REAL RUSSIA VS. THE KREMLIN STATE: INTERVIEW WITH OLENA SEMENYAKA

by Rémi Tremblay

In the war currently underway in Eastern Ukraine, between Ukrainian nationalists and Russian separatists, the latter are winning one of the most important battles, the battle of information.

Since the beginning of the conflict, the separatists have used the internet extensively to gather support from all around the world and to present their side of the story. However, the Ukrainian nationalists have seldom been heard, and their motives are often presented through the deforming lenses of Western or pro-Russian media. To correct this distortion, here is a long overdue presentation of the Ukrainians’ position.

In an uncensored and unfiltered interview, Olena Semenyaka, the coordinator of the Azov Reconquista project and a member of the Press Service of the Azov Regiment, gives us an overview of how things look from a Ukrainian nationalist perspective. The Azov Regiment is an international regiment recognized by the Ukrainian government that has been active since April 2014.

THE OPIUM OF THE WEST

President Obama outlines his geopolitical vision in an appropriate setting.

by James Harmon

The reality of Russian-American relations is that America has simply bitten off more than it can chew. Whatever criticisms of the Russian president, one simply cannot fault his seizing on the failures of his opponents – like a wolf striking at the neck of a distracted deer.

Strong, decisive and measured, he has systematically shown the West to be foolish, impatient and wobbly; and standing up to Obama is easier in virtually every way, when the idealistic former Western socialist (Obama belonged to a socialist party in his youth) meets a man who actually lived and worked under socialism, and who is no idealistic daydreamer.

THE UKRAINE — A FAILED "STRESS TEST" FOR OUR MOVEMENT

The "high level" of debate within nationalist circles.

by Dimitrios Papageorgiou

In banking jargon, a stress test is an analysis conducted under unfavorable economic scenarios, which is designed to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand the impact of adverse developments.

Stress tests focus on a few key risks to banks' financial health in crisis situations – such as credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. The results of stress tests depend on the assumptions made in various economic scenarios, which are described by the International Monetary Fund as "unlikely but plausible." Bank stress tests attracted a great deal of attention in 2009, as the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression left many banks and financial institutions severely under-capitalized.

Many in our movement (however they decide to call it) detest banks. Anyway this is not a piece about banks, but about the way this movement failed its own first "stress test" in the Ukrainian crisis. This was the first serious problem that our movement faced that had to do with a real world situation, rather than the usual problems of old-style nationalism. The situation in the Ukraine was not a bickering between philosophical approaches. It was not personal stuff being turned into political. It was not colliding dreams. Instead it was a real problem in the real world, which called for us not to take sides but to choose wisely.

UKRAINE – TOWARDS A PEACEFUL SOLUTION

Not quite as clear-cut as this.

by Max Musson

In recent days I have published two articles attempting to explain what is going on in Ukraine and the implications for White nationalists worldwide.

Events have since appeared to be spiralling out of control and following the realisation that back in 1994, Britain and the USA had signed a treaty with Ukraine guaranteeing her territorial integrity, there was a period over last weekend during which we were possibly on the brink of World War Three.

Thankfully, it appears that despite the bombastic rhetoric not even Cameron and Obama are stupid enough to declare war on Russia and all they have so far threatened Russia with are trade sanctions and political isolation. This moderate line reflects two things: firstly, that Western leaders have no stomach for a war with a country as well armed and economically powerful as Russia; and secondly, in their hearts they know that Putin has acted in a measured way to the growing crisis, taking only the minimum steps necessary in order to protect Russia’s vital strategic interests.

"WE MUST UNITE ALL PEOPLE OF CRIMEA!"

by Manuel Ochsenreiter & Natalya Bazhenova

An interview with Gennady Sivak, head of the "Social Patriotic Assembly of the Slavs" on the situation in the Crimea

Mr. Sivak, since in Kiev the so called “Maidan Movement” took power, the people in Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine started organizing to defend themselves against the new pro-Western government in Kiev. What can you tell us about the situation in Crimea?

Sivak: Citizens of the Crimean Republic will never recognize the violations of the Constitution of Ukraine, the result of which was that the armed bandits came to power. On February 27 the Supreme Council of the Crimean Republic voted for this statement. Crimea does not recognize the Verkhovna Rada (National Parliament) of Ukraine.
