Stop Nazism, fascism, xenophobia and Russophobia in Ukraine!
STATEMENT
We, the authorized representatives of organizations of Russian compatriots in Ukraine, can not remain indifferent to the fact that hangs over Ukraine brown haze of neo-Nazism and fascism, xenophobia and Russophobia. Today in Kyiv impunity are thousands of marches and rallies of neo-Nazi thugs who chant fascist and xenophobic slogans in the media openly and widely promoted the principles of neo-Nazism and fascism. Nationalist parties and social organizations, of which there are several dozen in Ukraine, a number of media, as well as individual public servants and teachers of educational institutions, openly engaged in illegal neo-Nazi propaganda, and this ideology implanted in Ukrainian society, especially among young people.
We declare that if the Ukrainian authorities do not take against the spread of neo-Nazism and fascism preventive measures prescribed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, tomorrow may be too late.
Not so long ago, due to the recent political developments in the country, the so-called "high command VO" Trident "name of Stepan Bandera," issued a statement, which, in case of implementation by Ukraine of the Eurasian integration, they are going to open, "announce a large-scale mobilization of its members and supporters "and" ready to take up arms. "In a civilized country signatories of this statement for a long time would be arrested and prosecuted for public calls "an armed struggle against the state power."
In the same Lviv about one hundred and fifty youths wearing white masks marched through the center of the city, chanting racist and nationalist slogans, including: "Ukraine for Ukrainians", "Sieg Heil!", "Death to the enemies!" ... Lviv Mayor called this march "Shame on the city," but none of the participants in the march to justice has not been involved.
Impunity felt fascist speakers at the recent "Evromaydane" in Kiev, where some Diana Kamlyuk, otbyvshaya sentence for incitement to racial hatred, combined with violence and killing Nigerian openly proclaimed the idea of anti-Semitism and xenophobia, calling the victims of the Holocaust "Jewish soap" and denying the Nuremberg War Tribunal against Nazism and fascism. None of the "evrointegratorov" did not stop and did not condemn the provocative performance of ultra-nationalist, which according to the European laws would long ago have been behind bars.
Her supporters of a political party "Freedom" to break into the social and national demagogy to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, introduced a bill, which proposes to replace the term "The Great Patriotic War." The position of the neo-Nazis in this matter is clear. What can be "great" in collaborators of UPA, which fought a civil war against his Ukrainian people? The bloody trail of crimes UPA extends not only in Ukraine, but also in Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Yugoslavia.
Today, when Ukraine is preparing to meet the 70th anniversary of liberation from Nazi occupation by the Red Army, the descendants and heirs of the remnants of the Nazis openly raise their head. The tragic lessons of the Great Patriotic War, many Ukrainian politicians and bureaucrats are forgotten. In the state efforts ideological successors UPA - members of the party "Freedom" and their friends from the opposition, who call themselves "democrats and patriots" in full swing rewritten national history, distorted facts, defiled the memory of those who gave their lives in the struggle against the German -fashistskimi invaders.
Today bloody executioners and collaborators in western Ukraine erect monuments, they are called "fighters for freedom and independence of Ukraine." This monstrous lie offends cherished memory of our fathers and grandfathers who served in the Red Army, the partisans and underground selflessly fought for the independence of the Fatherland and the liberation of Ukraine from Nazi occupation. We are proud that our fathers and grandfathers broke the back of fascism and saved the world from Fascism.
Peoples court in Nuremberg Nazis and their accomplices (including UPA) were found to be responsible for all the crimes of Nazism. It was at the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal were presented compelling evidence that the UPA had never been members of the Ukrainian people and fighters for Ukrainian independence. It was Hitler's mercenaries, who took the oath of allegiance to Hitler, with arms in hand, in the composition of the Security Police and SD, punitive and police battalions in the structures of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS in criminal, were directly involved in the implementation of war crimes against humanity.
UPA were particularly atrocity in the destruction of the civilian population - the elderly, children, women, humiliation and murder of prisoners of war. According to historians, at the hands of UPA fighters were killed and a half million Jews, more than a million Ukrainians to half a million Poles. Instead of creating the Book of Remembrance of the Victims of the OUN-UPA and condemn them as criminal organizations, local authorities in western Ukraine celebrate Hitler's mercenaries of UPA as "fighters for independence", rename their street names, fake history, whitewash hateful ideology and crimes Ukrainian fascism, contribute to the development of neo-Nazism in Ukraine.
We, the delegates V All-Ukrainian Conference of Russian Compatriots, appeal to the authorities of Ukraine and demand:
- Recognize the criminal ideology and activities of the OUN, UPA and their military forces, to prevent the promotion of neo-nazism and racial intolerance in the media, rehabilitation and glorification of Nazi collaborators, as well as manufacturing, distribution, display the fascist and Nazi symbols by political parties, associations of citizens, legal entities and persons;
- Ban neo-Nazi party All-Ukrainian Union "Freedom" and all the neo-Nazi movement in the Ukraine, to pass a law to ban all neo-wing radical organizations;
- Ukrainian law enforcement agencies and governments at all levels to give a principled assessment of any manifestations of neo-Nazism and political extremism, to bring to justice in accordance with the current legislation of persons engaged in the promotion of fascist and Nazi ideology, racial intolerance, as well as the production, distribution and demonstration of fascist and Nazi symbols ;
- Stop political speculation, aimed at the falsification of history, immediately adopt a law on criminal liability of persons who publicly deny and insult our heroic victory in the Great Patriotic War over Nazi Germany.
