The π¨π¦ VOC memorial's virtual "Pathway to Liberty" includes at least a dozen members of the Banderite faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and/or Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which largely perpetrated the Holocaust by Bullets in western Ukraine.
Many know by now that Nazi collaborator / ethnic cleanser Roman Shukhevych, UPA commander and the OUN-B leader in Ukraine (1943-50), is part of the "Pathway to Liberty." His "virtual brick" was donated by the "League of Ukrainian Canadians," an OUN-B front cbc.ca/news/politics/β¦
The League of Ukrainian Canadians (LUC) and its Women's Auxiliary dedicated virtual bricks to nine other people, at least five of them members of the OUN-B and/or UPA, such as Mykola Koshyk, National President of the Society of Veterans of UPA in Canada, as well as...
Petro Mycak, 94, UPA veteran and leading member of the OUN-B, longtime president of the Windsor branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, seen here with the international OUN-B leader in what I believe is the OUN-B headquarters building in Kyiv based on the Bandera portrait.
The Buduchnist Credit Union, the largest Ukrainian financial institution in Canada, is controlled by members of the Banderite LUC and in turn the OUN-B. (Allegedly the CEO of BCU Financial Group is the present-day OUN-B leader in Canada.)
The BCU ("Banderite Credit Union"?) dedicated virtual bricks to Roman Malashchuk (circled left, with Bandera), presumably a war criminal, as well as Volodymyr Okipniuk (circled right, with OUN-B leader Romaniw), another leading OUN-B member in Canada.
Buduchnist Credit Union also sponsored a virtual brick in memory of Vasyl Bezchlibnyk, a member of the OUN-B's Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine (today AKA the LUC) and the Canadian branch of the Banderite-led Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations
And then there's the Ian Ihnatowycz Family Foundation, which I know nothing about, that paid for a brick in memory of Evhen Wreciona, "a senior OUN figure and former head of the 'Ukrainian Police' in Lviv" -- presumably a war criminal -- who worked for the CIA during the Cold War

Chris Alexander, π¨π¦ politician who smeared @davidpugliese as a Russian/KGB agent, is a friend of the "Bandera Lobby," living members of which helped to generate a similar smear campaign against Ted Kennedy being a Soviet agent. In 2017, Alexander touted one (1) endorsement for his bid to lead the Conservatives: Yuri Shymko, former MP and then-president of the @ICSUkraine, international coordinating body of OUN-B "facade structures." Below you can see them at a Banderite cultural center in Etobicoke, with Stepan Bandera and other OUN portraits just out of frame. One of the @ICSUkraine members is the "Center for Study of the Liberation Movement" on Stepan Bandera street in Lviv, via which the OUN-B has infiltrated @Uinp_gov_ua and archives of the Security Service of Ukraine, successor of the KGB in Ukraine--said to be the source of Alexander's alleged documents on Pugliese. I haven't seen any signs that the Canadian Banderites saw this hatchet job coming, but it would make sense if the "Bandera Lobby" had a role in this. Alexander's pitch to them in 2017: "If you help me become Conservative leader and prime minister of Canada, we will be driving this agenda forward together every day."
Last year, as the Kyiv Post's "character assassination" expert wrote that "David Pugliese has come to the attention of officials in Kyiv," the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine labeled him an anti-Ukrainian propagandist. This year, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) invited Pugliese nemesis(?) Lubomyr Luciuk from Canada to lecture students at the National Academy of SBU. Luciuk, notorious defender of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators, might not be a sworn OUN-B member, but he is definitely a "Banderite." Meanwhile, a full-blown OUN-B member (Andriy Kohut) serves as director of the SBU archives in Ukraine. x.com/nsanzo/status/β¦
In December 2022, Chris Alexander made the keynote speech at an awards ceremony organized by Canadians from the Banderite-dominated BCU Financial Group in Toronto, which has supported the production of far-right literature in Ukraine. As a friend of @ICSUkraine, he probably realized that he was addressing members of the international OUN-B network. "It is so fantastic to see so many [Ukrainian community] leaders in this room tonight, who are connected to leaders across Canada, across North America, around the world, and above all, back home in Kyiv." That awards ceremony honored Alik Gomelsky, token Jewish ally of the Canadian Banderites, according to whom "Bandera had nothing against Jews ... So propaganda just brainwashed this people." Toward the end of his speech, Alexander declared, "We should all be doing what President Zelensky asks of us!" And what about the SBU, in order to handle a pesky mainstream journalist in Ottawa? "Get them out of here," he said about alleged Russian intelligence agents, "still sitting in Ottawa, in Toronto, in Canadian missions ... And send the gray zone illegal networks that they support, that they water and nurture, send them packing as well!"
There are a lot of disturbing videos on that Telegram channel (~264k subscribers) including the Christchurch massacre ("full video in good quality"). On Instagram, where they have 600k followers, the "Ragnarock" brand/group has indicated that it's connected to AZOV & @DI_Ukraine
The admin of "Ragnarock" created a personal Instagram account where he's uploaded clips of "my war." In these videos of his, we see someone with an Azov patch, and a fighter from Azov's unit in πΊπ¦ Special Operation Forces that created the 3rd Assault Brigade (now touring Europe)
Jr. Sgt. Volodymyr Vernyhora is sitting on the left, appears to have a patch from the Azov Brigade's Mykola Stsiborskyi school (named for fascist OUN ideologue who "envisioned the state as a 'natiocracy,' an ethnically defined totalitarianism"-@parudling)
Lt. Arseniy Fedosiuk has been photographed with people making Nazi salutes. His laptop has a sticker of the hardcore neo-Nazi paramilitary group ("Patriot of Ukraine") that spawned Azov. He followed an overtly neo-Nazi VK account "12 years not a slave" (referring to 1933-45)
Part 3 π§΅β Some have said Azov can't be neo-Nazi, because one of its most famous fighters is of "Jewish origin." After losing a leg in Azovstal and being freed in a prisoner exchange, Ruslan "David" Serbov visited Israel for rehabilitation, which he used to promote πΊπ¦ Nazi brands
"David" was among the Azov fighters flown to Mariupol by πΊπ¦ military intelligence after π·πΊ invaded. Here he is in
Azovstal with Oleksandr Kravtsov, the Hitler-tattooed commander of the "ΠΠ΅Π΄ΠΌΠ΅Π΄Ρ SS," an openly neo-Nazi squad that fought with Azov Regiment.
Azov's "myth-busting" website () says that "David" went to Israel in November 2022. By February 2023 he visited the Dead Sea, wearing a hoodie that says "NS," which is a double entendre: "National Socialist" and "North Side," the name of this neo-Nazi brand azovcontrafake.com
According to his LinkedIn account, Smelyansky has worked in Tel Aviv for years and has "native or bilingual" proficiency in Hebrew + Russian, but he obviously identifies as a πΊπ¦ neo-Nazi. Here he is with Azov leader Andriy Biletsky, wearing πΊπ¦ Nazi brands "SvaStone" and "REICH."
Smelyansky's a big fan of SvaStone owned by Arseniy Bilodub, a leader of extremist Right Sector & the neo-Nazi band "Sokyra Peruna." Smelyansky has one of their "V Legion" shirts & his private Instagram quotes one of their songs. He met Bilodub last year.
