COMMENT: In FTR #1074 [5]we high­light­ed Face­book’s appoint­ment of Katery­na Kruk to be its Pub­lic Pol­i­cy Man­ag­er in Ukraine. Kruk is very close to the Atlantic Coun­cil, which was effec­tive­ly posi­tioned by Face­book to han­dle its man­age­ment of “Fake News.” The Atlantic Coun­cil is a foun­da­tion­al ele­ment of the push for a new Cold War and has pro­found links to both U.S. intel­li­gence and the fascist/Nazi milieu that grew out of the Rein­hard Gehlen spy orga­ni­za­tion.

In addi­tion to hav­ing worked with Svo­bo­da dur­ing the Euro­maid­an protests and open­ly cel­e­brat­ed [6] the burn­ing alive of anti-fas­cist pro­test­ers in Odessa by Ukrain­ian Nazis, Kruk has man­i­fest­ed oth­er Nazi and fas­cist affil­i­a­tions:

  1. In 2014, she tweet­ed that a man had asked her to con­vince his grand­son not to join the Azov Bat­tal­ion, a neo-Nazi mili­tia. “I couldn’t do it,” she said. “I thanked that boy and blessed him [7].” And he then trav­eled to Luhan­sk to fight pro-Russ­ian rebels.
  2. In March 2018, a 19-year neo-Nazi named Andriy “Dil­ly” Krivich [8] was shot and killed by a sniper. Krivich had been fight­ing with the fas­cist Ukrain­ian group Right Sec­tor, and had post­ed pho­tos on social media wear­ing Nazi Ger­man sym­bols. After he was killed, Kruk tweet­ed an homage to the teenage Nazi [9]. (The Nazi was also lion­ized on Euro­maid­an Press’ Face­book page [10].)
  3. Kruk has staunch­ly defend­ed the use of the slo­gan “Sla­va Ukrai­ni,” [11]which was first coined and pop­u­lar­ized [12] by Nazi-col­lab­o­rat­ing fas­cists [13], and is now the offi­cial salute of Ukraine’s army [14].
  4. She has also said that the Ukrain­ian fas­cist politi­cian Andriy Paru­biy [15], who co-found­ed a neo-Nazi par­ty before lat­er becom­ing the chair­man of Ukraine’s par­lia­ment the Rada, is “act­ing smart [16],” writ­ing, “Paru­biy touche [17].” . . . .

. . . . Svo­bo­da is not the only Ukrain­ian fas­cist group Katery­na Kruk has expressed sup­port for. In 2014, she tweet­ed that a man had asked her to con­vince his grand­son not to join the Azov Bat­tal­ion, a neo-Nazi mili­tia. “I couldn’t do it,” she said. “I thanked that boy and blessed him [7].” And he then trav­eled to Luhan­sk to fight pro-Russ­ian rebels.

That’s not all. In March 2018, a 19-year neo-Nazi named Andriy “Dil­ly” Krivich [8] was shot and killed by a sniper. Krivich had been fight­ing with the fas­cist Ukrain­ian group Right Sec­tor, and had post­ed pho­tos on social media wear­ing Nazi Ger­man sym­bols. After he was killed, Kruk tweet­ed an homage to the teenage Nazi [9]. (The Nazi was also lion­ized on Euro­maid­an Press’ Face­book page [10].)

Kruk has staunch­ly defend­ed the use of the slo­gan “Sla­va Ukrai­ni,” [11]which was first coined and pop­u­lar­ized [12] by Nazi-col­lab­o­rat­ing fas­cists [13], and is now the offi­cial salute of Ukraine’s army [14].
