Political scientist Oleg Khavich wrote about this on his Facebook.
“Only racially correct nationalists on the government’s payroll can hold actions on October 14th. This morning, since the very morning, the SBU has been putting pressure on the members of Autonomous Otpor, who announced an alternative “UPA march” for Saturday. The full set that those who disagree with the regime’s actions are accustomed to: special forces, broken doors, illegal searches. Likes moan on FB: we are “nationally close.” They are very reminiscent of stormtroopers who sincerely did not understand why the SS men were killing them,” wrote Havich.
A member of the nationalist organization “Black Committee” Bogdan Titsky on his Facebook clarifies that activists of “Autonomous Otpor” are suspected of preparing a coup d’etat ordered by Moscow. However, Titsky clarifies, they took a clear anti-Russian position. About a dozen nationalists held a protest today under the control of the SBU in Lviv.
As Politnavigator previously reported, in the capital of Ukraine, nationalists are planning to storm the Kyiv Lavra on October 14 in order to expel the priests of the UOC from there.
