20 years after the war, a monument was erected on the site of the Sobibor camp: a huge mound with windows through which its contents can be seen – the remains of the destroyed people. Human bones, hair, dentures… According to German documents, 250,000 people died on this land during the year and a half of Sobibor’s existence. According to Pechersky and his comrades, more than half a million.
Update on Russian operations in Ukraine for April 15, 2022:
1. Russian guided-missile cruiser Moskva sinks after a fire and explosion on board, Ukraine claims it was the result of “2 Neptune cruise missiles but provided no evidence;
2. The cruiser’s loss will have a minimum impact strategically;
3. Pentagon admits Russia is “shaping the battlefield;”
4. The US is sending weapons Ukraine is unfamiliar with, affording them only “days” of training when weeks or even months are required to use these systems effectively;
5. Ukraine is carrying out non-strategic attacks on Russian territory, resulting in Russia ramping up more aggressive target selection for Ukraine’s command and control.
The rabid hatred of such nationalists (who have been described variously as ultranationalists, neo-Nazis and sometimes by themselves as ‘Nazis’) toward Russian-speakers cannot possibly be exaggerated.
Between 2014 and 2015 thousands of Russian-speakers in the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine were killed through undirected mortar shell strikes on their apartment blocks, hospitals, schools, homes and urban streets. The current total of deaths stands at around 14,000. (Bear in mind that Donetsk and Lugansk were the regions surrounded by Ukrainian troops and militias made up of nationalists (who have since been incorporated into the Ukrainian army and National Guard) not a region in western Ukraine.
However, you will hear little to no mention of these soulless men and women in the western press or media. They are an inconvenient fact that does not fit within the current need to glorify everything on the Kiev regime side of the equation. Presumably, now that the symbols of these ultra-violent forces within the Ukrainian mainstream are even on sale as t-shirts and flags sold via Amazon they will also be welcomed with open arms into the unsuspecting European culture.
PEPE ESCOBAR—Banderastan ideologues profited from the Nazi arrival in 1941 to try to proclaim an independent territory. But Berlin not only blocked it but sent them to concentration camps. In 1944 though the Nazis changed tactics: they liberated the Banderanistas and manipulated them into anti-Russian hate, thus creating a destabilization force in the Ukrainian USSR.
So Nazism is not exactly the same as Banderastan fanatics: they are in fact competing ideologies. What happened since Maidan is that the CIA kept a laser focus on inciting Russian hatred by whatever fringe groups it could instrumentalize. So Ukraine is not a case of “white nationalism” – to put it mildly – but of anti-Russian Ukrainian nationalism, for all practical purposes manifested via Nazi-style salutes and Nazi-style symbols.
