Russia's VKontakte CEO says he was fired, flees Russia

(Reuters) - Pavel Durov, the founder of VKontakte, Russia's largest social network, said on Tuesday he was fired and had fled the country as allies of the Kremlin gained full control of the site.

Known as Russia's answer to Facebook, VKontakte (VK) has been the focus of an ownership battle since last April, when the United Capital Partners (UCP) fund bought 48 percent of the company's shares.

Because the international community has access to more than just Russian propaganda and exercises independent thought and due diligence instead of believing what Russia tells them to believe.

For the sake of information, after a quite of digging as you won't find this piece in western MSM, I present you who are the Neo-Nazi figures holding important seats in Ukrainian parliament.

First some background on "Svoboda" party and "Right Sector":

Svoboda ("Freedom") was founded in 1991 as the Social National Party of Ukraine.

The party idolizes Stepan Bandera, whose followers fought on the side of the Nazis during World War II against the Red Army and Ukrainian communist militias.

Bandera’s Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) had direct support from the Germans: Hitler wanted them to police Ukraine after the Germans took it, and the OUN organized volunteer militias that actively participated in the Holocaust.

"The Jews of the Soviet Union," declared the Banderists, "are the most loyal supporters of the Bolshevik Regime and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in the Ukraine."

When the Germans took Lvov in the summer of 1941, the Banderists sent a message to Lvov’s Jews in the form of a pamphlet which said: "We will lay your heads at Hitler’s feet"!
Which they did; the OUN worked with the SS to round up and slaughter 4,000 of the city’s Jews. Their weapons of choice: everything from guns to metal poles.

Right Sector (Ukrainian: Пра́вий се́ктор, Pravyi Sektor) is a Ukrainian nationalist political party and paramilitary collective of several organizations, described by some major publications as having far right, nationalist, or ultranationalist views.

The group claims to have at least 5,000 to 10,000 members.

It first emerged at the end of November 2013 at the Euromaidan protests in Kiev, as an alliance of far-right Ukrainian nationalist groups and the Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defence (UNA-UNSO).

Neo-Nazis holding important seats in Ukrainian parliament and government:

1. Oleh Tyahnybok, Svoboda leader, now a top official of the Ukrainian Parliament, is an unrepentant anti-Semite.
In the summer of 2004, he made a speech to his followers at the gravesite of a Banderist commander in which he declared: "You are the ones that the Moscow-Jewish mafia ruling Ukraine fears most."

His peroration also made reference to "Kikes" as prominent among those the Banderists fought.
Tyahnybok was expelled from Parliament for his remarks, but the "revolution" has installed him back in his seat – and more powerful than ever.

2. Ihor Tenyukh, interim defense minister and a member of Svoboda’s political council. Formerly commander of Ukraine’s navy, in 2008, during Russia’s war with Georgia, he ordered Ukrainian warships to block the entrance of the Russian Navy to the bay of Sevastopol.

3. Andriy Parubiy, National Security Council chief, co-founded Svoboda back when it was the “Social National” (ahem!) party.

4. Dmytro Yarosh, deputy head of the National Security Council, i.e. the police, and the founder-leader of "Right Sector," a militant neo-Nazi paramilitary group that took charge of security in the Maiden.

5. Oleh Makhnitsky, Svoboda member of parliament, is prosecutor-general.

6. Oleksandr Sych, Svoboda parliamentarian and the party’s chief ideologist, is deputy prime minister for economic affairs.

7. Serhiy Kvit, a leading member of Svoboda, is to head up the Education Ministry.

8. Andriy Moknyk, the new Minister of Ecology, has been Svoboda’s envoy to other European fascist parties.
Last year, he met with representatives of Italy’s violent neo-fascist gang, Forza Nuovo.

9. Ihor Shvaika, agro-oligarch and a member of Svoboda, has been appointed Minister of Agriculture. One of the richest men in the country, his massive investments in agriculture would seem to indicate a slight conflict of interest.

check this one out, somewhere in the middle of this clip you can see a member of Ukrainian parliament from Svoboda party making a speech about 'fallen heros'. Absolutely amazing to think that these people are in power today, sponzored by US&EU. Where is this world going to?

