Ukrainian Nazism

Resources and Links

Oct 23, 2022

I will be writing more about this problem - but I wanted to release this compilation of links first. For a good overview of what’s been happening with the US proxy war in Ukraine, I recommend listening to all three episodes of Crawdads and Taters on the war:

Ukraine Part 1 - A US-Proxy for the New Cold War Era

Ukraine Part 2 - From Maidan to Russiagate: Manufacturing Consent for World War III

Ukraine Part 3- Biden’s Armageddon and the Costs of Forever Wars

Ukrainian Nazis in the western media - pre 2022

Thanks to whoever made this meme, I have included the headlines from it as well as others. This is an incomplete list, it includes Salon, The Guardian, the BBC, Time, Politico, the New York Times, Newsweek, Bellingcat, Reuters, and others. Even NATO mouthpieces Radio Free Europe and The Atlantic Council have covered Nazism in Ukraine.

The coverage was not limited to print - here are several video segments.

Post February Coverage

After February, suddenly they changed their tune. Here are a few links, but essentially every story post February has progressively glossed over and ignored the Nazi problem.

New York Times World @nytimesworld

Commanders of Ukraine’s celebrated Azov Battalion have held an emotional reunion with their families in Turkey, Ukrainian officials said, honoring the fighters released from Russian confinement last month.

The fight for Ukraine is a fight for liberal ideals. So how can Boris Johnson possibly lead it? - Suddenly the Guardian no longer mentions Nazis and says this fight is for liberal ideals.

For foreign fighters, Ukraine offers purpose, camaraderie and a cause - Reuters forgets to mention who this camaraderie is with…Nazis.

Ukrainians are giving two lessons in democracy that Americans have forgotten - For CNN, Ukraine is a beacon of Democracy and actually compares them to Civil Rights protesters

And here’s how the BBC changed their video coverage:

Non Mainstream Media Coverage

For a reasonable assessment of Ukraine, it is necessary to leave the mainstream media propaganda behind. Here are some articles from independent journalists and publications that are not influenced by the pro-western, pro-corporate narrative.
