Natalie Jaresko, executive director of La Junta, with OUN-B leader Stefan Romaniw in Australia. Her brother is close to the Banderites in her hometown. For all the Ukrainian nationalist rhetoric about "captive nations," they don't seem to think that Puerto Rico counts as one.
Natalie Jaresko's brother John is the parish board president of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Bloomingdale, Illinois, which honors the memory of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators and even hosted a controversial OUN-B conclave in 2019
Executive director of Puerto Rico's Financial Oversight and Management Board:
Last summer Natalie Jaresko's brother promoted an event at his church honoring the Ukrainian division of the Waffen-SS, and she "liked" it

So for 6 months Myron Wasylyk was Chief Communications Officer for the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center (2019-20). In the 80s he lobbied for the Banderites in Washington DC & before that was president of the radical Mykola Mikhnovsky Student Association (TUSM) in Cleveland...
Who's Mykola Mikhnovsky you might ask?
When Wasylyk headed the DC office of the Banderite-dominated @UkrCongComAm / Ukrainian National Information Service, campaigning against the DOJ's Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations was high on their agenda. Wasylyk hailed from Demjanjuk's adopted hometown of Parma, OH

Recently in Kyiv, right-wing nationalists protested the Ukrainian president Zelenskiy by staging a mock funeral for "justice." Far-right orgs like National Corps, Democratic Axe, and C14's Society of the Future participated. This is a #thread about the girl with the blindfold. ImageImage
Olya Sydii from Lviv is the information and propaganda officer for the OUN-B's Youth Nationalist Congress (MNK), pictured here with int'l OUN-B leader Stefan Romaniw (🇦🇺) at Stepan Bandera's grave in Munich last year for the 50th anniversary of his death. Likely an OUN-B member. Image
As I wrote in this recent article for @DefendingHistor, from 2016-19, the OUN-B's militant, anti-Semitic MNK was a member of the western (including USAID)-funded Reanimation Package of Reforms Coalition. During this time, some doors opened for Sydii. defendinghistory.com/is-usaid-still… ImageImageImage

#Banderites4Biden ImageImageImage
StopFake producer Irena Chalupa was tapped as the spokesperson for the DNC's Ukrainian Americans for Biden in final stretch of the 2020 campaign. In the 1980s she worked in the Munich HQ of OUN-B & the "largest & most important umbrella for former Nazi collaborators in the world" Image
Seems that Chalupa may have met her British Banderite husband via the OUN-B's Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. He was an official advisor to DNC's Ukrainian Americans for Biden

Every few hours (for weeks now) my name pops up on a new spam German porn site along with a bunch of other random names & words lol—can't help but suspect it's revenge for the fact that my stuff sits at the top of a number of Google searches for various Ukrainian diaspora leaders
I suppose this will just continue indefinitely? Haha oh well. At the end of the day it just makes me look more important than I actually am by inflating the number of Google hits for my name, so thank you, I guess, to whoever is responsible
>5000 Google search results (>60% of hits for "Moss Robeson") just disappeared--seemingly all spam sites lol. Interesting...

This Kyiv Post article suggests that the perception in Italy that its Ukrainian community is dominated by radical rightists is just "anti-Ukraine propaganda." So let us take a look at the Italian Ukrainian leader of the #FreeMarkiv campaign, Oles Horodetskyy...
For starters, Horodetskyy met another hero of his in 2014, Right Sector founder Dmytro Yarosh. Seems to credit Mykhailo Ratushny for arranging the meeting--someone who is very well connected to both the Ukrainian diaspora and the far-right in Ukraine: facebook.com/photo?fbid=153…
Horodetskyy is president of the Christian Society of Ukrainians in Italy (CSUI) & coordinated "Euromaidan Rome." CSUI is apparently a member org of @ICSUkraine, the int'l coordinating body of OUN-B affiliated organizations. Horodetskyy & ICSU at Bandera's grave with OUN-B leader:

#Thread Meet Michael Ratushnyy, head of the Ukrainian World Coordinating Council (UWCC). As you can imagine, with such a title, he gets around. Ratushnyy was first elected to the position in 2011 by the 5th World Forum of Ukrainians & re-elected in 2016. Buckle up, as they say... ImageImageImage
The UWCC was set up in accordance with the 1st World Forum of Ukrainians, which took place in Kyiv in 1992. Former Rukh leader Ivan Drach was the first head of the UWCC. It sounds like the UWCC was intended to be a Kyiv-based/oriented counterpart to the diaspora-led @UWCongress.
Ratushnyy was one of a few members of the OUN-B's Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists elected to Ukraine's parliament in 1994 & in 1998. Not sure if/when he left the Banderite political party. In 2000 & 2001 he spoke at the first Center for US-Ukrainian Relations conferences in DC Image
