Kiev denies the Nazi division’s symbols of the SS Galicia division

79
Symbols of the SS division "Galicia" (formed from Ukrainians who fought on the side of Nazi Germany) do not fall under the law "On Condemnation of the Communist and Nazi Regimes" and cannot be considered symbolism of the Nazi regime, said Vladimir Vyatrovich, the head of the National Memory Institute of Ukraine, Country "transmits RIA News, motivating it by the fact that this symbolism is not in the list of this law.

The law came into force in Ukraine in May 2015. Clause 5 of Part 1 of Article 1 of this law provides a list of what is meant by Nazi symbols.

Kiev denies the Nazi division’s symbols of the SS Galicia division


In the above list, the symbols of the 14-th Grenadier Division of the SS troops "Galicia" (the 1-th Ukrainian Division of the UNA) is missing. Given this, the symbols of the 14-th Grenadier Division of the SS "Galicia" in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine is not a symbol of the national-socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regime, the distribution or public use of which is prohibited in Ukraine
- says Vyatrovich’s reply to the request for publication published on Thursday.

The SS Division "Galicia" - a military unit recruited from Ukrainian volunteers during the Second World War - was established in Western Ukraine with the permission of the German occupation authorities. In the summer of 1944, the Red Army defeated this division near the Ukrainian city of Brody. In Ukraine, there is no unequivocal assessment of the division’s activities: some political forces claim that the division fought for the freedom and independence of Ukraine, others are convinced that the division was on the side of the fascists.

In 2009, Russia appealed to the UN against the establishment of a memorial plaque to the Galichina military division in Ternopil. Then the deputy permanent representative of Russia to the UN declared that the decision of the city council of Ternopil to establish a memorial plaque in honor of the SS division "Galicia" was "blasphemous", like a number of other actions of the Ukrainian authorities to glorify Nazism.

          In heraldry, this figure is called the “lion rampan”, a lion directly walking on its hind legs, a symbol traditional for European heraldry, and really not forbidden. But here on the lapels of the lads from the SS Galichin division there were precisely lightnings forbidden by Nuremberg.

          What is the debate about? Kiev denies belonging to the Nazi symbols of the SS division "Galicia"?
          Kiev can deny anything. However, the reality is as follows. What is the Galicia division? 14th Waffen-Grenadier Division SS Galicia, 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS Galizien (galizische / ukrainische SS-Division Nr. 1), Division SS Galicia (1 Ukrainian Division UNA)
          The Nuremberg Tribunal recognized “all persons who were officially accepted as members of the SS” criminals (with the exception of members of the so-called “cavalry SS units” and persons who ceased to be members of the SS until September 1, 1939).

          Therefore, by the decision of the international court, the Galichina division is a criminal organization, just like its symbols

            The fact that "Galicia" is a Nazi organization is an axiom.
            Director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee (UEK) Eduard Dolinsky appealed to the Lvov prosecutor with a request to prosecute the organizers and participants of the requiem in honor of the 74th anniversary of the SS division "Galichina". The reason for this is the Ukrainian law on the spread of communist and Nazi symbols.
            On his page on the Facebook social network, Dolinsky recalls that the prosecutor’s office recently filed a lawsuit against a young man who distributed photos and other materials on the social network with “symbols of the communist regime” and slogans of the time. Dolinsky emphasizes that on April 29, 2017, a memorial service was held in St. George's Cathedral, and then a joint prayer took place at the Lychakiv Cemetery and a huge veche in honor of the Ukrainians who fought in the ranks of “Galicia”.
            "Galichina SS Division" was a foreign military unit within the SS troops of Nazi Germany. Ukrainians voluntarily entered this division, swore allegiance to Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, took up German arms, dressed Nazi uniforms and fought on the side of Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, but also against the forces of the Allies, including the United States and Great Britain.The SS organization was recognized as criminal and convicted by the International Tribunal in Nuremberg. the spread of Nazi ideology and symbolism, "said Dolinsky.
            "In this regard, I ask you to prosecute the organizers and participants of the event, namely the chairman of the Lviv Regional State Administration Oleg Sinyutka, members of the reserve organization" Division "Galichina" and other organizations. I also ask you to issue a warning to the media about the inadmissibility of coverage of events that violate the laws of Ukraine, "summarizes the director of UEC.

