Ukrainian Capital Names Streets After Nazi Collaborators

    6
    A street in Kiev was just named after Nazi collaborator and war criminal Ivan Pavlenko - chief of Ukrainian Auxiliary Police and commander of 109 Shutzmannshaft batallion where he participated in mass killings of tens of thousand of Jews. The pic shows him in Berlin in 1943.

    KVIV, UKRAINE (AP) – The Ukrainian Jewish Committee’s director has harshly criticized a decision by the Ukrainian capital’s legislature to name streets after Nazi collaborators.

    Eduard Dolinsky said the Kyiv city council ruled Tuesday to name a city street after Ivan Pavlenko, whom he described as a Nazi collaborator and war criminal. Dolinsky said on Facebook Wednesday that Pavlenko led a Ukrainian unit involved in the killing of tens of thousands of Jews during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine.

    Dolinsky said that the city legislators also named another Kyiv street after Nil Khasevich, an activist of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, who drew anti-Semitic cartoons and was involved in mass killings of Poles during World War II.

    Dolinsky described the city council’s move as an insult to Holocaust victims. The Ukrainian authorities had no immediate reaction.

    Next they’ll name a street after Fruman, Parnas, Guiliani and trumpf for the ‘perfect call’ the imbecile made. Sort of a RICO Act deal gone bust. Impeachment starts

    Given the massive Russian disinformation apparatus, I am always wary of believing reports like this.

    Wait for it. Trump defenders will very soon claim the sole purpose of withholding the allocated funds was to pressure Ukraine out of naming streets in honor of Nazi collaborators.

    GoldnMedina, did you take your medication today? Do you have nothing else to say all day but to spew hate with not a constructive positive thing to say ever? Don’t you get tired of being dark and sad and mean all day? I’m pretty sure that is not how a Jew should act. This is a Jewish website and many non Jews read this so try and remember you represent Jewish people
    FYI my comments have not a thing to do with politics, rather on how a proper Jew should act and not spread evil.
