’s Ambassador to speaks out and begs the Mayor of Poltava not to pave over a major Holocaust killing site for a real estate development. It’s very sad that this happens so often in Ukraine and other East European countries.

Parliament ( , ) to hold a one-sided event in far-right spirit of revisionism on 19 June: militias of June 1941 glorified yet again. Very sad.

reporter "chilling out" with neo-Nazi hate group Azov? That uses the SS Wolfsangel logo as their logo? And many of whose soldiers at various times have been seen with Swastikas? And whom was caught out by Germany's Spiegel recuriting German neo-Nazis? C'mon

A generally fine article but one major error: author naively accepts far right "Holocaust fixing" of Europe's most dishonest museum. Please see . (Moreover, it's a fake history that only plays into Putin's evil hands).

Thats one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen since I joined Twitter. She blessed a boy for his decision to join a neo-Nazi battalion in ?! Good G-d. I understand why FB wants someone for that position, but couldn’t they have found someone with more moderate views?

Well I empathize with them being attacked by right wing or neo-Nazi types. Certainly have had similar experiences in Lithuania over the years for daring to question the bona fides of the Nazi collaborators lionized by the Lithuanian Gov’t as heroes

Recommending this account on . Seems to be unafraid to call out links between Gov’t and neo-Nazi extremists, yet also seems to genuinely want the best for the country. Proves there’s no conflict between these 2 things

So this school in Western is named after a regional leader of the Auxiliary Police, a force which collaborated closely with the Nazis in implementing the Holocaust. And now they dress these kids up to celebrate the murderous UPA

Concerns growing that forces in the US Embassy in Vilnius, in place for a DECADE, have been manipulated into covering for state Holocaust obfuscation & revisionism, & mixing in internal Jewish community politics on the wrong (=undemocratic) side of things.

It should be noted that in his autobiography, Stetsko endorsed the Nazi solution for Jews. And his Independence Proclamation of 1941 for a new OUN fascist state, made after the Nazi invasion, pledged loyalty to Hitler. OUN was like Ustashi, the Croatian fascist puppet state
