INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

Statement by the Chair of the CPRF Central Committee A real hysteria has swept the West about the alleged “atrocities” of the Russian Army in the city of Bucha located near Kiev. The victims of the “atrocities” were allegedly discovered as soon as our Army left the region. The Russian Federation has declared the necessity to call an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council in order to demand that Ukraine provides evidence. The Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation has already officially denied the accusations, stating that not a single civilian was injured during the location of Russian military formations in this city. Pictures of the so-called “murdered” individuals emerged only four days after the arrival of the Ukrainian troops down there. More other facts testifying the staged nature of this provocation are available. As you know the key line maintained by the political and military leadership of Russia is the one aimed at maximum reduction of civilian casualties as well as

Communist Party of the Russian Federation by Vyacheslav Tetekin Today, as the military operation in Ukraine goes on, it is becoming increasingly evident that the ideological basis of the present Ukrainian government is extreme nationalism, or rather, overt Neo-Nazism. It is the continuation of the pro-fascist Bandera movement which took the side of Hitler’s Germany during its invasion of the USSR in 1941-19445. After the defeat of the Bandera movement in 1953 Nazism hunkered down. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and Ukraine’s independence Bandera Neo-Nazism reared its head again. Creeping Nazification of Ukraine was greatly aided by the USA which after 1991 strongly encouraged extreme nationalist elements in Western Ukraine. In fact, the CIA was the most active sponsor of Bandera terrorist groups in Western Ukraine between 1945 and 1953. It is not surprising that the Neo-Nazi Banderaites, well-organised and well-trained ideologically and physically, carried out the stat

Communist Party of the Russian Federation   by V N Tetekin Many comrades are asking about the character of hostilities in Ukraine. The assessment prevalent so far has been imposed by the Western media. However, by now the nature of the Russian Armed Forces operation to liberate Ukraine from Nazism has become apparent. What prompted the start of the special operation? Beginning from December 2021 Russia had been receiving data on NATO’s plans to deploy troops and missile bases in Ukraine. Simultaneously an onslaught on the territory of Donbas was being prepared. About a week before the start of Russia’s special operation the plan was uncovered of an offensive that envisaged strikes by long-range artillery, multiple rocket launchers, aviation, to be followed by an invasion of Ukrainian troops and Nazi battalions. It was planned to cut off the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) from the border with Russia, encircle and besiege Donetsk, Lugansk and other ci

Communist Party of the Russian Federation   by Vyacheslav Tetekin There is a war in Ukraine Outwardly, it looks like an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. All political forces, including Left, have spoken out about these events. The range of assessments: from humanistic-emotional ("people are dying, stop the war") to purely class ("The West is pushing two oligarchic regimes"). In fact, this conflict has deep roots. When analysing the situation, we must consider both the national content of the class struggle and the class content of the national struggle. What is Ukraine? The territory of present-day Ukraine until the middle of the 17th Century was a sparsely populated space, contested by neighbouring countries. By the beginning of the 20th Century the lands of present-day Ukraine were divided between Poland, Austria-Hungary and Russia. After 1917 revolution some of these lands temporarily declared independence. In 1922 however, they joined the USSR as the U
