Many people like @StephenKing have no idea who Bandera was but call him Ukrainian hero. My study shows that the leader of semi-fascist OUN, which collaborated with Nazis & perpetrated mass murder of Jews, Poles & Ukrainians, is not very popular in #Ukraine researchgate.net/publication/26…
@StephenKing My study shows that region & perceptions of their involvement in mass murder were strongest predictors of views concerning #bandera faction of OUN, UPA & Bandera in #Ukraine. Their public support was strongest in Galicia & weakest in #Donbas & #Crimea. researchgate.net/publication/28…
My study analyzes mass murder of Poles by Ukrainian Insurgent Army and Bandera faction of Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists during Nazi occupation of Volhynia in Western #Ukraine preprints.apsanet.org/engage/apsa/ar…
Archival documents that I found in FDR Library & National Archives reveal that FBI & Secret Service investigated reports of Nazi plot to use Bandera OUN terrorist to assassinate President Roosevelt & OUN assistance in assassination of king of Yugoslavia & French foreign minister

"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that the geographical objectives of Moscow's "special military operation" in Ukraine are no longer limited to the eastern Donbas region but include a number of other territories." #Ukraine#Russia#UkraineRussiaWar
Various self-proclaimed experts now openly whitewash neo-Nazi & other far-right in #Ukraine & overwhelming evidence of their involvement in Maidan & Odesa massacres & other violence & smear scholars for their academic studies of such far-right involvement in mass killings.
They deny Maidan snipers despite videos, audio & photos, confessions by 14 members of Maidan sniper groups, testimonies by absolute majority of wounded Maidan protesters & over 500 witnesses & forensic examinations by #Ukraine government experts & cover-up researchgate.net/publication/34…
They whitewash far-right & other Maidan mass murderers in #Ukraine by means of smearing me & my academic studies & by fabricating evidence documented in videos, Maidan massacre trial, >500 eyewitness testimonies & forensic medical & ballistic examinations
"Speaking to CNN anchor ... Bolton suggested Trump was not competent enough to pull off a "carefully planned coup d'etat," later adding: "As somebody who has helped plan coups d'etat - not here but you know (in) other places - it takes a lot of work." reuters.com/world/us/forme…
Bolton's admission of planning coups in foreign countries is not as striking as many people denying such US involvement as "conspiracy theories" because of ignorance & partisanship,
My APSA Annual Meeting paper "uses political science theories of wars, mass protests, coups, revolutions, and regime changes and empirical analysis to examine the nature of the Russia-Ukraine war and the political transition in Ukraine during the Maidan." convention2.allacademic.com/one/apsa/apsa2…
"Ukraine is massing a million-strong fighting force equipped with western weapons to recover its southern territory from Russia, the nation’s defence minister has revealed to The Times." #Ukrainewar 1/ thetimes.co.uk/article/ukrain…
"In his first interview with a British newspaper since the invasion began, Oleksii Reznikov said President Zelensky had ordered Ukraine’s military to retake occupied coastal areas which are vital to the country’s economy." #UkraineRussiaWar#RussiaUkraineWar#Ukraine#war 2/
Defense minister of #Ukraine: "I am sure that in the next few years we will see a number of calls for sovereignty on the territory of Russia. The Russian Federation will end its existence as different countries - Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, etc." #Russia#RussiaUkraineWar 3/
I called such claims by politicians, media & self-proclaimed experts fairy tales & gambling against all odds many lives of #Ukrainians & territory of Ukraine on expectations that #Ukraine would defeat #Russia in spite of Russian military advantage. foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukrai…
"Ukraine’s leaders and its backers speak as if victory is just around the corner. But that view increasingly appears to be a fantasy. Ukraine and the West should therefore reconsider their ambitions and shift ...toward a diplomatic compromise that ends the fighting."
Live: Just 5 people watch on YouTube live broadcast of the Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine. Trial completed examination of all evidence & now starts closing arguments. It revealed overwhelming evidence about massacre of protesters by Maidan snipers. 1/
But various politicians, #media & self-proclaimed experts, who falsely claim that Berkut police or government snipers massacred Maidan protesters & that existence of Maidan snipers is conspiracy theory, need no evidence from trial of century in #Ukraine 2/ researchgate.net/publication/35…
Even absolute majority of wounded Maidan protestors testified at Maidan massacre trial or investigation in #Ukraine that they were shot by snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings & areas or witnessed snipers there. Prosecution denies snipers existence! 3/
