Mr. Clinton let us be frank: Your visit to Ukraine did not delight our workers. Working people do understand: presidents come and presidents go, but the danger from Imperialism remains. Because, instead of a millionaire from the Republicans in the White House in USA, there came a 42 year old millionaire Democrat, the situation in the world will not improve much better at all. The game of “democracy” remains only a game. And you demonstrated this while on your visit to Kiev.
BEFORE WHOM, MR. CLINTON, DID YOU PRAISE THE ARMY OF THE FIRST UKRAINIAN FRONT?
Before double-dyed nationalists? Before the ex-president Krawchuk of Ukraine, who three years ago banned the celebrations of the Day of Victory? Did not your controlled “free press” inform you about this as to how Kreshchatik Avenue was decorated on May 9 in 1992? The main sign on Kreshchatik was “Beauty 93′ – Mother’s Day” while Ukrainian radio at that time was full of anti-Soviet, anti-Stalin diatribe and the radio waves were making us crazy with Western music – and this in the Ukraine capital and on the Day of Victory?
Today, three years after, radio and TV did not mention even once the heroes of the struggle against Hitler’s Germany, about the heroism of the Soviet Army, about the Kozaks, young guards, about General Korbyshov, scout Kuznetsov, about the legendary Alexander Matrosov who was already the 59th Hero who threw his body over the machine gun barrels of the fascists in order to save his comrades!
The Victory Day meeting dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War held on May 8th in the theatre “Ukraine” was turned around, with the shameless participation of some officers and praise for President Kuchma. It is a shame that the Hero of the Soviet Union Nedrigajlo, who was turned with his back to audience and bowing to Kuchma, was ready, not even leaving the stage to give up all powers to Kuchma, thus asking him in effect to become a dictator. Shame on such “heroes”! It is sad that Nedrigajlo did not see that at the same time at the entrance, yellow-blue Captain (Ukrainian nationalist – Editors) of the militia forcibly took from the hands of a woman the Red Flag of Victory which was the actual flag with bullet holes in it that was the standard bearer in the fight against the Nazi hordes!
YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, MENTIONED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE FACING THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.
Don’t be cunning! You certainly know full well that there is being practiced a full blown genocide in the Ukraine. We are dying off! Example, only in the Nosovski District of Chernigov Province in 1994, there were born 395 children, but there were at the same time 960 deaths … Soviet people are looked upon as expendable! Full Americanization is taking place on our people: in politics, in economy and in culture. Our youth is being demoralized and we are becoming a colony of USA, we are forced to use narcotics, alcoholism is rampant, prostitution and crime. Ukraine has attained first place in prostitution among all former Soviet Republics. The doctrine of A. Dulles since 1946 became an actual fact! The steps taken against the USSR and now the CIS, including psychological and dollar intervention, shows realistically that the USA has already started the Third World War.
YOU PRAISE UKRAINE FOR DISARMING ITSELF, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, YOU DEMAND THAT UKRAINE JOIN NATO?! AND WHO GAVE THE RIGHT, MR. CLINTON, TO FORCE UPON OUR PEOPLE THE MARKET ECONOMY?!
The forceful integration into the market economy – capitalism-this is a complete turn about from our previous economic system, turning our country back 100 years, to the period of raw capitalist exploitation. Even a porcupine now understands that changing our system of socialism into capitalism – this is profit for your backers, Mr. Clinton, while in return, our people got Chechniya, unemployment, hardships, hunger, crime and killings on demand and turning Ukraine into a supplier of raw resources for world Imperialism.
MR. CLINTON, DURING THE NUREMBERG TRIALS IN 1945, OUN-UPA WERE SENTENCED AS ACCOMPLICES OF FASCISM.
This decision by the Nuremberg Trials of OUN-UPA (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Ukrainian Underground Army – Editors) was never abrogated! Soviet people will never forgive these bandits and their crimes: chopping off people’s hands if anyone wanted to join the Collective Farms, the liquidation of the party-state workers and leaders, specialists in agriculture, teachers. Corpses who were strangled to death, including children who were thrown into wells, burnt alive in their homes. “Our state must become frightening!”, said S. Bandera. And today, these left-overs of “Banderovtsi” and their yellow and blue flag has become the symbol of Ukraine! But over 80% of Ukraine never voted for and never recognizes this flag, who you Mr. President recognize and greeted …
For your thought: Miners of the Lugansk Region celebrated Day of Victory and 50th Anniversary over fascism without even one “official, flag” flying over them. Lugansk was RED. Remember this!
YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, MAINTAIN THAT GOD GAVE OUR PRESENT PRESIDENT TO US.
Really? Was Yeltsin also a gift from God?!
Happily on this question, the Ukrainian people have their own thoughts. We were forced to accept this institute of a president, who is proceeding with the active capitalization of our country, with anti-people’s reforms. Presidential form of government is foreign for our people and the mentality of the Slavs. We are going to vacate this form soon enough!
PEOPLE OF UKRAINE STATE:
“NO”-International Monetary Fund!
“NO”-Monopolization system of prices!
“NO”-Regime of colonial democracy!
“NO”- National-capitalism!
“NO”-Zionism and neo-banditism!
“NO”- American economic and political Fascism!
Ukraine will never become a capitalist state. Great Ukraine can only become greater as a Socialist Ukraine in a family of Soviet Union!
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, MR. PRESIDENT: SOVIET PEOPLE WILL AGAIN RESURRECT THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS AND WILL ELIMINATE ALL PRESIDENTS AND THEIR HELPERS!!!
On behalf of the comrades.
All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and “Movement for USSR”
Galina Savchenko
Secretary and President
