Nazism in Ukraine Today: Russian U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy Interview, Part 3
Our “Best of Maverick News” series continues with this classic from the archives.
(Original air date: March 5, 2023)
In Part 2 of our interview with #Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy, he gave a detailed history of how Ukrainian nationalism first emerged hundreds of years ago, why they developed an unholy alliance with #Nazi Germany in the 20th Century, and later worked hand-in-hand with Western intelligence services such as the CIA and Britain’s MI6.
Tonight, in Part 3, we discuss the prevalence of #Nazism in #Ukraine in the 21st Century, starting with that often-asked question: “how can President #Zelensky be a Nazi if he’s Jewish?”
We learn why Ukraine officially celebrates Nazi war collaborators such as Stepan #Bandera as national heroes today, why they still have racial purity laws and teach eugenics race theory in schools.
Ambassador Polyanskiy also explains how all of the Ukrainian #Nazis escaped prosecution at #Nuremberg after #WWII: they were recruited and protected by Western intelligence, who used them to fight the #USSR during the #ColdWar.
And what about the notorious “kill list” Ukraine publishes online of it’s enemies, marking those they’ve killed as “liquidated?”
Ambassador Polyanskiy is on the list, along with numerous other American, British, and Canadians. We talk about the recent addition of NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons, whose name was placed on the Ukrainian state-linked ‘Mirotvorets’ (Peacemaker) hit list for his reporting in #Crimea.
We asked Ambassador Polyanskiy to respond to allegations of Russian interference in American and Canadian elections (aka the “#Russiagate” hoax).
Russia recently introduced a draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council calling for an independent investigation of what happened to the Nord Stream pipelines. We ask Ambassador Polyanskiy to explain Russia’s position on the #Nordstream explosions: mechanical malfunction or sabotage?
We go back in time to the last time the US blew up a Russian pipeline carrying natural gas to Europe — in 1982, when the CIA sabotaged the Trans-Siberian Pipeline, and ask the Ambassador his thoughts on it. Was the Trans-Siberian pipeline sabotage a blueprint for Nordstream, exactly 40 years later?
Finally, Ambassador Polyanskiy addresses the nuclear warmongering, and clarifies Russia’s doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons.

History of Ukrainian Nationalism: Russian U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy Interview, Part 2
In part 2 of our interview with Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations for the Russian Federation, we take a deep dive into the history of Ukrainian nationalism -- the roots of the current conflict between #Ukraine and #Russia.
Ambassador Polyanskiy explains that the #UkraineWar didn't start in 2022, or even in 2014. It started hundreds of years ago.
Polyanskiy details the FULL story of how the Ukrainian nationalists came to collaborate with #Nazi Germany before #WWII -- an incredible story you've probably never heard before.
He outlines the 10 core principals of Ukrainian nationalism: what they believe, why they consider Russians their enemy, and the deep #Russophobia that led them to slaughter tens of thousands of Russians during #WWI and the Russian Civil War period of 1919-21.
The ethnic cleansing of #communists following the #Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Jews, Hungarians, and Poles was again repeated during the #Holocaust of #WWII by the #NazisInUkraine.
The Ukrainian nationalists were the original #Nazis, years before there was a Nazi Party in Germany; long before anyone ever heard of Adolf #Hitler. "Ukrainians were some of the first promoters of this racial theory," Polyanskiy explains. "It just so happened that the Germans were thinking along the same lines at the same time, and had the same enemies. So they were destined to be natural allies."
Their slogan was -- and still is -- "Ukraine for Ukrainians," enforced by strict racial purity laws (which still exist in Ukraine), eugenics, and enforced careful breeding to create their own "master race." All other inferior races must be exterminated.
Ambassador Polyanskiy explains how Nazi war criminal Stepan #Bandera became known as a national hero in today's Ukraine, and his work for Western intelligence services (Britain's MI6 and the CIA) after World War II and during the Cold War.
"Many Westerners do not understand this history," #Polyanskiy says. "But it is vital to our understanding of where we are today, and why this conflict is happening now."
Watch part 2 of this incredibly interesting interview below.
Part 3 premiers Friday, September 8. (See all interviews with Ambassador Polyanskiy in my Dmitry Polyanskiy playlist on YouTube.)

The Cold War Never Ended: Russian U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy Interview, Part 1
On this “Best of Maverick News” episode we welcomed Dmitry Polyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations from #Russia for an in-depth interview.
In Part 1, we talk about the era of #Gorbachev, #Reagan, and #Perestroika; the fall of the Soviet Union, and those hopeful post-Cold War years when it seemed that the United States and Russia could at last enjoy peace and friendship with each other.
“I thought it was the moment of our common triumph,” Ambassador Polyanskiy says of the end of the Cold War a generation ago.
“Winds of Change…like that song by the Scorpions when they performed it in #Moscow. We had very high hopes. We thought that #NATO might be dissolved, or that there would be no more NATO expansion. But, as it turns out, we were deceived by the West. This sense of victory was stolen from us.”
“We believed in empty promises,” Polyanskiy explained. “Most of those promises were coming from the United States, who wasn’t going to keep them.”
“We did everything in our power to avoid the situation in #Ukraine that’s happening now,” the Ambassador said, “we did not ever want this to escalate militarily.”
Ambassador Polyanskiy stresses that the conflict didn’t begin in 2022. It started long before the Maidan coup of 2014. Western meddling in Ukraine began in the early Cold War period, when the CIA and Britain’s MI6 worked with Ukrainian nationalist #Nazi collaborators such as Stepan #Bandera attempting to create regime change in Soviet Russia — these efforts continue to the present day.
Despite the Cold War ending more than 30 years ago, “The United States never abandoned the dream of tearing Ukraine and other former Soviet Republics away from Russia, and creating a sense of emnity between nations that once were all brothers,” he says.
“To fully understand why Russia is doing this Special Military Operation, you really must understand the roots of the problem,” Polyanskiy said. “So that we can work together to solve this crisis.”

