Ukraine

I can't remember this being posted by the way.

http://www.romea.cz/en/features-and...eparatists-want-to-purge-slavyansk-of-gypsies

Another attack on local Romani people took place on 22 April in the Ukrainian town of Slavyansk, which is currently being ruled by pro-Russian separatists. German news server Die Welt quotes one of the separatists as saying the pro-Russian forces want to purge the town of "gypsies".

News server Romea.cz was the first media outlet in the Czech Republic to report on the attacks. Die Welt has now reported directly from the scene, where the newspaper has mapped the attacks against local Roma in detail.

"Pavel is picking up shards of glass from in front of his house. The windows are broken. There are bullet holes in the heavy metal doors. He and his wife Natalia will not be spending another night here. Most of their eight children, 10 grandchildren and the other relatives who lived in neighboring houses in this Romani community have already left," Die Welt reports.

Local Romani residents have now confirmed information published last week by Romea.cz. About 10 men came to their homes after dark to carry out the attack.

Some of the assailants were wearing camouflage uniforms, others wore civilian clothing and masks. The armed men fired rifles into the air, aimed at the doors and windows, and forced open the shutters.

A resident named Pavel told Die Welt that the armed men yelled: "Give us your cash, all your gold and your drugs!" They then shot a dog so no one would doubt they meant business.

"They broke into our yard through the main gate and started shooting at the window. They were wearing masks and there were about 15 of them," Natasha Cherepovska described the attack to the New York Times. "They wanted money and gold, but we don't have any."

Anti fascists again
 
One pro-Russian separatist has a clear opinion of Roma and believes the attacks on their homes in Slavyansk are in order. "Local residents are coming to us and complaining about Gypsies," Ruslan Mikeda, a fully-bearded man guarding the occupied headquarters of the secret service, told Die Welt.

"Gypsies are criminals trafficking in drugs. Our men are serious - we want to purge the town of Gypsies," said Mikeda, who told Die Welt that he spent several days on the Maidan during the winter and even joined the neo-Nazi Right Sector before realizing that the entire uprising was "in the hands of the Jews" and switching sides to join the pro-Russian separatists. His Facebook profile is full of calls to anarchy and war interlaced with anti-Semitism.

Anti fascists again, having a party
 
Yeah I know - there are some who are looking for sort of Slavic far right 'unity'

Yes I kind of suspected their would be links to the Russian far right and the Ukrainian far right, although I was hinting at more than just links. Maybe I'm reading a little to much into a vague none descriptive social network post (if it means what I think then it's going to be as vague as possible) but this is from the wall of a Right Sector regional leader. Being it's a Russian using the plural "we" and arrive I'm assuming in "Ukraine" could Russian far right militant groups be siding with Ukrainian military groups, if so we could see the start of something big.
 

That's an interesting point....dunno tbh...

I don't know if I would read into anything yet, admittedly it needs a lot more investigation but from the posts I have read on fascist websites supporting neither side in favour of 'white unity' is a minority opinion, a lot of them expressed frustration that the majority of fash were supporting Russian/Ukrainian nationalism rather than the unity of the Aryan race, I'm also not sure that the majority of the Ukrainian extreme right would accept the help of Russian nationalists given their extreme hatred of Russia. A lot of the Russian fash see the Maidan protesters as having been led by Jews etc and so its hard to see any sort of 'unity project' taking hold, I could be wrong though but I think that the majority of neo-nazis in Russia and Ukraine seem to hate each other so much anything on that basis would be very unlikely.

From what I know of the eastern European far right the Ukrainian fash would be far more likely to form alliances with say the Croatian or Polish fash and the Russian fash siding with Serbia and the like, I could be wrong on that though!

And with increased communication there are more trends towards 'internationalism' in the far right as strange as it may sound :hmm:

I watched a video about Nazis in Russia where they were holding training camps and other Nazis came to train there as well such as Germans etc, its not beyond the realms of possibility it would have included Ukrainian far righters as well.

