Russia slams West over Ukraine political crisis

NOVANEWS Ukrainian protesters clash with police on Independence Square in Kiev, November 30, 2013. Russia has criticized Western nations for interfering in Ukraine, saying protests against Kiev’s decision to back away from an EU deal were destabilizing the former Soviet state. The Russian parliament, the State Duma, in a non-binding statement on Tuesday urged the West to “stop mounting external pressure on the politics of a country that is brotherly to us.” The lower house of parliament also called on Ukrainian opposition forces to “stop illegal actions” over the political crisis, which began when Ukraine decided not to sign a European Union Association Agreement. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Kiev in the largest protests since the 2004-2005 Western-spo...

Surprise, surprise–In Ukraine protests, young Jews are marching with ultranationalists

NOVANEWS ed note–and in what other ‘nationalist’ groups can ‘young jews’ be found marching as well? JTA On the last evening in November, at least 31 protesters were taken into custody and dozens treated for injuries following a violent confrontation with Ukrainian police in Kiev’s Independence Square. But that wasn’t enough to intimidate the crowds who have occupied the main square of the capital since November 21. Thousands showed up the following morning, including a young woman carrying a 10-liter pot of fresh borscht to help the crowd through another cold day on the square. It was “like a carnival,” said Dmitri Gerasimov, 32, a Jewish klezmer musician who has taken part in the protests. “I didn’t feel any aggression in the crowd. It was like a public holiday.” The ongoing protests — ...

Ukraine: Jewish Supremacists Object to Being Named as Responsible for Manmade Famine

NOVANEWS A news report in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency from Kiev in the Ukraine has reported that Jewish supremacists have lodged an official objection to a criminal case brought over the “Great Famine” committed in the 1930s.  The nation’s security service is pressing the case against officials accused of committing the Holodomor, which caused the deaths of millions in Ukraine in 1932-33. Most of the names on the list were Jewish. Ukrainian lawmaker Aleksandr Feldman, leader of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, said last week that it was “a farce” to press the case. “All organizers of the Great Famine are dead,” he said. Last July, the Ukrainian Security Service released a list of high-ranking Soviet state and Communist Party officials — as well as officials from NKVD, the police force o...

Stalin and the Ukranian Massacre

NOVANEWS   by Eric Margolis   Five years ago, I wrote a column about the unknown Holocaust in Ukraine. I was shocked to receive a flood of mail from young Americans and Canadians of Ukrainian descent telling me that until they read my article, they knew nothing of the 1932—33 genocide in which Stalin’s regime murdered 7 million Ukrainians and sent 2 million to concentration camps. How, I wondered, could such historical amnesia afflict so many young North-American Ukrainians? For Jews and Armenians, the genocides their people suffered are vivid, living memories that influence their daily lives. Yet today, on the 70th anniversary of the destruction of a quarter of Ukraine’s population, this titanic crime has almost vanished into history’s black hole. So has the extermination ...

UKRAINIAN Kids: VICTIMS OF ZIONIST ORGAN THEFT

NOVANEWS An international Zionist conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs gathering momentum as another shocking story divulges Zionist regime plot importUkrainian children and harvest their organs. The story brings to light the fact that Zionist gang from the Zio-Nazi state of ‘Israel’ has brought some 25,000 Ukrainian children into the occupied entity over the past two years in order to harvest their organs. It cites a Ukrainian man's fruitless search for 15 children who had been adopted in ‘Israel’. The children had clearly been taken by Zionist medical centers, where they were used for 'spare parts'. The account was unveiled five days ago by a Ukrainian philosophy professor and author, Vyacheslav Gudin, at a pseudo-academic conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. Gudi...

UKRAINIAN STARVED TO DEATH

Ukrainian Jewish Committee Embraces Holodomor “Denial” The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор translation: death by starvation) refers to the famine of 1932-1933 in the Ukrainian SSR during which millions of people were starved to death because of the Soviet policies that forced farmers into collective farms. The Holodomor is considered one of the greatest national calamities to affect the Ukrainian nation in modern history. Millions of inhabitants of Ukraine (between 7000000 -10 000000) died of starvation in an unprecedented peacetime catastrophe. If any historian or researcher in Europe dares to question any part of the accepted Holocaust story, he is subject to imprisonment and ruin, but as usual, Jewish extremist hypocrisy is rampant. Jewish supremacists don’t want the world to know of ...
