More that 60 years ago, the world fought one of its greatest battles against evil- the battle against fascism. For over half a century, this ideology has been condemned by EVERYONE, or should I say almost everyone. I know, seems impossible, right? Well, that’s what I thought also before I heard what is happening in some Eastern European countries.
During the Second World War, the Soviet Union took over most of the European countries in order to “liberate” them of fascism and the influence of the Nazis. Contrary to the beliefs of many, the Eastern European countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and already Soviet Ukraine had already established anti-Semitic, so called “nationalist” groups sponsored by the SS of Hitler’s Germany. It is quite surprising since that particular area was full of Jews and supposedly had great anti-Nazi beliefs. Well, I guess we were wrong.
AS of today countries like Estonia and Ukraine take pride in the fact that they fought bravely against Soviet occupationists while siding with the SS. Now I understand the strong Nationalistic feelings and the strong hatred for the Soviets, especially Stalin. But the fact that shocks me is that these people actually PRAISE the work of Nazis.
Vandals in Estonia take down Soviet monuments and desecrate Soviet graves. Now if that’s not enough, in Ukraine the other day, former SS veterans were marching down the streets of Kiev. They were joined by Ukrainian political figures as well as Ukrainian pop stars.
Now I understand the fact that these countries hate Russia’s guts. I also understand that they want to get into the European Union as well as join NATO. What I don’t understand is the lack of RESPECT these people have. They praise SS leaders such as Bandera, by claiming that they fought for the country’s nationalistic causes. Now do they praise Hitler too?
It just saddens me that we are now raising new generations of Neo-Fascists, who are brainless enough to believe what they hear, and who now consider Nazis to be the good guys. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic!

15 Disasters, thank you very much. I am Vladimir (from the DMMB). I am to live in that shit - those monsters were marching on streets of Kiev, though the great part (the most) of people here can't stand even the name of Bandera. Don't think we are fascists, no - only West Ukraine people think those mother****ers are their heroes. Other part of Ukraine was fighting in that war against fascists (for example, 3 of 4 my grandfathers - one of them was killed) - within Red army; plus most of us hate NATO and want it to get away from our borders... These were a few corrections of your practically truthful text. If I have more time and inspiration I'll write a full explanation of that Estonian-Ukrainian shame - it's so much to write and everything of it should be written.
Thank you.. Once i saw that on the news, tears started rolling down my face...I can't believe that thsi can happen in a country that fought against fascism.. My great grandfather fought against them and this is waht we get.. horrible, simply horrible..
