Kick out the Banderist scum!
______________________________
Today, buried 9 minutes into the latest edition of the Channel 1 news report on Russian TV, was a 23-seconds-long statement by Latvian Human Rights investigator Enorst Gronych, who declared on camera that he interviewed the people of a village recently evacuated by the junta’s repression forces who told him about “repeated cases of gang rapes of minor girls aged 12, 13 and 14 years old” by Ukrainian thugs. According to Gronych, this kind of pattern falls within the definition of “genocide”.
In fact, Russian TV channels have also reported mass graves, numerous cases of civilians pulled out of their cars and summarily shot, mass graves of people shot with their hands tied in their back, and tortures, tortures, and more tortures… systematic beatings, branding with swastikas, knife wounds, broken bones, head trauma, damaged kidneys are all apparently what any detained person (regardless of the reason for their detention) should expect from the Junta’s “liberators”. Furthermore, it‘s now apparent that about 50 percent of the Novorossiyan “prisoners of war” which are being exchanged for Ukrainian POWs under the terms of the recent ceasefire agreement aren’t combatants at all, but civilians seized for the sole purpose of exchanging them. It isn’t hard to imagine what truly happened to the missing 50 percent… most of them were tortured and shot by drunken Ukrainian thugs (in stark contrast, Ukrainian POWs were treated, washed, fed, clothed, and then given the choice to say in Russia or go back to the Ukraine).
For anybody familiar with Ukrainian nationalism and Ukrainian nationalists, this is hardly surprising. Not only is that fully consistent with what happens in the rest of the junta-controlled Ukraine, it’s also consistent with the practise of Ukrainian nationalists of the times of Bandera and before. No, what’s amazing is the utter silence in the West about this. For somebody like me who vividly remembers the loud and indignant protests of Western human rights NGOs, media, and governments over human rights violations in Chechnya, Bosnia, or Kosovo (including plenty of completely fictional ones!), it is amazing to see how “for some mysterious reasons” the Ukrainian atrocities seem to go unnoticed in the West. The very same West that’s absolutely outraged about the arrest of Pussy Riot activists and who seems to seriously believe that organising a “Gay Pride parade” in Moscow is a human right is apparently totally indifferent to the gang rape of 12-14-year-old girls. What does this say about the West, it’s values, it’s leaders, media, and people?

As groups, the Uniates and schismatics have succoured the extremist nationalists for years. It’s time to make these institutions face the music for what they’ve done. All too often, good people kept their silence… evil triumphs when good men hold their tongues. In this case, allowing the “gun runners” (that’s how one UGKTs acquaintance of mine puts it) to run amok has stained these people’s reputations as a group. Shall they redeem themselves by rejecting these sorts? Only time will tell us…
