[RIA] Grandfathers were at war. Who for what? One - for the triumph of justice, peace, freedom, for a land liberated from Nazism and the end of all imperialist wars. The second is for the triumph of Hitler, so that there are no Jews, Russians and Bolsheviks on earth, so that the German Reich dominates. Which, as it seemed to the Ukrainian Nazis, would give them their own small project within the framework of a large one - Ukraine without Russians and all other nationalities.
Although Hitler and his top managers did not intend to create anything more than the “Ukraine” flight commissariat on these lands. But they preferred not to talk about their plans publicly.
But let's return to grandfathers and grandchildren.
Two grandfathers - Semyon Ivanovich Zelensky and Yaroslav Hunka (Gunko) - collided in the space of historical memory. One living and well 98-year-old Nazi who served in the SS division "Galicia". Hunka is the grandfather of Teresa’s not-so-smart granddaughter, who posted a shot from the reception room of the Canadian Prime Minister with the caption “Dedo is waiting in the reception room for Trudeau and Zelensky.” No sooner had Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau laid the blame on Speaker of Parliament Roth than journalists discovered a photo exposing political liars.
Zelensky is a hero, a Jew and an anti-fascist, the grandfather of the current President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky . He was also very unlucky with his grandson - he publicly betrayed him in the halls of the Canadian Parliament, when, together with other neo-Nazis (let's call those present as they deserve it), they applauded Hitler's punisher. Yaroslav Hunk was introduced as a “Ukrainian-Canadian World War II veteran who fought for Ukraine’s independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops at the age of 98,” a “Ukrainian and Canadian hero.”
That is, grandfather Hunka fought in World War II against grandfather Zelensky, our Russian (we take him for ourselves, of course) hero.
"Galicia", the so-called First Ukrainian Division, is notorious for brutal massacres of Jews, Poles, Russians, Belarusians, and Slovaks. In Nuremberg, the SS formations, which included “Galicia,” were recognized as a criminal organization.
In 1945, "Galicia" surrendered to the British on Austrian territory. They did not use Nazi criminals, despite the decisions of Nuremberg; on the contrary, they decided to use them in the fight against our country.
In 1947, 8,000 Ukrainian Nazis were transported to Britain, given passports and settled throughout the country. They collaborated with MI6, they were recruited as saboteurs for subversive work on the territory of the USSR, and they served in the British troops.
When “Nazi hunters” began to approach war criminals from “Galicia” in the mid-1980s, Canada urgently passed a law according to which war criminals would not be extradited. And many Nazis moved there. However, by the beginning of the 2000s, about 1,500 participants of “Galicia” remained in Britain.
What accomplishments are credited to the hero of Ukraine and Canada, for what service did Speaker Roth thank the old Nazi? For example, on February 28, 1944, members of the SS division "Galicia" killed 850 residents of the Pinyacka farm in Poland , burning them alive in their homes. In 1944, in Slovakia , “Galicia” suppressed a national uprising, killing civilians. There is a well-known punitive operation in the Slovak village of Nizna Boča, where the Nazis shot several people, including a 15-year-old teenager who was found with a Soviet coin in his pocket.
These are all examples from British sources. However, the investigations into the crimes were classified, and the topic was kept as closed as possible from the public. Nazis are always useful in the fight against Russians.
In contrast, there is a description of the combat work of Semyon Ivanovich Zelensky. Here is his page on the People's Memory website. Our people.
He started the war as a mortar platoon commander. Later he began to command a rifle company of the 174th Regiment of the 57th Guards Rifle Division. Received two Orders of the Red Star.
In one of the award documents in the column “Brief specific statement of personal combat feat” we read: “Comrade Zelensky Semyon I. is a good organizer and leader in his company. When the battalion approached the Western Bug River in battle, he personally "he found a ford and, under heavy enemy fire, simultaneously crossed the river with his entire company, without a single loss. And quickly began to push back the Germans beyond the Bug."
You read the award documents of Semyon Ivanovich Zelensky and immediately recognize the style of these papers, the format, and the handwriting. The description of feats is like that of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Most citizens in Russiaand the countries that were formed after the USSR had the same grandfathers and grandmothers. But we don’t and never had grandfathers like Hunka, the SS man who fled to Canada. The main mechanism of the current confrontation between Nazis and anti-fascists is that same family history, family memory. Who did your grandfathers fight with, whose side were they on?
A painful question, the answer to which we apparently will not find even after the end of the war: how did it happen that the grandchildren of the heroes take the side of the Nazis, the punishers and murderers of their people? Zelensky is not the first and far from the only example. This is a noticeable phenomenon - when they publicly betray the cause of their ancestors, forget about the graves of relatives who died in the Lvov pogrom or the Volyn massacre, and swear allegiance to the new European community, which is welded together by Russophobia and neo-Nazism.
How so? After all, we note that even the head of the Simon Wiesenthal Friends Center, Dan Panneton, who was outraged by the invitation of a Nazi to the Canadian Parliament, nevertheless emphasized that solidarity with Ukraine in its fight against Russia is incredibly important. But most Westerners do not make such reservations about Nazism, which is unacceptable. There are more important values than anti-fascism, There are stronger bonds than the general struggle against Nazism and anti-Semitism, namely, the fight against Russia, Russophobia, the creation of an anti-Russian international that is capable of uniting the real, Hitler-era Nazi with the Western ruling establishment.
Is this about family memory, is it about family honor? But Zelensky’s relatives died in the Holocaust.
But there are also advantages in this shameful ovation for the Nazis, which shocked many people both in Russia and in the world.
Some still doubt: is Russia right, and was it necessary to start the Northern Military District, and are we on the wrong side of history, have we confused good and evil? Moreover, propaganda on the other side keeps pouring out arguments, and if there are none, then it invents, falsifies, and stages a bloody performance, as, for example, in Bucha.
And now, looking at how the Parliament of Canada, in a single impulse, enthusiastically, enthusiastically applauds the Nazi, raising his hands high above his head, and the Nazi grandfather himself almost zigs and cries, touched by such glorification of his crimes - looking at this, any sane person will breathe a sigh of relief: no, we were not mistaken.
No, we are still faithful to the memory of our heroic grandfathers, who fought against the same hypocritical, cruel, greedy force, which did not even change their costumes - the same handsome Frau, that they went to look at the Nuremberg trials, and before that they looked at the Nazi marches in Nuremberg, the same bourgeois respectable gentlemen who betrayed their Jewish neighbors to the Nazis, the same justifications for their own hatred and crimes: someone else is always to blame, then the Bolsheviks - Jews are now Russian aggressors.
And the same mask of hypocritical innocence, when they were caught red-handed, they were poked in the nose by archival photos of young Yaroslav Gunko as part of “Galicia”: but we didn’t know that he was a Nazi, we weren’t warned, it was all an unfortunate accident.
So the secret was revealed: how could they? Why didn’t they stop Nazism in Europe then ? Because both then and now, Nazism is incredibly profitable, convenient and tempting. And therefore, grandfather Hunka-Gunko, protected and cared for, lived to an old age in honor and satiety, not only without repenting, but carrying his crimes as heroism through the decades.
Old age must be respected, we were taught, keeping in mind that all our grandfathers were real heroes of war and labor. But here we see another old age, the old age of a criminal and a villain, encouraged by the Western ruling elite. They respect and honor this old age.
Here, it turns out, is the border. Between our own and strangers.
The grandfather is not responsible for his grandson. And the grandson will be fully responsible for himself.