'In the former Soviet republic Ukraine controversial video has surfaced showing the reburial of Ukrainians who fought for an SS Division during World War Two, and the reburial was sanctioned by church officials and overseen by officials dressed in Nazi uniforms.'

Why are you approving declared Neo-Nazis to be part of Ukraine leadership?

Talking with Poland’s foreign minister about the Ukraine crisis and Russia’s next moves

on the proposal by Putin to break Ukraine into smaller bits and hand out those pieces to surrounding countries.

Somebody told me that you heard Putin talking out loud about dividing Ukraine awhile ago. Is that true?

Oh yes, President Putin made a speech at the Bucharest NATO Summit in 2008, at which he spoke about Ukraine as an artificial country put together from bits of other countries. And yes, we have received a letter from the deputy speaker of the Russian Duma, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, proposing that Poland take five provinces of Ukraine. He sent similar letters to Hungary and Romania, also making territorial proposals to them.


When?

It was a month ago. We told him we were not doing it.

Because it's not about any community, local or international, it's about a small group of private interest, regardless if they call themselves Zionist, NWO, Neo-Nazis, Corporate elite, or whatever else, they are all the same people with the same agenda - total world domination and its depopulation.

They use the same old fears to use and manipulate public opinion to hide their agenda.

China and Russia seem to be some of the last partially independent powers that are able to make their own decision, and protect them.

When exact same crap as in all these "revolutions" was attempted in China, and Chinese Muslims were agitated to go against Chinese government, over 270 of them were simply mowed down by the Chinese army.

Hi all,

I just don't get it..how come east Ukranian people are called terrorists? Women, children, seniors. Hey, what's up with that and how any one in their sane mind sucks it all up?

..and a reminder for all participants on this thread, this people in SE Ukraine are NOT 'pro-russian'!!!!!

They don't want to lose their country to neither side. These people for federalization. Meaning, INDEPENDENCE from all.
'pro-russian' term is garbage, silently making its way into understanding the issues wrongfully!

Bravo! You seem to understand. The innocent people get caught in between.

I have not said one single thing pro-western nor advocated for EU or USA intervention and yet I am demonized for speaking out against Putin and the nature of this terrible new threat, namely Russian fascism.

You are exactly right that the people of Eastern Ukraine are not a majority pro-Russian and do not support any invasion or annexation. The whole idea of ethnic dichotomy is a propaganda wedge. Most Ukrainians have ethnic Russian in them and nearly all speak Russian as their family language. And yet the demons of nationalism and chauvinism taunt them nightly on state controlled television broadcast from Moscow.

The only thing I have done, and will continue to do, is defend the truth that Euromaidan was a result of a native grassroots movement, not some CIA or other western intelligence spawn. This is more an internal issue facing the entire Ukrainian and yes, Russian people—choose the strong man and surrender to continued corruption and mistreatment in civil affairs or diffuse absolute power. It is about confronting a legacy of internal repression and terror that was never completely settled as Stalin was never defeated but merely denounced after his death.

I have come to understand this so very well while in the midst of Russian intellectuals and belligerents alike. Personally, I was forced to contemplate their pathos first while growing up in the utter chaos of a proxy war fought between the Soviet Union and the West in my own beautiful and ancient culture. Thousands of years uprooted because of outside interference!

For the sake of our better humanity, do not equate being against Russia's actions at present with being in support of the USA or Europe's actions in the past.

You can stand against fascism and abuse of the weak in every powerful nation.

Anybody who just attacks one side reveals their jingoism and hypocrisy.

Oh, so now Yanukovich didn't do enough, right? So when the Neo-Nazi "Svoboda" party is openly supported by USA and by John McCain personally, and Yanukovich tries to dissolve it he's not doing enough and is a dictator at the same time, but when he refuses to give the order to shoot the exact same people during Maidan, he's also some sort of evil character.

Actually I am using your position.

Currently you constantly state the entire government in Kiev is Nazi neo fascist etc when in fact they are not. I was pointing out the contradiction you showed by narrowly applying the Nazi funeral to one party.

Why the discrepancy? Why is Yanukovych and the other members of the Ukraine government at that time not Nazis but they all are now?

Convenience?
Propaganda?
Ignorance?
Confusion?
Or is it when they support Russia there is a difference and when they stop supporting Russia they are all Nazis?
