“In Ukraine, again, the New Year's torchlight processions of the Nazis. This is another spit in the soul of millions of people, another insult to the memory of millions of victims of Nazism. If a neighboring country, as its leaders say, is moving to Europe, then this is Europe, or rather, Germany, of the thirties of the last century, ”Aksyonov wrote on Facebook.
He called the procession of nationalists a sabbath, noting that the Crimeans "thank God that they have nothing to do with the country in which the Nazi executioners and their spiritual heirs are national heroes."
“Bandera is the curse of Ukraine, the main factor in the degradation and destruction of the country, the ideological“ fuel ”of the civil war,” the head of Crimea said.
On January 1, more than a thousand people marched in Kiev in honor of Bandera.
The march was organized by the Freedom Party and the Right Sector *.
