Leonid Slutsky called the Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine misanthropic

Brief retelling from RIA II

The Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine is associated with the creation of the armed wing of the OUN* and UPA*, said Leonid Slutsky.

According to Slutsky, the celebration of this day is based on a misanthropic ideology, and the Nazis’ henchmen are elevated to the rank of heroes in Ukraine.

The combat wing of the OUN*-UPA* fought against Soviet troops, collaborating with the Nazis, and was responsible for many crimes, including the Volyn massacre.

MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine has a misanthropic ideology and is associated with the creation of the “Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists” (OUN) * - “Ukrainian Insurgent Army *,” Leonid Slutsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, leader of the LDPR, told RIA Novosti.

On Thursday, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine, established in honor of the anniversary of the creation of the armed wing of the OUN* and UPA*.

“The Ukrainian regime is leading the country into the jungle of historical lies in the Nazi-terrorist mix. The celebration of October 1, the day of defenders and defenders of Ukraine, is based on an absolutely misanthropic ideology. The date is supposedly timed to coincide with the creation of the UPA *-OUN,” * said Slutsky.

According to him, these organizations had little in common with the interests of the Ukrainian people, carrying out the sadistic orders of the fascists with particular cruelty. The deputy noted that today the Nazis’ henchmen are again elevated to the rank of heroes in Ukraine and are raised as symbols on the flag of national holidays.

“Only it would be more correct to say - Nazi and terrorist “red dates of the calendar”. What kind of power is thoroughly saturated with the blood of its own people and terror - such are the holidays. Poor Ukraine,” added Slutsky.