Here it is if you are interested:

I do think that all these organizations have a number of extremely dangerous people attracted to violence who don't particularly care what 'side' they are on - certainly seems to be the case with that ruslan guy

The way I look at it's less about racism, or at least in the context of "we hate Russian's" but instead more about a clash of ideologies. Think of it more as a clash between the Russian empire enthusiasts e.g Eurasianists, Eastern slavic nationalists and Romanov flag wavers and on the other hand Eastern Slavic nationalists. I think quite a lot of the Russian far right groups have the reverse ideology of the European far right groups e.g they think overthrowing Putin is beneficial to their cause, so supporting a strong "nationalist Ukraine" that can support the far right in Russia and in exile is beneficial to their cause. Nonetheless the Western Ukraine far right groups have the same ultranationalist ideology of the Nazi's e.g one country, one race, the same as all the Russian far right groups outlawed by Putin. The Eastern groups as I said before are more about rebuilding the Russian empire and a lot look at the insignia about rebuilding a strong powerful, Russian orthodox, state based on the Romov's, think of the extremer version of a modern day version of the Black Hundred's.

Anyway I think it's a little bit of a Western myth that their is a lot of far right in the Russian government. Sorry that's not to say there isn't right wing fanatics, such as religious fanatics, homophobes, Eurasianists and even quite a few racists, but none of the hard core skin head and neo-nazi which Russia is notorious for. Since mid 2005, after the beheading the state has cracked down on the massively banning the parties, shutting down their websites and now their forced to operate underground, so it would only make sense that some of these groups would be interested in uniting with Ukraine's far right.

Anyway did you read the Ukraine's government statement over their concern of all the right wing parties marching during May Day? http://mfa.gov.ua/ua/press-center/c...-ukrajini-shhodo-neonacistsykih-vistupiv-v-rf Good old Anton Shekhovtsov the Ukraine government's new PR guy http://anton-shekhovtsov.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/nazis-and-stalinists-thrive-on-may-1-in.html. Most of the photos look like their from th e National Bolsheviks and Slavik Union two parties banned in Russia.

They've been having these outdoor celebrations for a lot of years. The Bolsheviks were party poopers though.

Oh yeah I agree there's not much or anything in the way of proper neo Nazis in the Russian government, the Putin government has clamped down on them to a huge extent.

I'm not so sure all the neo Nazis in Ukraine have the same ideology as the banned Russian groups, the likes of UNA UNSO and the like go on about Moskali and that sort of thing, they portray themselves as being against 'Russian occupation' but also against the EU, not sure how unifying with the Russian groups would reconcile itself with a core part of their ideology. I'm not saying some don't think like that obviously but I don't think all do.
 
Speaking of Chetniks, have a look at this:

http://balkanist.net/putin-exacts-his-revenge-for-the-brothers-across-the-danube/

And while official Serbian soldiers have not been deployed to Crimea, at least for now, Serb Chetnik volunteers have shown up for duty in Crimea. They were interviewed by Vice media journalist Simon Ostrosky, while working at a checkpoint located on a Crimean highway.

Ostrosky approached Bratislav Zivkovic (second from the right, above) who hails from “central Serbia, where he said “Czar Lazar started his campaign for Kosovo” and was in Crimea to help the Russians because “we have been helpful to each other through the ages.” He added: ”We have come to help share our experiences from the barricades in Kosovo and Metohija.” Enough said. Apparently Kosovo is Crimea now. Just ask Vladimir Putin and Bratislav Zivkovic.

Has done it for years. Groups (not necessarily Nazi) get banned, they then pop up again in a different guise, then they get banned ... Even if they found themselves in broader collaborations that would not involve police heavy-handedness they'd struggle like the liberals (who they team up with sometimes in protest) when it comes to the government's attempts to frustrate them by technicalities in the law and the use of a faked up opposition (and you get Zhirinovsky being a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?). What the government has been very good at is co-opting some of things that the far-right make noises about while pariahs. The street-level fascists are going to remain that. And the likes of Dugin look down on them. He's a different kettle of fish, really.
 
Totally "fash"ed out over the last couple of pages.
I'm not sure where the idea that the Odessa events began with the attack on the camp on the square. It's reported basically universally that they began out in the city when a pro-unity Maidan sided march met with, or rather was attacked by an anti-maidan group. The stronger Maidan claim was that it began with a man from their group, largely football ultras - that's acknowledged - being shot through the head. Which, from videos of firearms on the anti-Maidan side, seems not implausible.
But, not at all to get conspiratorial, it's serious, and grim - it seems to be more complex. Considering the entire basis for the tragedy was the street fighting...

The 'Russian' side, in the events that pumped-up the violence that ended in the huge fire, were firing from the police lines. The men in fatigues, with red bands, red-starred shields, and covered in St. George ribbons - classic 'Pro-Russians.' The police knew they were armed, they fired from alongside them.

