Ukraine's whitewashing of Nazi collaborators continues: Army unit honors Roman Shukhevych

The rehabilitation of fascist collaborators in Ukraine has once again been put on public display. 

 

Marking the 119th anniversary of Roman Shukhevych's birth, the Ukrainian Army's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade publicly paid tribute to one of the leading figures of the wartime Ukrainian nationalist movement—a man who served in the Nazi-sponsored Nachtigall Battalion, later in Schutzmannschaft Battalion 201, and subsequently became commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

 

Ukraine officially rehabilitates Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk

The Ukrainian authorities have proceeded with the official repatriation and honoring of Andriy Melnyk, leader of the notorious Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-M), once again exposing the increasingly open rehabilitation of fascist and collaborationist forces within the country’s official historical narrative.

Melnyk was one of the principal leaders of the OUN, an ultra-nationalist and fiercely anti-communist organization that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. Despite repeated attempts by Ukrainian nationalist circles to sanitize this history, the political character of the OUN remains inseparable from fascist ideology, ethnic chauvinism and collaboration with the Nazi occupation.

KKE MEPs denounce provocation by EU Commission

It demands the withdrawal of the persistent questions of historical truth raised by the sacrifice of the 200 communist heroes of Kaisariani 

The Commission is provocatively demanding the withdrawal of the Question submitted by the KKE’s MEPs. Based on the striking photographic evidence of the 200 communists who stood up face to face with the Nazi monster, the Question exposes the unhistorical nature of the EU’s ideology, which equates communism with the monster of fascism, as well as its undermining and deliberate stance towards the still-unfulfilled demand that German war reparations be paid for the Nazi atrocities in Greece.

Holocaust Remembrance Day and the erasure of Jewish communist partisans: The case of Leon Tager

Leon Tager (with the white shirt, center) with his comrades, 1941.

Leon Tager, a Bulgarian communist of Jewish origin, was held in a forced labor camp in his homeland until June 24, 1941. Two days after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Tager did not wait for instructions from his party, which he had joined in 1933. He broke into the camp’s storage facilities, stole a backpack filled with explosives, and escaped.

Six days later, a massive explosion was heard, followed by flames engulfing the fuel depots of the Bulgarian port city of Ruse. 

The Battle of Meligalas: Revolutionary Justice Against Collaboration and Fascism

 By Nikos Mottas

In the closing months of the Second World War, Greece was on the brink of liberation. Nazi German forces, facing defeat on all fronts, began withdrawing from the country. Yet in the Peloponnese and other regions, their presence was maintained through the actions of local collaborators: the Security Battalions (Tagmata Asfaleias). These battalions—composed of Greeks—had fought not against the occupiers but against their own people. Armed, trained, and supported by the Nazis, they were tasked with crushing the communist-led resistance.

By Nikos Mottas

The notorious "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation", an institute created in 1993 by the U.S governmental agencies in collaboration with the... crème de la crème of international anti-communism, has been exposed once again.

Ukraine's decommunization and the rise of fascism

By Nikos Mottas.

The process of the so-called “decommunization” in Ukraine was introduced during the first years of the restoration of capitalism in the USSR and included the slandering and erasing of anything related to the Soviet period and the construction of socialism.

This term was also used by the President of today's capitalist Russia, Vladimir Putin, in his anti-communist statement prior to the invasion, saying characteristically that “we are ready to show you what genuine decommunization means for Ukraine”. It is not a coincidence that anti-communism is a common feature of both the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev as well as the leadership of capitalist Russia, at a time when the two sides are waging a bloody war against the people on behalf of their bourgeois classes.
