After Yugoslavia, Ukraine ?

by Thierry Meyssan

Public opinion in Western Europe is wrong to regard the Ukrainian

crisis as a showdown between Westerners and Russians. In reality,
Washingtons goal is not to push the country into the arms of the
European Union, but to deprive Russia of its historical partners. To
do this, the United States is prepared to ignite a new civil war on
the continent.

fter having dismembered Yugoslavia during a ten-year civil war

(1990-1999), has the United States decided to destroy Ukraine in
a similar way? This is what could be inferred from the maneuvers

that the opposition is poised to launch during the Sochi Olympic Games.
Ukraine has been historically divided between, in the West, a
population turned towards the European Union and, in the East, a
population oriented towards Russia, plus a small Muslim minority in
Crimea. After the countrys independence, the government gradually
crumbled. Taking advantage of the confusion, the United States
organized the Orange Revolution (2004) [1], which brought to power a
mafia clan, also pro-Atlanticist. Moscow responded by lifting its subsidies
on gas prices, but the Orange government could not rely on its Western
allies to help pay the market price. Ultimately, it lost the 2010 presidential
election in favor of Viktor Yanukovych, a corrupt politician, and on againoff again pro-Russian.
On 21 November 2013, the government renounces signing the
Association Agreement negotiated with the European Union. The
opposition responds with protests in Kiev and in the western part of the
country, which quickly take on an insurrectionary appearance. It calls for
early presidential and parliamentary elections and refuses to form a
government when approached by President Yanukovych and the Prime
Minister

resigns.

Euromaidan,

then

Eurorevolution, by Radio Free Europe (run by the State Department).

The crowd control for the opposition is provided by Azatlyk, a group of
young Crimean Tatars who returned from Jihad in Syria especially for the
occasion [2].
The Atlanticist media champion the cause of the democratic
opposition and condemn Russian influence. High-profile Western
figures turn up to manifest their support to the protesters, including
Victoria Nuland (Assistant Secretary of State and former Ambassador to
NATO) and John McCain (Chairman of the Republican branch of the

NATO) and John McCain (Chairman of the Republican branch of the

NED). For its part, the Russian press condemns protesters who have taken
to the streets to overthrow democratically elected institutions.
Torch-lit march of 15,000 Nazis in Kiev on 1 January 2014.

At first, the movement seemed to be an attempt to orchestrate a

second Orange Revolution. But on 1 January 2014 the power in the
street changes hands. The Nazi Freedom party organizes a 15 000strong torch-lit march in memory of Stepan Bandera (1909-1959), the
nationalist leader who allied himself with the Nazis against the Soviets.
Since this event, the capital has been covered with anti-Semitic graffiti
and people are attacked on the street for being Jewish.
The pro-European opposition is made up of three political parties:
The All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" (Batkivshchyna), led by the
oligarch and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko (serving a prison
sentence following her convictions for embezzlement) and currently
headed by lawyer and former Parliament speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk. It
stands for private property and the Western liberal model. It garnered
25.57% of the vote in the 2012 parliamentary elections.
The Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (Udar), of former
boxing world champion Vitali Klitschko. It claims to identify with Christian
Democracy and picked up 13.98% in the 2012 elections.
The All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda" (Freedom), led by the surgeon
Oleh Tyahnybok. This political group sprang from the National Socialist

Oleh Tyahnybok. This political group sprang from the National Socialist
Party of Ukraine. It promotes the denaturalization of Jewish Ukrainians. It
won 10.45% of the vote in the 2012 parliamentary elections.
These parliamentary parties have the support of:
The Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, a Nazi splinter group from the
former NATO stay-behind networks in the Eastern Bloc [3]. A Zionist, he
calls for the denaturalization and deportation of Ukrainian Jews to Israel.
He received 1.11% of the vote in 2012.
The Ukrainian Self-Defense, a nationalist splinter group that sent its
members to fight the Russians in Chechnya and Ossetia during the
Georgian conflict. It got 0.08% of the vote in 2012.
In addition, the opposition has received the endorsement of the
Ukrainian Orthodox Church, in revolt against the Moscow Patriarchate.
Ever since the Nazi Party took over the streets, the demonstrators - many
of them wearing helmets and dressed in paramilitary uniforms -have
erected barricades and stormed government buildings. Certain elements
of the police force have also displayed great brutality, going so far as to
torture detainees. A dozen protesters were killed and nearly 2,000 were
wounded. The unrest spread to the western provinces of the country.
According to our information, the Ukrainian opposition seeks to import
military materials acquired on parallel markets. It is obviously not
possible to purchase weapons in Western Europe and bring them in
without NATOs green light.
Washingtons strategy in Ukraine would appear to be a combination of
proven "color revolution" recipes with others recently concocted during
the "Arab Spring" [4]. Moreover, the United States makes no effort to hide
it: it dispatched two officials, Victoria Nuland (deputy to John Kerry) and
John McCain (who is not only a Republican senator, but also the
chairman of IRI, the Republican branch of the NED [5]) to support the
protesters. Unlike Libya and Syria, Washington does not have jihadists on
hand to sow chaos (except for Tatar extremists, but they are only located
in Crimea). It was therefore decided to lean on the Nazis with whom the

in Crimea). It was therefore decided to lean on the Nazis with whom the
State Department worked against the Soviets and has organized in
political parties since independence.
The inexperienced reader may be taken aback by this alliance between
the Obama administration and the Nazis. However, it must be
remembered that Ukrainian Nazis were publicly honored at the White
House by President Reagan, including Yaroslav Stetsko, Ukrainian Prime
Minister under the Third Reich, who became the head of the antiBolshevik Bloc of Nations and a member of the World anti-Communist
League [6]. One of his deputies, Lev Dobriansky, became U.S. ambassador
to the Bahamas, while his daughter Paula Dobriansky served as Under
Secretary of State for Democracy (sic) during the George W. Bush
administration. It is the same Ms. Dobriansky who for ten years
sponsored a historical research with the aim of clouding the fact that the
Holodomor, the famine that hit Ukraine in 1932-33, also devastated
Russia and Kazakhstan, thereby reinforcing the myth that Stalin was
determined to eliminate the Ukrainian people [7].
In fact, Washington, who had supported the German Nazi party until
1939 and continued to do business with Nazi Germany until the end of
1941, never had a moral problem with Nazism, not more than it has today
in providing military support to jihadism in Syria.
Western European elites, who use Nazism as a pretext to harass
firebrands - as seen with the quenelle controversy over French
comedien Dieudonn MBala MBala [8] - have forgotten what it really is.
In 2005, they closed their eyes to the rehabilitation of Nazism by the
President of Latvia, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, as if it were trivial [9]. On the
simple strength of statements in favor of the European Union, and
wrapped up in their blissful Atlanticism, they now support their worst
enemy. Civil war could start in Ukraine during the Olympic Games in
Sochi.
