MP Andrey Parubiy was gunned down in Lviv earlier this year by a man who said he did it out of hate for the government

Snip:

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has posthumously awarded late neo-Nazi politician Andrey Parubiy with the country’s top honor, conferring him a ‘hero of Ukraine’.

Parubiy co-founded the neo-Nazi Ukrainian National Socialist Party in 1991, and coordinated paramilitaries in Kiev during the Western-backed Maidan coup, which toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected government in 2014. He was also reportedly responsible for organizing the radicals which burned 42 anti-Maidan activists alive in the Odessa Trade Unions House massacre later that year.

According to an aide to Ukraine’s prosecutor general during the coup, Andrey Telizhenko, Parubiy was “responsible for closing down the case and destroying the evidence [of] his involvement” in the “terrorist attack.”

The neo-Nazi politician also “directly ordered” strikes on civilians in Donbass, and “pushed to provoke the civil war in eastern Ukraine, which has now led to a massive conflict,” Telizhenko told RT in August.
