Why did #fascism flourish in #Ukraine after #WWII?
Because the CIA encouraged it with well funded “black propaganda” programs such as CARTEL and AERODYNAMIC, targeting #Nazi insurgents in the #USSR to keep fighting #Russia.
The 🇺🇸 CIA and 🇬🇧 MI6 ran the programs jointly.

After the war, the UPA continued its struggle against the Soviets for another 15 years (with 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇧 help).
The Ukrainian insurrection would eventually claim more than 35,000 Soviet lives, making it twice as costly to the U.S.S.R. than the Afghan War. militaryhistorynow.com/2014/03/03/stu…

By the spring of 1945, the Ukrainian #Nazi resistance had been effectively crushed — an estimated 90,000 UPA fighters were dead and a comparable number had been captured. For their part, the Soviets lost 12,000 troops in the campaign but were again in control of western Ukraine.

They kept fighting #Russia in a brutal guerrilla war funded and run by the CIA and British MI6 for nearly two more decades.
