As for the ideology and the composition of the pro-Russian movement, it
is a mixture of everything that is reactionary. "Admirers of Stalin and
fans of the Tsar-father, Russian Nazis and Ruritanian Cossacks, fanatics
of the Orthodox religion and old ladies nostalgic for the time of
Brezhnev - plus those who are against justice for minors, gay marriage
and vaccination against influenza"; that is how Sergei, a left activist
who has written one of the best accounts [9] of the events of May 2 in
Odessa, describes them.
In the world described by the partisans of Russia, government supporters
are anti-Semitic and sow terror in Kiev. In the real world, the
Holocaust memorial in Novomoskovsk was desecrated for the second time in
six weeks, with an inscription "Death to Jews-Banderites" [10] and
vulgarities proffered at the Jewish governor Kolomoisky. The terror is
in Donetsk and Luhansk, and especially Slovjansk. We should think about
these words of Winston Churchill: "The fascists of the future will be
called anti-fascists."
