Украинские нео-нацисты готовят "новую революцию"
Read this post in English here.
1 июля в 12:00 украинская нео-нацистская группировка Социал-Национальная Ассамблея (СНА) планирует устроить беспорядки в Киеве.
В руководство СНА входят Андрей Билецкий, Игорь Мосейчук и Олег Однороженко. Вместе с другими членами СНА они были освобождены из тюрьмы - благодаря Олегу Ляшко - после победы украинской революции как политзаключенные, хотя они не имели никакого отношения к самой революции и оказались в тюрьме (кроме Однороженко) задолго до нее. Во время революции СНА формально входила в "Правый сектор" (ПС), а Билецкий и Однороженко даже были введены в "провид" ПС в марте, но многие члены СНА предпочитали базироваться не на 5-ом этаже Дома профсоюзов (база ПС во время революции), а в КГГА, который контролировался "Свободой" и ее нео-нацистским крылом С14 ("Січ"). С марта-апреля СНА также предпочитает сотрудничать с Ляшко, нежели с ПС, а Мосейчук даже был избран депутатом Киевской Рады по списку Радикальной партии Олега Ляшко.

Putyin hasznos idiótái és Európa kis Ribbentropjai
Putyin hasznos idiótái és Európa kis Ribbentropjai
Anton Shekhovtsov
Vita: Féljünk a putyini Oroszországtól?
A 2014 novemberében kezdődött ukrán EU-párti tüntetések, amelyek végül Viktor Janukovics bukásához vezettek, eléggé réijesztettek Putyinra, akinek két oka is lehet a félelemre.
Először is attól tarthat, hogy az ukrán tüntetések sikere átterjedhet Oroszországra, és ott is erős utcai ellenállás szerveződhet vele szemben, elvégre 2012-ben már voltak jelentős tüntetések ellene.
Másodsorban az EU-val kötött ukrán megállapodás, amely a kijevi tüntetések fő oka volt, végképp kihúzhatja Ukrajnát az orosz érdekszférából. Sőt, Ukrajna ezek után akar a NATO-tagságot is megcélozhatja, ami pedig minden orosz nacionalista legnagyobb félelme.

Jobbik acknowledges Russian military invasion in Ukraine
Commenting on the planned military cooperation between Visegrád 4 (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) and Ukraine, Hungarian far right Jobbik party acknowledged the fact that Russia is directly involved in the "civil war" in Ukraine.
First they blatantly recycle the Russian propagandistic narrative about the "civil war in Ukraine" and the "US involvement", but then they explicitly argue that if the Visegrad 4 military cooperation with Ukraine goes ahead, they would be confronting not pro-Russian separatists, but Russia itself. Thus, Jobbik forgot to follow the Russian line and - in a lucid moment - stated the obvious: It is Russia, rather than pro-Russian separatists, that is behind the chaos in Eastern Ukraine. Thank you, Jobbik - we knew it.

Freedom Party of Austria: pro-Russian far right lobbyists and merchants of deception
German version of this post can be found here: "Die Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs – rechte pro-russische Lobbyisten und Händler mit Täuschungen".
I wrote previously that Putin's Russia cooperates with European far right parties partly because the latter help Russian political and business elites worm into the West economically, politically and socially, and that for them the far right's racism and ultra-conservatism are less important then the far right's corruptibility.
Take, for example, late Jörg Haider. For some, he was the long-time leader of the far right Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ) and, later, the chairman of the Bündnis Zukunft Österreich. But for two Russian rich businessmen, Artyom Bikov and Aleksey Bobrov, Haider was a corrupt Governor of Carinthia who could be paid €900,000 in order to "assist" them in their naturalisation process. Imagine: the leader of an Austrian anti-immigration party took bribes to facilitate the acquisition of citizenship by non-Austrians.
FPÖ, under the leadership of Heinz-Christian Strache, is also involved in dubious deals and processes which are partly ideological and partly financial. The links between FPÖ and Putin's Russia are deep and numerous, so as a starting point let's take an almost random event: the conference "Colour revolutions in the CIS countries and their current impact" that took place in Vienna on 4 June 2010 at the Imperial Hotel.
