Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Viacheslav Volodin MOSCOW, January 2 Chairman of the State Duma Viacheslav Volodin said that the events taking place today in Ukraine should be condemned by the European Parliament, PACE and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. “What is happening in Ukraine should be condemned by the European Parliament, PACE and OSCE PA. , to do everything to prevent its revival in Europe. But at the same time, it is right to call to account those who promote such a policy or pretend not to notice it, «Volodin wrote in Telegram. As Volodin noted, Ukraine is more and more is sliding towards a state based on nationalist ideology, this was shown, in particular, by the Bandera rally held in Kiev the day before. «In Ukraine, they forget that nationalist ideology cannot be directed AGAINST some, but be FOR others. It is directed against all mankind.» Volodin added. According to him, it is clear that it is for this reason that Israel condemned the Bandera march in Ukraine, demanded an investigation of anti-Semitic manifestations during the march. «It is unacceptable when in the 21st century the leaders of Nazism are again glorified, who organized atrocities, were accomplices of the fascists, burned villages to the ground, killed old people, women, children, babies. Ukraine is sliding towards a tragic past, against which not only the Soviet Union, but also the United States and England fought, «he said. 
The British are preparing to flee from Ukraine Volodin added that the Second World War killed over 55 million people. «The very fact that in such a situation NATO countries are supplying weapons to Kiev looks monstrous,» he noted. «For our part, we plan to discuss this issue during meetings with representatives of the parliaments of European states, proposing to take effective measures in relation to countries where nationalism flourishes. «, — he concluded. On the eve, a nationalist march took place in Kiev in honor of the leader of the Ukrainian nationalists Stepan Bandera. According to the police, about 3.5 thousand people took part in it. 
«Without Putin»: why Europe and Ukraine are failing Bandera was the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), one of the main initiators of the creation of a combat wing of the OUN «Ukrainian Insurgent Army» *, whose goal was to proclaim the struggle for the independence of Ukraine. UPA * was formed in October 1942. She operated primarily in Western Ukraine and fought against Soviet troops, collaborating with the Nazis. In May 2015, the then president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, gave the OUN-UPA * the status of «fighters for independence» of Ukraine, and its participants — the right to social guarantees. Moscow condemned this decision, noting that «Ukraine is the country where neo-Nazis from words got down to business and killed thousands of civilians «and» that such actions should be adequately assessed at the international level. » The heroization of the UPA * and Bandera and Shukhevych, who led it, is criticized by many war veterans and politicians who accuse the Bandera of collaborating with the Nazis. Israel on Sunday condemned the nationalist march in Kiev. * The organization is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia
