Cel­e­bra­tion of the 75th Anniver­sary of the 14th Waf­fen SS Divi­sion in Lviv, Ukraine in sum­mer of 2018. Note the Ukrain­ian hon­or guard in the back­ground.

COMMENT: A reveal­ing vote at the UN shone a rare spot­light on the pro-fas­cist and Nazi strate­gic agen­da that the US and much of the rest of the West has pur­sued since before the guns of World War II fell silent.

Exem­pli­fy­ing this dynam­ic are FTR#‘s 1146, 1147, 1148, 1149, 1150.

With the EU and UK abstain­ing from the vote, the US and Ukraine were the only nations vot­ing against the res­o­lu­tion con­demn­ing the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of Nazism. 

” . . . . ‘By its terms, the Assem­bly expressed deep con­cern about the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of the Nazi move­ment, neo-Nazism and for­mer mem­bers of the Waf­fen SS orga­ni­za­tion, includ­ing by erect­ing mon­u­ments and memo­ri­als, hold­ing pub­lic demon­stra­tions in the name of the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of the Nazi past, the Nazi move­ment and neo-Nazism, and declar­ing or attempt­ing to declare such mem­bers and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coali­tion, col­lab­o­rat­ed with the Nazi move­ment and com­mit­ted war crimes and crimes against human­i­ty ‘par­tic­i­pants in nation­al lib­er­a­tion move­ments’. . . .”

Oleh Tihany­bok, leader of the OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tion Svo­bo­da.

We have exhaus­tive­ly doc­u­ment­ed the renais­sance enjoyed in Ukraine post-Maid­an by the forces embod­ied in, and aligned with, the OUN/B.

Pro­fes­sor Ivan Katchanovs­ki has doc­u­ment­ed the fact that the shots that felled police and pro­test­ers alike at the Maid­an coup came from build­ings occu­pied by mem­bers of Svo­bo­da, whose leader is seen at right.

“US and Ukraine at UN Refuse to Con­demn Nazism” by Craig Mur­ray; Con­sor­tium News; 12/23/2021.

The Ukrain­ian vote against the U.N. res­o­lu­tion against Nazism was moti­vat­ed by sym­pa­thy for the ide­ol­o­gy of his­toric, geno­ci­dal active Nazis. It is as sim­ple as that, writes Craig Mur­ray.

This is ver­ba­tim from the offi­cial report of the U.N. Gen­er­al Assem­bly ple­nary of Dec. 16:

“The Assem­bly next took up the report on ‘Elim­i­na­tion of racism, racial dis­crim­i­na­tion, xeno­pho­bia and relat­ed intol­er­ance,’ con­tain­ing two draft res­o­lu­tions.

“By a record­ed vote of 130 in favor to 2 against (Ukraine, Unit­ed States), with 49 absten­tions, the Assem­bly then adopt­ed draft res­o­lu­tion I, ‘Com­bat­ing glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of Nazism, neo-Nazism and oth­er prac­tices that con­tribute to fuel­ing con­tem­po­rary forms of racism, racial dis­crim­i­na­tion, xeno­pho­bia and relat­ed intol­er­ance’.” It goes on:

“By its terms, the Assem­bly expressed deep con­cern about the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of the Nazi move­ment, neo-Nazism and for­mer mem­bers of the Waf­fen SS orga­ni­za­tion, includ­ing by erect­ing mon­u­ments and memo­ri­als, hold­ing pub­lic demon­stra­tions in the name of the glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of the Nazi past, the Nazi move­ment and neo-Nazism, and declar­ing or attempt­ing to declare such mem­bers and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coali­tion, col­lab­o­rat­ed with the Nazi move­ment and com­mit­ted war crimes and crimes against human­i­ty ‘par­tic­i­pants in nation­al lib­er­a­tion move­ments’.

Fur­ther, the Assem­bly urged States to elim­i­nate all forms of racial dis­crim­i­na­tion by all appro­pri­ate means, includ­ing through leg­is­la­tion, urg­ing them to address new and emerg­ing threats posed by the rise in ter­ror­ist attacks incit­ed by racism, xeno­pho­bia and oth­er forms of intol­er­ance, or in the name of reli­gion or belief. It would call on States to ensure that edu­ca­tion sys­tems devel­op the nec­es­sary con­tent to pro­vide accu­rate accounts of his­to­ry, as well as pro­mote tol­er­ance and oth­er inter­na­tion­al human rights prin­ci­ples. It like­wise would con­demn with­out reser­va­tion any denial of or attempt to deny the Holo­caust, as well as any man­i­fes­ta­tion of reli­gious intol­er­ance, incite­ment, harass­ment or vio­lence against per­sons or com­mu­ni­ties on the basis of eth­nic ori­gin or reli­gious belief.”

