The claim that #Stalin deliberately organized a famine in 1932 in order to exterminate the Ukrainian nation stems from the arsenal of #Nazi & OUN-B falsifications of history, as Clara Weiss proves in detail in two articles published this week on the @WSWS_Updates website.
The claim was used by the Ukrainian fascists during #WWII to justify their cooperation with the #Nazis.
It was advocated, among others, by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), led by Stepan #Bandera, who collaborated with Nazis in the actual genocide of millions.
Historians, journalists, teachers or ordinary citizens who contradict this “genocide”claim risk up to three years in prison. (Two months ago, the Bundestag strengthened paragraph 130 of the Criminal Code accordingly.)
If I lived in Germany I could be imprisoned for this thread!
As an American citizen journalist & historian, I will continue to exercise my #FreeSpeech and #FreePress rights to bring you the news and hidden history that is now literally against the law to speak or write about in #Ukraine and #Germany.

Pell deleted the list of “captive nations,” some of which (“Idel-Ural”;“Cossackia”) were “invented in the Nazi propaganda ministry,” according to George Kennan, the architect of anti-Soviet “containment strategy.” Sen. Pell removed references to “Communist Russian imperialism.”
The Cold War was over, but not for all. The NCNC vigorously denounced Sen. Pell’s amendment. The organization requested Congressional hearings on “our inadequate policies in East Europe and Siberia,” apparently in order to promote the goal of breaking up the Russian Federation.
Over half a decade, dozens of CIA operatives took part in PROJECT RED SOX.
#Ukraine’s bloody insurgency was the operation’s centerpiece. And it was in Ukraine that, as one scholar wrote, the CIA saw one of its “most pronounced failures of the Cold War.”
Yet, back in Washington, concerns started to grow. On the one hand, there was the reality of who the US government was actually linking up with: #NazisInUkraine
The CIA’s new friends, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, had already been linked directly to #Nazi atrocities in the region.
“They were Nazis, pure and simple,” one CIA operations chief said. “Worse than that, because a lot of them did the Nazis’ dirty work for them.”
In 1945, PLAN TOTALITY envisioned a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union with 20 to 30 atomic bombs.
It earmarked 20 Soviet cities for obliteration in a nuclear first strike: (list of cities in thread 🧵) 👇🏽 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Tota…
Moscow, Gorky, Kuybyshev, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Saratov, Kazan, Leningrad, Baku, Tashkent, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Molotov, Tbilisi, Stalinsk, Grozny, Irkutsk, and Yaroslavl were all US nuclear targets in 1945.
However, this was impossible to carry out in 1945, because the United States didn’t have enough nukes (yet) to carry out the bombing campaign against the Soviet Union.
British PM Winston Churchill instructed his Joint Military Staff to draft an invasion plan of Russia using British, German, and American troops. (He hadn't told the Americans about this yet, or most of his own military staff.)
Imagine how this strategic meeting went:
“Yes, splendid. We shall invade the country who just saved our arses from the Nazis! Let’s convince the Americans to drop that new nuclear bomb on the Russians! I mean, they have to try it out somewhere, let’s nuke a few Soviet cities!”
In 1953, the CIA set up a radio station in #Ukraine to “provide a wedge that can be driven deeper between the Soviets and the Ukrainians and would exacerbate existing suspicions and antagonisms between the two ethnic factions.”
The #Ukraine black propaganda op was run by Mykola Lebed, a convicted Ukrainian #Nazi war criminal & murderer who was Stepan #Bandera’s right hand man.
Lebed was personally recruited into the CIA by Allen Dulles and brought to NYC to found “Prolog Research,” a CIA front.
How evil was Mykola Lebed?
Quite evil, as you can see. 👇🏽
The CIA thought he was just the man they were looking for to help them stir up civil war in the #USSR between #Russia and #Ukraine.
For months now, you’ve heard me talking a blue streak about how the #CIA funded, armed, recruited, and trained #NazisInUkraine dating back to the late 1940’s.
It was a project known as AERODYNAMIC.
Rather than listen to me rave on about it, watch this
While I disagree with Adam Fitzgerald’s assessment of #Putin, his research and facts about the CIA’s Project AERODYNAMIC in #Ukraine is 100% accurate.
Here’s 58 pages of formerly classified TOP SECRET documents on the CIA’s Project AERODYNAMIC— in which the US government worked with #NazisInUkraine during the 1950’s.