RT Reporter Caleb Maupin on Censorship of Russian Media in the West
The Best of Caleb Maupin series continues tonight with Episode 6.
On this edition of Strange Bedfellows we speak to Caleb Maupin, American correspondent for #Moscow’s #Russia Today Television (#RT) — and ask him what it’s like to work at the most censored network in the world.
Accused by the West of spreading propaganda about the Russian invasion of #Ukraine a year ago this month, the news network has been banned, sanctioned, and restricted on every major TV provider and most social media platforms such as YouTube.
RT is completely banned in Canada and Western Europe.
In September 2017, RT America was ordered to register as a foreign agent with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. (RT America was forced to close it’s doors in March 2022, after all platforms in the U.S. dropped the channel, essentially shutting it down.)
We also talk with Caleb about the current war in #Ukraine; the causes that led to it, and why #Putin decided it was time to intervene.

North Korea Tensions Escalate: guest Caleb Maupin
The #ColdWar between capitalism and communism got very hot when the #KoreanWar erupted in 1950. Few living Americans know much about that war, which aborted Korea’s revolution, gave the U.S. a military and economic foothold in the Far East, and was used to justify the anti-communist crusade.
Three million North Koreans and one million South Koreans are estimated to have died in the conflict, along with nearly a million Chinese and 54,000 U.S. soldiers. It is an unfinished war, with a heavily militarized truce hanging by the thread of a cease-fire between North and South.
Anxious questions have been sparked by recent war games involving #NorthKorea and #SouthKorea, the latter backed by U.S. warships, air power, and the nearly 30,000 troops still based in the South. U.S. corporate media, following the State Department and Pentagon line, blame the hair-raising brinkmanship on maniacal, paranoia-fueled aggression by the North.
In reality, the North has every reason to be paranoid, with the long-standing hostility of the U.S. now ramped up by the reckless military confrontational maneuvers and hostile acts of the US and its vassal forces.
Pyongyang has once again rejected any dialogue and stated that it is not interested in any contact or dialogue with the US as long as it maintains “its hostile policy and confrontational line.”
“The more dangerous the U.S. threat to the DPRK gets, the stronger backfire the U.S. will face in direct proportion to it,” it said.
Meanwhile, mainstream media in the U.S. is demonizing North Korea once again, setting the stage for military escalation. CNN recently ran a story about Olivia Natasha-YuMi, a 15 year-old North Korean girl who has a popular YouTube channel, calling her a “propagandist” the North Korean regime and warning CNN viewers that “these North Korean YouTubers are NOT what they seem!”
CNN implied very strongly in their article that #YuMi’s channel should be censored by YouTube, and taken down entirely. The counter-propaganda campaign evidently worked.
Google, which owns YouTube, confirmed the removal of her channel in June, stating that it took this action in compliance with U.S. sanctions and trade restrictions related to North Korea. The company did not specify how the channels violated these policies, however.
The Korea Communications Standards Commission, the ROK’s internet censorship body, reportedly blocked all three channels within South Korea at the request of the National Intelligence Service, but the channels initially remained available in other countries.
We take a look at YuMi’s videos to find out why the U.S. government finds this North Korean teenager so threatening to our national security interests, and discuss the demonization of North Korea with our guest, RT reporter Caleb Maupin.

Libertarians & Communists: What We Disagree On
"The Best of Caleb Maupin" series continues on "Strange Bedfellows" this week with Part 3 of our "Libertarians & Communists" conversation.
It might sound strange at first, but #libertarians and #communists agree on more than you might think. So, where do we disagree?
I recently had a fascinating in-depth conversation with two American communists: @tylermcconnell -- an occasional co-host of "Strange Bedfellows" -- and @CalebMaupinTV (reporter for the Russian TV news network RT).
Both are members of the Center for Political Innovation @CPIUSA a #communist activist group that is swiftly attracting new followers from all sides of the political spectrum.
We wanted this forum to be a friendly conversation - not a debate -- to see what common ground we might have, what issues we agree upon -- and to identify points of disagreement here in Part 3.
Our conversation lasted more than two hours. I'll be uploading it here in shorter videos -- you can find them all in the "Strange Bedfellows (Highlights)" playlist on my YouTube Channel.

Strange Bedfellows: Libertarians & Communists?!?!
It might sound strange at first, but #libertarians and #communists agree on more than you might think.
I recently had a fascinating in-depth conversation with two communists: Tyler McConnell and Caleb Maupin (reporter for the Russian TV news network RT).
Both are members of the Center for Political Innovation (CPI), a #communist activist group that is swiftly attracting new followers from all sides of the political spectrum.
One thing we can all agree on is we want #peace between #Russia and #Ukraine now. That's our top priority.
We wanted this forum to be a friendly conversation -- not a debate -- to see what common ground we might have, and what issues we agree upon.
In Part 1, we introduce ourselves and talk about our individual understanding of what #communism actually is.
We also discuss how the definitions of communism and #socialism have been misunderstood, particularly in America, because much of what we were told about it was #ColdWar propaganda: a LIE.
Our conversation lasted more than two hours. I'll be uploading it here in shorter videos, which you can find in my YouTube playlist, "Strange Bedfellows (Highlights)".
