Ukrainian nationalism is a NATO-Nazi psyop to prevent the re-establishment of the Soviet Union.

Foreign involvement

German involvement

Flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army

Dating all the way back to the First World War, Ukrainian nationalism has existed as an astroturfed movement. Ukrainian nationalism was originally astroturfed by the German Empire in 1917 to justify the breakup of the ex-Russian Empire's territories in Eastern Europe.[1] The original Ukrainian nationalist movement slowly died out towards the end of the Russian Civil War in 1923, however it was revitalized again by Nazi Germany during the Second World War to weaken the Soviet Union (USSR). During the Great Patriotic War, the Nazis astroturfed Ukrainian nationalist movements to serve as collaborators under their Reichskommissariat Ukraine.[2] Examples of this included Ukrainian nationalist collaboration included the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police (UDP). Stepan Bandera, who later became an icon for the modern Ukrainian nationalist movement, served as the leader of the UPA and a UDP officer.[3][4] Bandera helped Nazi Germany extend the Holocaust into Ukraine, murdering Poles, Czechs, Russians, Jews, and Communists regardless of ethnicity.

American involvement

After the end of the Second World War and the start of the Cold War, the United States (US) became increasingly interested in rehabiliting the fascist forces they had fought against during the way and turning them into a bulwark against Communism. This path was taken in both Germany and Japan, with ex-Nazis and ex-Imperial officials being reinstated to positions of power.[5] The CIA began to take a similar approach with Ukraine, hoping to take advantage of the remnants of the Banderite Ukrainian nationalist movement as a weapon against the USSR.[6] In 1946, the US launched Operation Belladonna to aid the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council (UHVR), a Ukrainian nationalist organization that worked with Bandera.[7] In 1949, the CIA launched Project AERODYNAMIC to expand influence in Ukraine and astroturf Ukrainian nationalism.[8][9] With CIA funding, Ukrainian nationalists founded a research institute in New York and published multiple anti-Soviet publications until 1991.[10] The project ended in 1970, but it was renewed as PDDYNAMIC in 1974. PDDYNAMIC lasted until 1991.[11] The CAPELIN project by the CIA was launched around the same time as Operation Belladonna, which gave Bandera and his allies shelter in US-occupied Germany after the end of the Second World War.

British Involvement

British intelligence made contact with Ukrainian nationalists in 1946, alongside American and French intelligence.[12] In 1950, British intelligence collaborated with the CIA to infiltrate the Soviet Union and, particularly, to support the agency's infiltration operations in Ukraine. While American intelligence was in favor of the UHVR, a coalition of multiple anti-Soviet and nationalist partisan groups (including the UPA and Banderite OUN), British intelligence itself was far more supportive of the OUN in particular.[10] CIA documents implicate MI6 (SIS) in Operations Belladonna and AERODYNAMIC.[13]


History

Ukraine means "borderland" in Russian. The Ukrainian language is effectively a dialect of Russian, being mutually intelligible. So is Belarusian. Yet Ukrainians hate this fact more than Belarusians. Why? Their history.

Sovereignty under USSR

Ukraine first became an independent nation thanks to Vladimir Lenin, as he destroyed the Russian Empire under Kerensky, proclaimed the right of nations to self-determination, and recognized the Ukrainian People's Republic as a nation.

The workers of Ukraine, like other nations of the former Russian Empire, rose up to join the Russian Bolsheviks in forming the Soviet Union. So the Bolsheviks could have merged Ukraine with Russia. Other short-lived "national" republics of the Civil War, like the Crimean People's Republic,[14] met such a fate. However, the Bolsheviks chose to continue recognizing Ukraine as a nation.

Due to Trotsky delaying the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, Western Ukraine was captured by Poland and occupied from 1918 to 1939. To stop the spread of communist dictatorship, Poland immediately became a dictatorship of Josef Pilsudski. As its prisons worse than the Gulags filled up, Polish fascism switched to abducting and secretly murdering communists and unionists. Under these conditions, surviving Western Ukrainians developed severe Russophobia, which has carried over[15] to modern times.

A major inspiration for modern Ukrainian nationalists is the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. [16] This organization was founded by exiled Ukrainians in Austria in 1929 and following the trends of the time, became fascist. In response to Polish oppression, it attacked Polish leaders. However, being avowedly anti-communist, it saw the Soviets as the ultimate threat, and begged for the Nazis to save them.[17]

Allying with the Nazis during World War II, the OUN rose up against the Soviets, taking power mainly in Western Ukraine[18]. The Nazis ordered the OUN's self-declared state to disband in favor of their direct puppet Reichskommissariat, but the OUN continued to lick Nazi boots and fight the Soviets.

Led by Stepan Bandera, the OUN attacked civilian communists, Poles, and Jews, terrorizing women and children. Nazi propaganda praised them and the Nazis armed them.

After World War II, the OUN was funded by the CIA through Project AERODYNAMIC.

Banderite Ukraine

After Gorbachev and Yeltsin destroyed the Soviet Union as a sacrifice of souls to Western banks, Ukraine became independent for the first serious amount of time ever. In order to subordinate Ukrainians to the Fourth Reich, Globalist elites began to forge a new "national identity" for Ukraine to divide them from Russia. Their only historical precedents for Ukraine's "independence" (bourgeois rule) were the brief Ukrainian People's Republic and the OUN. Russophobes found great common ground with the OUN.

Stepan Bandera continues to be glorified in Ukraine. Fascist ideology is promoted and widely accepted in Western Ukraine as necessary to "defend" the "nation". This means Ukrainians who would like to speak Russian and have better ties with Russia, like the Donbas, must be denied rights - even if it means throwing your own people into a meat grinder. Ukrainian fascism is expressed in movements like the Azov Battalion assimilating into the Ukrainian army to fight Russia.
