“We know that there will be no reaction. Liberal Europe recently went to a rally in Berlin, protesting against the local, as they believe, fascists, who are against increasing the flow of migrants. And that the same ultra-right are coming out with us, the Europeans do not care at all. The main thing is that they are against Russia. And that they look pro-fascist is also nothing, since Ukraine is not Europe for them, ”said the expert.
Pogrebinsky also added that Ukrainian nationalists have become "very active."
“They have already intimidated both people and authorities. The authorities do not dare to seriously oppose them. They did not let Vatutin, the liberator of Kiev from the Nazis, break the monument, and that is good, ”he stressed.
October 14, in the center of Kiev, a march of nationalists took place in honor of the day the Ukrainian Insurgent Army was created *.
Earlier, a scuffle took place between the Ukrainian police and the radicals at a monument to the Soviet general Nikolai Vatutin in the Mariinsky park in Kiev.
* “Ukrainian Insurgent Army” (UPA) is a Ukrainian organization recognized as extremist and banned in Russia (decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 11/17/2014).
