First time in 100 years there's no Communist in Ukrainian Parliament: Election in Ukraine



This is great news. These Communists are like the neocons in Eastern Europe (but much worse since they represent actual dictatorship). Also, pro-Russian parties were soundly defeated. The Ukrainians do NOT like Putin.

The leader of Ukraine’s Communist Party has labeled Sunday’s parliamentary elections ‘illegitimate’ after his party failed to get a single seat in the Ukrainian assembly for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Exit polls suggest pro-European parties will dominate the new parliament, opening the way for Petro Poroshenko to implement a reformist mandate to steer the country’s geopolitical course further into Europe’s orbit, away from Russia.

Yatsunek (the previous PM) is a NeoCon in every aspect.


All the false "reports" that svoboda and Right sector did not get large percentages. Well of course they did not, half the Neo-Nazi's allied and joined together to form Yatsunek's "People's Front"! So there will be more extreme members in parliment than before!

Including the leaders of the Neo-Nazi Azov battalion.

People who want to learn the truth can go to this link that details the new party formation.

Ukraine's former President &Prime Minister to formalize and strengthen alliance with Neo-Nazi groups


There are no longer any doubts that the new Ukrainian leadership wasn't allied with Svoboda and Right sector (Neo Nazi groups) as a "necessary temporary situation", but is so aligned with them that they are taking part of the "fatherhood" party and binding with Svoboda and Right sector to create a larger, more powerful coalition.

Facism, having been emboldened from the recent coup in Ukraine, is growing significantly there as the country further splits politically. This is only one strong front for Facism there, there are also other parties such as PM Lyashko's "Radical Party, which has been growing in influence as well; (Lyashko is the Parlimentary member that Amnesty International warned on):

Here is a picture of the collation meeting. (Notice the banner in the background).
The former President and PM in the foreground.


There was always a problem with the new government that came into power in Kiev having brought in Neo-Nazi "commanders" into the executive branch and in many other positions in government. But they claim all along was that it wasn't a significant thing, and not demonstrative of the major personalities involved.

But this is clear evidence that not only was is it a considerable problem, but power players in the existing government are going to actually **increase** the prominence of these groups by forming a parliamentary collation and running together in the elections. This is a serious development and needs to be exposed.

From the Kyiv Post:

Turchynov, Avakov, Parubiy and commanders of special battalions included in military council of People's Front


http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/turchynov-avakov-parubiy-and-commanders-of-special-battalions-included-in-military-council-of-peoples-front-364326.html

Parubiy is one of the heads of "Svoboda". This alliance also includes Andriy Biletsky, the head of the “Azov” battalion, the most openly fascist of the paramilitary battalions. Biletsky is also the leader of the Social-National Assembly of Ukraine and it’s paramilitary wing Patriot of Ukraine, (essentially the most violent and militant of the neo-nazi groups in Ukraine).


From wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_of_Ukraine)


"The Patriot of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Патріо́т Украї́ни is a Ukrainian nationalist organization with racist and neo-Nazi political beliefs. It constitutes a paramilitary wing of the Social-National Assembly of Ukraine (S.N.A.), an assemblage of neo-Nazi organizations and groups founded in 2008 that share the social-national ideology and agree upon building a social-national state in Ukraine. Both the “Patriot of Ukraine” and the S.N.A. engage in political violence against minorities and their political opponents. The leader of the “Patriot of Ukraine” and of the Social-National Assembly is Andriy Biletsky."

I am a liberal progressive democrat. Keep the McCarthyism down. Democrats don't do that.

If you can argue my research do so.

Ukraine government.

You can look it up. I am still waiting for you to refute the information.

You saying "patriot of Ukraine" is not a neonazi group? I know the languages. I will spell it out for you... that banner says (top to bottom) Patriot, Left to Right - Ukraine




That is only one group who joined up to form the "People's front".

You make no sense.
