[Peace-discuss] NYT on Ukraine

[Carl G. Estabrook]

[Doug Henwood of Left Busines Observer comments on this report by the NYT.]

The NY Times reports:

"From the stage on the square, a speaker yelled “Glory to Ukraine!” and the crowd yelled back “Glory to its heroes!” That echoed the slogans of the World War II-era Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, guerrilla armies that battled the Nazis, Poles and Soviets in an ultimately futile quest for an independent Ukraine."

Actually the OUN was part of the European fascist international. They fought the Nazis for nationalist reasons. But they were fascists despite that - and the CIA later used them during the Cold War.

This sort of thing deepens my suspicious about this "revolution."
