3:14 am
trying to cut any ties to a common legacy with russia. ukrainians have been renaming streets named after soviet commanders and politicians as well. for some context and history. more than 26000000 soviet citizens died in world war 2. nearly half of them soldiers, soviet army liberated the territory of 10 europe, ian countries from nazi occupation, freeing more than 100000000 people in those areas. a serbian member of parliament, milos banjo, says that the purpose of racing the past, is to turn people against russia. and yet does it show minute? vanya, the goal is simply logical, to direct the peoples of east in europe and the ussr against russia. to do this, you need to show that the russians have bad. and how can russia be shown as bad if it made such a colossal contribution to their liberation from the nazi? it's necessary to cut out this part of the story and tell everyone that the russians are occupies for many years. and neo nazi regime has been developing in
3:15 am
ukraine. it is being imposed on all ukrainians. they simply do not want anything to do with russia. even a shed pass that they should be proud of. they took christopher to be the best state ideology. people in ukraine have been under the propaganda of the media for a long time. his school and people simply cannot hear another point of view. because pro russia media, abandon ukraine club. and while some western countries are striving to diminish the soviet union's role in the allied victory in world war 2, some supporters of adolf hitler are getting increasing support in ukraine. vogue magazines, list of histories most distinguished ukrainians now includes nazi collaborator support. been darrell long idolized by far right extremists in the country. i did it. oh, i love it. bendara revenue by ukrainian nationalists and despised by
3:16 am
every one else, at least when they find out about his bro months with adolf hitler. but there is legacy has long been toyed with on the far right fringes of ukraine society. but with the latest i'll been pushed to support key of in whatever this nazi collaborates. hays being normalized in the mainstream to it was band dera, who managed to bring the activities of the organisation of the ukrainian nationalists to a new level in the early 19 thirty's. turning it from an underground openings ation into a liberation movement known in every country where there was a diaspora all the years in exile. he was the leader of the organisation of the ukrainian nationalists, which was reckoned within europe and an outstanding theorist of the national movement. and pandora, publications, and public organizations spread the truth about ukraine. bandera headed the most radical iteration of o u n. the organization of ukrainian nationalists there openly and officially
3:17 am
fascist roots may be shamefully tucked away in media articles now, but back then bender and his followers proudly wore it on their sleeves. along with anti semitism, the jews of the soviet union are the most loyal supporters of the bolshevik regime and the vanguard of musk of imperialism in the ukraine. jews often referred to by racial slurs within o u. n. weren't the only targets of been dares fascist discrimination doctrine russians, poles, gypsies were to be exterminated to, according to one of mentors, closest allies and another hero of 21st century ukraine. it is necessary to hurry up with the liquidation of poles to their full extinction villages. with solely polish populations or to be burned down in villages of mixed nationalities, only poles are to be wiped out jews, and gypsies, or to face the same treatment, full annihilation without remorse. it's vital to take care of doctors, pharmacists, chemists, nurses,
3:18 am
and keep them under watch in field hospitals. when their work finishes, they must be murdered without announcement. hardly surprising adolph hitler chose bandera as his henchmen and chief in ukraine, whose organisation is estimated to be responsible for some $100000.00 deaths and banderas blood last knew no limits. the organization of the ukrainian analysts valleys the lives of its members very highly. but we accept that our glorious idea requires not just a few, not hundreds, but millions to full victim in order to be implemented modern day ukraine has been repeatedly urged to stop glorifying these people who could have recently added a few pages to the rule book of isolated al qaeda but president zalinski thinks it's a cool thing. there are indisputable heroes steppin band era as a hero for certain ukrainians. and this is a normal and cool thing. he was one of the defenders of ukraine's freedom. and of course there's plenty of ukrainians. horrified by been there as monuments springing

up all across the country. it's just hard to tell how many ukrainians and since any sacrilege of these nazi idols could cost people their lives. injured protesters and to police officers and cars set on fire. tensions are high and sweden as protesters continued to take it to the streets, to decry an anti islam group known for burning currants after it was given permission by the authorities to stage demonstrations. ah, 3 demonstrators were injured during the latest clashes with police over the past several days. protests have taken place in a number of sweeter cities where the far right movement had planned events. the group wants to ban islam with its leader recently saying that it was quote, time to burn the kron despite the violence. swedish authorities have refused to withdraw the permission for the group to hold its demonstrations. let's now take
3:20 am
a look at how the latest events have unfolded. commerce thought was starting with the migration for immigration crisis in 2015. i think we were really flooded by, by me, migrants and we have got criminal criminal justice as right. the reason there and we see shootings and st and small speech when you city cities, which were peace, poland earlier times. so sweden has changed a lot and yet it's not a really surprised that the people are not happy. they have one of these bands of the gangs that the cities, even with hand grenades,

3:22 am
