana Vynohradova (née Kamlyuk), “a sieg‐heiling neo‐Nazi decorated with white supremacist tattoos.” Zelensky awarded Vynohradova, a leading member of Right Sector, the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, which was created in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the defeat of [the Third Reich] in World War II.
On the third day of “Euromaidan” protests that began in November 2013, Vynohradova “warned” Ukrainians “not to give in to supplications from the [insert slur here].” According to Zaborona, a Ukrainian media outlet,
In the early 2000s, Kamlyuk and a group of friends attacked a Nigerian citizen, kicked him, and her friend stabbed him with a knife. The Nigerian died of his injuries. When asked about the reasons for the attack, Diana’s friend replied: “I don’t like [insert slur here].”
Kamlyuk was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. Behind bars, she wrote poems for [a neofascist band], and when she was released from prison, she recited an anti‐Semitic poem on the Maidan stage.
The Volunteer Ukrainian Corps (DUK), the paramilitary wing of Right Sector, formed a brigade in the Ukrainian army last year. The 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade “DUK” is now the military wing of the neofascist Right Sector. On March 14, Zelensky awarded over a hundred people from this far‐right brigade, so we are just scratching the surface.

Events that happened today (July 30):
1863: Henry Ford, the bourgeois fascist who inspired Adolf Schicklgruber, marketed vehicles to the Third Reich, and received an Iron Cross for his services, darkened the Earth with his presence.
1920: Walter Schuck, Axis lieutenant and aviator, was born.
1945: The Axis submarine I‐58 sunk the USS Indianapolis, causing 883 casualties. Most died during the following four days, until an aircraft noticed the survivors.
1997: Bảo Đại, Axis collaborator and Vietnam’s final emperor, perished.
2013: Berthold Beitz, a moderate fascist and industrialist (who shielded several hundred Jews from early death), expired.
This is a difficult thing to oppose at the moment. I acknowledge that it's a nazi sympathizer which is dangerous, but dangerous people are who you need in a fight
What I haven't decided is which one is worse; the invading Russians or a handful of nazis that feel they need to fight to defend their homeland. It's probably not right for the compare and contrast, but the world isn't black and white. Prioritizing issues for The Ukraine should be paramount.
same vibe
I really wish you were wrong, but you're not if I'm going to be real with myself. The internal conflict I'm having is is it going to be the same thing. I know US just spites Russia by any means, but is it really worth it in the long. My belief of national freedom says yes, but I've been wrong before
We are socialists, who gives a shit about national freedom unless it’s anti-colonial or in defense of socialism