So what is this? And what precedent could it be setting? Just my-enemy's-enemy, tolerating it from fear of overwhelming odds? Or police units bringing 'turned' anti-Maidan associates and ex-colleages? The Odessian police did essentially nothing until the entire centre of the union building was alight. These are the men of the Ministry which announced almost immediately that the building's occupants set themselves on fire.


I know RT news has it's own pro-Russia agenda, but they are making what looks like a credible case that the gunmen who fired on the pro-Kiev march, sparking the subsequent attack on the Trade Union building, were provocateurs acting in conjunction with the Odessa police.

Swedish antifa give their solidarity and support to those massacred in the Trade Union building by fascists. This is from the Free Joel facebook page.
Solidarity with the victims of the massacre in Odessa

Anti-Fascist Action Stockholm want to send our thoughts of solidarity to all the socialists and antifascists who were brutally murdered in the massacre of Odessa, as well as our deepest condolences to all of those who survived and are now living in grief of their lost comrades and friends.

Resistance against fascism as well as capitalist imperialism requires international solidarity.

Black is our sorrow – Red is our anger!

Yes, I already provided warnings with regard to the information posted, that it is not without the potential for mistakes as well as wrong assumptions to be made. My use of 'seems' and 'suspect' etc reflects that, rather than presenting the admittedly superficial information gathered so far as concrete evidence. Sure, when it comes to fascist influence or direction within OD (and I did say more digging needs to be done) the single link of Odinov is inadequate.

However, I did a little more digging on the Russian web, and it appears a Russian fascist named Anton Raevsky, belonging to a St Petersburg-based group called Chernaya Sotnya (the Black Hundreds) had recently been involved with OD. Several of his group, including himself, travelled to Ukraine to volunteer with the OD to help take on Right Sector and stayed at the OD camp on Kulikovo Field square.

His own video from the camp back in March.



His organisation. Just normal folks, out celebrating with those colours again.


seventh bullet, much respect for this investigation & find. I'll bow to this as irrefutable that extreme right wingers have been involved in the anti maiden at odessa.
I've looked at those posts on VK (seems he's only been a member there since the end of April and only has one freind / follower there (?)...
Further research on him shows he's since left Ukraine (I think it's the same cunt but google spurts out different gramatical names like Raevkogo, Raevskii, etc - certainly resembles hime though:

Check out those tatoos!
According to the article linked above - besides the "Blut & Boden" (Blood & Earthhe also has swastika and hitler portrait tats...

Even more so now, I find it utterly bizzare that this group that he seems to represent are shoulder to shoulder with a group holding a banner that shows a strangled eagle/swastika?

According to that article he was expelled from Ukraine by the SBU but then he goes on to say (in the following VK link you provided) that he left of his own accord.
he also mentioned that the participants of the Anti Maiden actuall asked him to leave!!!!On his VK page:
Once you lit up in the media , I believe , your stay at Kulikovo Field was undesirable for the participants ...
My suspicion is this piece of shit has tried to gatecrash the Anti Maiden in odessa (maybe even OD).
He dos't seem to like Anton Davidchenko much (one of the main organisers of Odessa Anti Maiden - sitting in Jail since the end of March) who I suspect was instrumental in him being asked to leave the camp.
Here's a very interesting interview with Davidchenko from 12th March - I think it's safe to say that he's quite a passionate anti nazi and wouldn't entertain them in the Anti Maiden Movement:



Meanwhile, while it seems legit to spam this discussion with irrelevant pictures of tricolours etc, here's Svoboda/Right Sector marching through Odessa on Apr 17th.
White Power signs/ Wolfs angels / Bandera Flages the works.

except thats plainly not a flag, is it ? Its actually a much larger banner we can only see a corner of from behind. Theres plainly something else on it we cant see . It can just as easily be, and I suggest is much more likely to be, an anti nazi banner making a comment about the Kiev junta.

such as this one, which if we only looked at the top right hand corner , which is all we can see in your pic, we would get a very different message from

If only you'd had the nous to check where seventh bullet's picture was from, you wouldn't be looking such a two-bob cunt, you two-bob cunt.

Like this one. It could say anything at the top. Down with the Kiev junta, probably. Copycat cunts.

Someone on fb was saying that they thought the story was faked.

Some people I usually respect coming out with utter shit over this.

But...but...if anti-fascists are attacking Roma settlements, surely that means the Roma are fascists, and deserve to be attacked?

"Blood and Soil". Old NSDAP slogan, variations of which crop up with just about every ultra-nationalist grouping in the west. Most hilarious when US fascists use it, given that they have no "soil" of their own.