                    I will quote Strugatsky as a whole:
                    Fascism is the dictatorship of the nationalists. Accordingly, a fascist is a person who professes (and preaches) the superiority of one nation over others and at the same time is an active champion of the “iron hand”, “discipline-order”, “hedgehog gloves” and other delights of totalitarianism.
                    And that’s all. There is nothing more at the basis of fascism. Dictatorship plus nationalism. Totalitarian rule of one nation. And everything else - secret police, camps, bonfires from books, war - sprouts from this poisonous grain, like death from a cancer cell.
                    An iron dictatorship with all its grave charms is possible, say the Stroessner dictatorship in Paraguay or the Stalin dictatorship in the USSR, but since the total idea of ​​this dictatorship is not a national (racial) idea, it is no longer fascism. Perhaps a state based on a national idea, say Israel, but if there is no dictatorship (“iron hand”, suppression of democratic freedoms, sovereignty of the secret police), this is no longer fascism.


                    honestly, I don’t know if the junta of the colonels had a fad about the superiority of the Orthodox Greeks over other peoples ...

    With one phrase that the SS division "Galichina" was created with the permission of the Hitler regime, "everything is said, and the presence of the SS abbreviation proves that it belongs to the fascist regime. Only the Nazis could allow their accomplices to form a division, which was realized: the division carried out punitive functions against the civilian population, i.e. did what even the Germans disgusted.
    And to deny belonging to the Nazis of any SS division is absolutely pointless.
    And today, denying historically obvious facts, the Kiev regime brazenly demonstrates its belonging to the Nazis. But the matter is not even in them. The case in Western Europe and the USA is that they prepared a Nazi coup. However, even to hell with them: Europe at one time itself nurtured German fascism and, without much resistance, surrendered to the Nazi regime. And the US made money without being clean. Therefore, the position of the OSCE, which registers the destruction of infrastructure and the death of civilians, is not surprising, without specifying who controls the territory from which the shelling takes place, and they have enough data for such a conclusion.

    To a glorious battle, to a mortal battle.
    Get up, people are free
    For our land fair!

    Living fighters honor and honor,
    And to the dead - eternal glory.
    For the father’s house, for the Russian land
    Get up, Russian people!

    Get up, Russian people,
    To a glorious battle, to a mortal battle.

    For our land fair!

    In Russia, large
    Do not be the enemy!
    Get up, get up
    Mother dear, Russia!

      Of course, you’re right, but there’s one big thing, but these are the colors of the state flag of the Russian Empire for many years. And as a state. flag and like the flag of the merchant fleet.

    The indictment of the "International Military Tribunal for the Principal German War Criminals" (Nuremberg Trials, 1945) unequivocally states that it is physically impossible to single out at least some separate part of the SS, according to which it would be possible to establish reliably non-participation in the events that led to an aggressive war, and also to an even greater extent in actions that constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, and also because this “criminal activity was widely known to members of the body "and" in the most logical way flowed from the principles on which this organization was built ", and therefore proclaims as criminals" all persons who were officially accepted as members of the SS, including members of the General SS, SS troops, SS formations "Dead Head" and members of any kind of police services that were members of the SS "(with the exception of members of the so-called cavalry formations of the SS and persons who ceased to be members of the SS until 1 September 1939)," who became members of this organization or remained its members, knowing that this organization ispo is used to carry out actions determined by crimes in accordance with Article 6 of the Charter, or those persons who were personally implicated as members of the organization in the commission of such crimes, excluding, however, those persons who were called to this organization by state bodies, and thus, that they did not have the right to choose, as well as those who did not commit such crimes ”
    and even the Canadian War Crimes Commission (Jules Deschain Commission), which worked in 1985-1986, acknowledging the lack of collective responsibility for the war crimes of the Galicia division as a whole, cannot justify.
    In 2016, the Polish parliament qualified the crimes of a division soldier against the Polish population as genocide.
