A U.S.-EU backed right-wing movement, popularly known as Euromaidan, overthrew the elected government of Ukraine in February. For the U.S. in particular, the aim was to place NATO bases on Russia’s border as part of its longterm strategy of strangling and breaking up an independent capitalist Russia.
While the U.S. and especially the EU were putting a neoliberal, technocrat face on the new Ukrainian regime, the driving force behind it was and is fascist movements like Svoboda (which openly takes its inspiration from Stepan Bandera, the Hitler collaborator of occupied Ukraine during World War II), the Right Sector, and the Fatherland party. These racist, violent, anti-communist groups control the main levers of state power in the coup government, and their shock troops form the back bone of the National Guard, which is the only military force the regime has been able to rely on.
What imperialism did not reckon on was a popular anti-fascist resistance movement, which quickly broke out in the south east of Ukraine, in Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, Odessa, etc. Russian capitalism has acted defensively to the U.S.-fascist provocation on its Western border, but the Obama administration and the media have falsely portrayed the Putin government as the aggressors.
While the fascist influence has made some of the European powers nervous, the U.S. has been egging on the most aggressive elements to wage war on the fight-back movement in the South East, while also threatening Russia with U.S. warships, build up of ground troops in Eastern Europe, the largest-ever NATO war games, etc.
The result has been devastating massacres like burning of the Trade Union House in Odessa on May 2 by neo-Nazis, killing 46 people, and the shooting of civilians at a Victory Day parade in Mariupol by the National Guard, killing 20. Progressive and anti-fascist organizers have been forced underground.
It is imperative that anti-fascists, anti-imperialists and the antiwar movement come out against these dangerous provocations of U.S. and European imperialism, and support the anti-fascist resistance in southeast Ukraine.
