Ukraine: Andriy Parubiy has written a world-shaking chapter in fascist criminal history. His crimes, however, have not been dealt with to this day

The former president of the Ukrainian parliament was buried on Tuesday, with great nationalistic pathos, at Lychakivsky cemetery in Lviv. His murderer has already confessed. Politicians throughout the Western world — including German members of the CDU and the Green Party — are mourning the loss of Andriy Parubiy as a statesman and a deserving champion of the European ideal and democracy in Ukraine. If Parubiy’s dark past is even mentioned, for example as leader of paramilitary neo-Nazi organization « Patriot of Ukraine », from which Azov militia emerged in 2014, the talk is always of the politician’s alleged moderation and rejection of right-wing radicalism after the Maidan struggle.

Actually, Parubiy was fueling the war against Russia and expressed on a TV show, as recently as 2018, his admiration for Adolf Hitler. Independent US researcher Moss Robeson is even considering him the « secret godfather of the Banderite anti-peace movement »: Parubiy was the first to announce the « resistance movement against surrender », before the 2019 parliamentary elections – a reaction to Zelensky’s promise to negotiate a stable peace with Moscow. In 2020, Parubiy demanded in a speech to supporters

We must bring the day closer when we oust Zelensky from office

The seventh Commandment

The leadership of the « resistance movement » was recruited from Bandera wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), including long-time close associates of Parubiy like Andriy Levus. On his Bandera lobby blog, Robeson points to photos on social media, which are showing Parubiy with top Banderist figures in the recent past, for example in New York City in 2019. In 2021, he participated there in the conference of an OUN-B think tank. In 2024, he commemorated his suddenly deceased « friend » Stefan Romaniv, the global leader of the OUN-B. The organization’s obituary for Parubiy also expresses a deep sense of solidarity, making it clear that he was by no means just a salon Nazi. It asserts that Parubiy « did not deviate from his uncompromising path as a Ukrainian nationalist until his last breath », has always lived « zealously », according to the OUN’s « Decalogue ». Published on the day of his death, the statement ends with the fifth commandment, « Avenge the death of the great knights! »

Apparently, Parubiy acted, with a particular consistency, according to the seventh commandment – ​​« You shall not hesitate to commit the greatest crime if the cause demands it », as stated in the 1929 original version – and did so as a key figure in two massacres in 2014, which continue to shake the world today.

We have long known that on April 29, Parubiy personally went to the Maidan checkpoints near Odessa, handed out Class 5 bulletproof vests and ordered them to carry out the pogrom at the Trade Union Building

Vasil Polischuk reported last week. Polischuk was at the time a city councilor in Odessa and eyewitness to the violence on May 2. After he had demanded an investigation, his son was beaten on the street by three unknown assailants with metal bars and suffered a skull fracture. The family was forced to leave Ukraine.

Canadian political scientist Ivan Katchanovsky recently underscored Polischuk’s allegations. He pointed out that on the eve of the incident, Parubiy, then head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, had traveled with around 500 Maidan thugs, from Kiev to Odessa, where he had explicitly ordered the arson attack. For Katchanovsky, that is just one of many indications that the fascist hunt for Maidan opponents during those days was « orchestrated by high-ranking government officials », as he explains in a 2024 treatise on « Far-Right Political Violence in Ukraine ».

Massacre on Maidan

He ordered everything to be smashed, destroyed, and burned

testifies Tsesari Badjalidze, in Anna Stephan’s 2018 Israeli documentary « The Square of Broken Hopes ». Badjalidze was member of a group of Georgian snipers, assigned to support the fascists in Odessa. When the anti-Maidan protesters were forced to flee to the Trade Union Building, Parubiy’s « appetite only grew », Badjalidze says. Although desperate cries for help could increasingly be heard from the burning building, Parubiy ordered the fire department’s fire engines to be blocked and the trapped people not to be allowed to escape.

Prior to that, Parubiy was one of the masterminds on February 20, 2014, behind the Maidan massacre, which left dozens dead. During the false flag operation, from surrounding buildings, including Hotel Ukraine, snipers fired at demonstrators and police officers, deliberately targeted journalists. The core of the sniper squad is said to have been around 50 Georgians, including Badshalidze, who had been recruited as mercenaries by Mamuka Mamulashvili, a confidant of the recently retired President Mikheil Saakashvili and later commander of the Georgian Legion in Ukraine.

Witnesses eliminated

Andriy Parubiy personally picked up the snipers from Borispil Airport in Kyiv and brought them to a secret apartment

said Tristan Tsitelashvili, in an interview conducted by Junge Welt in Tbilisi in December 2024. They were prepared for their deployment at the Krtsanisi military training center, which is also used by the US Army near the Georgian capital, Tsitelashvili continued. The retired major general had been the superior of one of the mercenaries when he was still an officer in the Georgian army and had himself been on Maidan to observe the situation as a military expert. When after the successful coup in Kiev, at least six of the Georgian Maidan snipers, who had since gone into hiding in Macedonia and other Eastern European countries, were murdered in order to eliminate potential witnesses, the mercenary, who was known to him, allegedly asked Tsitelashvili for assistance. Tsitelashvili then organized a secret meeting of some of the surviving Georgians with selected international press representatives. By allowing these Maidan snipers to take the plunge and make their way into the media spotlight, many stories that had previously been dismissed as « tall tales » were proven to be historical fact.

In his study « The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine », Katchanovsky presented witnesses, including those close to Parubiy, who testified that as Maidan commander, he had already ordered « bloodshed » for the large demonstration on February 18, which had been announced as peaceful. Parubiy (as well as later Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko) ordered the sniper attack two days later because the Maidan movement urgently needed « sacred victims » to gain power. Katchanovsky has also evidence that around six weeks after the deadly escalation of the riots, Parubiy helped « Right Sector » killers pack their weapons away in music cases so that investigators could not confiscate them.

So far, eyewitnesses, as well as the few researchers and journalists who have investigated the crimes of Parubiy and his accomplices, are vilified as « Kremlin propagandists ». Ivan Katchanovsky repeatedly criticized the Western media’s conspicuous unwillingness to investigate, despite the « explosive confessions » available. There are even cases of disinformation: in 2021 for example, the ARD “Faktenfinder” program attempted to undermine the credibility of the Georgian snipers who had testified against Parubiy and other instigators of the 2014 fascist rampage — for example by claiming that one of them had actually been imprisoned during the Maidan massacre. « Fake news », Katchanovsky countered. False claims, lies, and obfuscations can be found in alarmingly large numbers in mainstream media about the events of that time and their fatal consequences — often originating from front networks of the international Bandera lobby.
