Supporting the Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk ‘United Front’ Against Neo-Nazism in the Ukraine (25.2.2022) 

This ‘insurgency’ was countered and put-down by the NKVD troops of the Soviet Union between 1945-1947! (The work of Alexander Werth covers this episode. When the conquering Red Army entered the territory of West Ukraine in 1943-1944 – they discovered a hardcore of non-surrendered Nazi German Officers leading highly motivated ‘Catholic’ Ukrainians – armed with weapons secured from the US and UK.
