Zelen­sky “nor­mal­izes” Stephan Ban­dera

COMMENT: In the ongo­ing series on the Ukraine war, Mr. Emory has advanced the metaphor of the war and its atten­dant cov­er­age as some­thing akin to the myth­i­cal Philoso­pher’s Stone of the alchemists. Instead of chang­ing lead into gold, it is chang­ing indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions in the West into the same fab­ric as Volodomyr Via­tro­vy­ch’s Ukrain­ian Insti­tute of Nation­al Mem­o­ry.

Recent­ly, Yahoo News has begun reg­u­lar­ly post­ing arti­cles from Ukrain­s­ka Prav­da.

This is part of a U.S.-funded media array in Ukraine, designed to com­mu­ni­cate open­ly pro­pa­gan­dized cov­er­age of things Ukrain­ian.

Yahoo’s pre­sen­ta­tion of Ukrayin­s­ka Prav­da exem­pli­fies Mr. Emory’s metaphor.

“Army of Secret Pro­pa­gan­dists in Ukraine Fund­ed by U.S. to Win West­ern Hearts and Minds for NATO Poli­cies” by Evan Reif; Covert Action Mag­a­zine; 5/12/2022.

Ukrayin­s­ka Prav­da

. . . . Not relat­ed to the orig­i­nal Prav­da, this was found­ed in 2000 by Georgiy Gongadze, a Geor­gian right-wing ter­ror­ist. One of the most pop­u­lar news out­lets in Ukraine, they now have near­ly one mil­lion fol­low­ers on Twit­ter.

As is fit­ting for their his­to­ry, they are unbe­liev­ably far-right. Indeed, the site has an entire sec­tion ded­i­cat­ed to his­tor­i­cal revi­sion­ism. They wor­ship Ban­dera and the OUN, alter­nate between deny­ing and jus­ti­fy­ing geno­cide, and defend the SS Gali­cia divi­sion, war crim­i­nals respon­si­ble for many atroc­i­ties, I am still sur­prised from time to time how brazen the Ukrain­ian far right can be, in this coun­try which the press tells us has no Nazi prob­lem.

Their exec­u­tive direc­tor, Andrey Bobo­rykin, works for CORE. The edi­tor-in-chief, Andrey’s wife Sevgil Musaye­va, got some­what famous back dur­ing the Maid­an coup for found­ing Crimea SOS, an NGO found­ed with NED cash work­ing for the return of Crimea to Ukrain­ian con­trol, most­ly by offer­ing what they call “ver­i­fied infor­ma­tion” but giv­en their fund­ing, is like­ly any­thing but. . . .
