Oleh Tyahnybok: who is he?

[StasKO]

Is he a true nationalist? Is he a simple terrorist? Or finally is he just a political punch? Let’s try to sort it out right now. Well now look, Tyahnybok is the leader of our Ukrainian rather well-known nationalistic party called "Freedom". This is fact. His "Freedom", as it is known, gives its all-out support to numerous neofascist organizations here. This is also fact. Then during the last year’s presidential election, in their turn UNA-UNSO members actively supported Oleh Tyahnybok’s candidature - provided security for himself, for his family and for all his supporters. The UNA-UNSO is the most prominent nationalist radical political organization in our country. You know it. As well as you should know that today it is an open secret that some battleworthy UNA-UNSO units consist of most wanted international war criminals from the formerly existing Yugoslavia – Croats, Bosnian muslims, all they currently hide here, got our Ukrainian citizenship and share here their subversive experience with their newly-fledged accomplices. Like it? Didn’t you notice that instead of different street rallies and public demonstrations we used to see here on behalf of our neofascist youths, now they prefer to undertake full-scaled terrorist attacks all over the country? Hope, you did. So let me conclude all it: Oleh Tyahnybok, being a Ukrainian politician, hides and supports here internationally wanted criminals. Oleh Tyahnybok personally stands behind radical stirring up of ethnic conflicts in our multiethnic country. Oleh Tyahnybok gives his personal financial support to openly terrorist organizations. And finally Oleh Tyahnybok is directly responsible for organization of all the recent terrorist attacks in this country. After all it, I’ll myself answer the questions I asked in the very beginning of this post. Is Oleh Tyahnybok is a political punch? I say - yes, he is. Is he a terrorist? Yes, he is. Is he a true nationalist? No, he isn’t – he’s a simple terrorist.

I'm glad you posted this. Once the paid-to-post "members" start to talk about Tyahnybok, you know he, and his party (Svoboda), are becoming well known in Ukraine. They will continue to gain even more political power, and hopefully will gain even more popularity at the next presidential election.

Have you guys been told to lay off Tymoshenko until the charges are cleared up?

Ironic how anti-Ukrainian policies of the POR are what's causing Svoboda to grow. They create their own enemies.
