In the wake of the protester-imposed regime change in Ukraine the big question was how the neo-Nazi themed Right Sector and the pro-West bureaucrats from the old Tymoshenko government would be able to work together. The answer is, they’re not.
The split of the Right Sector from the rest of the “interim government” came dramatically today with the death of Oleksandr Muzychko, a top Right Sector leader, wanted for war crimes in Russia for his involvement in the Chechen War, slain under disputed circumstances during a police shootout.
At least “police shootout” is the official story from the interim government. The Right Sector claims a conspiracy, and that Muzychko was loaded into a car alive and well, before being shot twice and dumped on the street elsewhere in the city.
Muzychko had made no secret of his dislike for the interim Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, threatening repeatedly to kill him in the past several weeks. Right Sector MP Roman Koval vowed the faction would “avenge ourselves on Avakov for the death of our brother.
I think he was involved in Maidan sniper shootings. Recently the Interior Ministry stated that they knew the snipers were Ukrainians, but said no more. Had to be silenced.
Dead men tell no tales
…of Maidan snipers.
I guess the west need not worry too much about what neo-fascists governing Ukraine might mean down the road since their coalition partners seem to be excising the tumor on their own.
Hey McCrazy!! are these the guys you want the US to provide weapons to? Just like you wanted the US to provide heavy weapons to the Syrian "rebels" (al-Qaeda)? How come you're not pushing that meme anymore? Fool…
I wrote about Muzychko weeks ago, here: http://empireslayer.blogspot.com/2014/03/now-obam…
He was very likely one of the people involved in the sniper attacks, based on his history and terrorist actions, even just the ones caught on video, recently in Ukraine.
It was also predicted weeks ago that the US backed junta would, as is practiced in these affairs, try to get rid of the fascist embarrassment that it used to overthrow the elected government, to try to create more legitimacy for the junta. It’s clear that is likely beginning now.
Muzychko was a major war criminal, torturer, and murderer, and was a big embarrassment and played a prominent role in the coup. He had managed to stay alive for years through major battles and crimes. Now he’s gone.
Do not fall for PR. This guy was all over the place, recorded his adventures slapping prosecutor around, making municipal councils pass "laws" while he waited with the gun, etc. But the real leader, Yarosh, is well connected with German fascist groups. But Svoboda, that controls key posts in new Goverenment has three branches in Germany. They are real power. Yatsenyuk and his boss Timoschenko of Fatherland Party are no better. Have you heard the phone call she had with one former official, on how to nuke Russia and all the 8 milion Russians in Ukraine? She admits the recording is her, but apploogizes only for "bad language". Hitler did not have much more to start with, got money and tehnology from UK, provided he goes against Soviet Union. Is this any different?
That certainly gives the lie to the claims that the interim is somehow "dominated" by far right elements! Another chunk of the neocon propaganda scam goes down the toilet.
Putin has not yet invaded the "Baltic Three" as you have predicted he would. When will that happen, Mr. Modern Nostradamus?
