Who Is Allowing Fascism To Grow in Former USSR?

Dear readers:

This growing danger has forced another Editorial in order to point out as best as can be the danger of creeping fascist ideology and the forces that are directly and indirectly behind this phenomena.

The photo below on the left shows the young Nazis marching with fascist flags and arm bands through the main Kreshchatik Square in Kiev, Ukraine – without any hindrance from the Ukrainian authorities. The photo on the right shows what is needed to struggle for as the newspaper "For USSR", with its editor Larisa Babienko shows at all of the demonstrations that are held.

The fascist movement is being promoted in the Baltic Republics by their governments and they honour and glorify the veterans of the Nazi SS battalions that fought the Soviet Red Army.

The growing Russian nationalism and Nazi movements are responsible for racial attacks against other Soviet citizens of other nationalities, attacks against Communists, against trade union leaders and young growing numbers of Komsomol organizations.

These Nazi movements seem to have plenty of finances, uniforms, newspapers, web pages on the Internet and also for staging open events all across the former Soviet Union.

Nothing grows without some food, help, planning, guiding and behind-the-scenes support. The question is evident even from across the ocean where this Editorial is being written.

Besides the economic chaos, the outright robbery of the natural resources, the foreign ownership, unemployment, the degradation of culture and all of the other ills of Capitalism, the present leadership of governments of ex-Soviet republics are the ones who directly or indirectly are nurturing, promoting, guiding and pushing these nazi hoodlums in order to try and stop the growing demonstrations, unrest and demands of the people. Even in capitalist Canada these Nazis would not be allowed to march openly with their fascist flags!

Therefore the many and numerous Communist, Socialist parties and movements that are existing in every former Soviet Republics, that are anti-fascist, that know the danger of this cancer that is directly-indirectly state and foreign supported – must get together in a common united front in order to fight this growing danger.

A real UNITED FRONT is what the forthcoming Third Worldwide Congress for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People will try to achieve in November of 2007 in Moscow.