In Ukraine, sup­port for the Ukrain­ian nation­al­ist divi­sions who fought along­side the Nazis has become, over the last eight years, the found­ing ide­ol­o­gy of the mod­ern post-2013 Ukrain­ian state (which is very dif­fer­ent from the diverse Ukrain­ian state which briefly exist­ed 1991–2013). The full res­o­lu­tion on Nazism and racism passed by the Gen­er­al Assem­bly is lengthy, but these pro­vi­sions in par­tic­u­lar were vot­ed against by the Unit­ed States and by the Ukraine:

“Empha­sizes the rec­om­men­da­tion of the Spe­cial Rap­por­teur that ‘any com­mem­o­ra­tive cel­e­bra­tion of the Nazi regime, its allies and relat­ed orga­ni­za­tions, whether offi­cial or unof­fi­cial, should be pro­hib­it­ed by States’, also empha­sizes that such man­i­fes­ta­tions do injus­tice to the mem­o­ry of the count­less vic­tims of the Sec­ond World War and neg­a­tive­ly influ­ence chil­dren and young peo­ple, and stress­es in this regard that it is impor­tant that States take mea­sures, in accor­dance with inter­na­tion­al human rights law, to coun­ter­act any cel­e­bra­tion of the Nazi SS orga­ni­za­tion and all its inte­gral parts, includ­ing the Waf­fen SS;

Express­es con­cern about recur­ring attempts to des­e­crate or demol­ish mon­u­ments erect­ed in remem­brance of those who fought against Nazism dur­ing the Sec­ond World War, as well as to unlaw­ful­ly exhume or remove the remains of such per­sons, and in this regard urges States to ful­ly com­ply with their rel­e­vant oblig­a­tions, inter alia, under arti­cle 34 of Addi­tion­al Pro­to­col I to the Gene­va Con­ven­tions of 1949;

Con­demns with­out reser­va­tion any denial or attempt to deny the Holo­caust;

Wel­comes the call of the Spe­cial Rap­por­teur for the active preser­va­tion of those Holo­caust sites that served as Nazi death camps, con­cen­tra­tion and forced labour camps and pris­ons, as well as his encour­age­ment of States to take mea­sures, includ­ing leg­isla­tive, law enforce­ment and edu­ca­tion­al mea­sures, to put an end to all forms of Holo­caust denial.”

As report­ed in The Times of Israel, hun­dreds took part in a demon­stra­tion in Kiev in May and oth­ers through­out Ukraine, in hon­or of a spe­cif­ic divi­sion of the SS. That is but one march and one divi­sion — glo­ri­fi­ca­tion of its Nazi past is a main­stream part of Ukrain­ian polit­i­cal cul­ture.

In 2018 a bipar­ti­san let­ter by 50 U.S. rep­re­sen­ta­tives con­demned mul­ti­ple events com­mem­o­rat­ing Nazi allies held in Ukraine with offi­cial Ukrain­ian gov­ern­ment back­ing.

There are no two ways about it. The Ukrain­ian vote against the U.N. res­o­lu­tion against Nazism was moti­vat­ed by sym­pa­thy for the ide­ol­o­gy of his­toric, geno­ci­dal active Nazis. It is as sim­ple as that. . . .

. . . . There is no his­tor­i­cal doubt what­so­ev­er of Ukrain­ian nation­al­ist forces’ active sup­port of Nazism and par­tic­i­pa­tion in geno­cide, not just of Jews and Roma but of Poles and reli­gious minori­ties. There is no doubt what­so­ev­er of the mod­ern glo­ri­fi­ca­tion in Ukraine of these evil peo­ple.

It is of course not just Ukraine. In Esto­nia, Latvia and Lithua­nia the record of col­lab­o­ra­tion with Nazis, of active par­tic­i­pa­tion in fight­ing for Nazis, and in active par­tic­i­pa­tion in geno­cide is extreme­ly sham­ing. Through­out East­ern Europe there is a fail­ure in these “vic­tim nations” to look his­to­ry square­ly in the eye and to admit what hap­pened — a fail­ure the Unit­ed States in actu­al­ly pro­mot­ing as “a cam­paign against Russ­ian dis­in­for­ma­tion”.

I rec­om­mend to you the web­site  Defend­ing His­to­ry, run by the admirable David Katz, which is a large and valu­able resource on this web­site from a Lithuan­ian Jew­ish per­spec­tive that can­not remote­ly be dis­missed as Russ­ian or left-wing pro­pa­gan­da. The front page cur­rent­ly fea­tures the Decem­ber 2021 nam­ing of a square in the cap­i­tal after Lithuan­ian “free­dom fight­er” Juokas Luk­sa “Dau­man­tas,” a man who com­menced the mas­sacre of Jews in Vil­nius ahead of the arrival of Ger­man forces.

These are pre­cise­ly the kind of com­mem­o­ra­tions the res­o­lu­tion is against. There has been a rash of destruc­tion of Sovi­et war memo­ri­als and even war graves, and erec­tion of com­mem­o­ra­tions, in var­i­ous form, of Nazis through­out the Baltic states. That is what paras 6 and 7 of the res­o­lu­tion refer to, and there is no doubt what­so­ev­er of the truth of these events. It is not “Russ­ian dis­in­for­ma­tion.”

How­ev­er the Euro­pean Union, in sup­port of its Baltic states mem­bers and their desire to for­get or deny his­tor­i­cal truth and to build a new nation­al myth expung­ing their active role in the geno­cide of their Jew­ish and Roma pop­u­la­tions, would not sup­port the U.N. Res­o­lu­tion on Nazism. The EU coun­tries abstained, as did the U.K. The truth of course is that NATO intends to use the descen­dants of East­ern Euro­pean racists against Rus­sia much as Hitler did, at least in a cold war con­text.

You won’t find that in the Expla­na­tion of Vote.
