Russian neo-Nazis traveled to Odessa and played the role of pro-Russian Ukrainians AND JEWS in a pro-Russian protest. These days, however, it’s hard to pretend you are somebody else because people will recognize you from your social media. This is precisely what started happening. People recognized a Russian neo-Nazi in one of the supposedly Ukrainian and Jewish protesters. (The link is here but it’s in Russian.)
Here is my translation of one of the news items about the events in Odessa:
“3 to 4 thousand pro-Russian activists gathered on March 23 at Kulikovo Field in Odessa, where they held a rally against “political repression.”
The participants chanted “Russia” and “Freedom to Anton Davidchenko.” Jewish symbols were used at the meeting. On behalf of a non-existent organization “Jewish rebel army ” provocateurs used Israeli flags with the words “Russia, protect us.” According to JewishNet in Odessa, when an activist who belongs to the Jewish community of Odessa addressed the provocateurs in Hebrew, the only answer he got was : “Dirty kike.”
Something similar was reported on the Russian news yesterday.
“Ukrainian ultra-nationalists are assaulting Russian-speakers in Kharkov,” the newscaster announced.
The footage showed a group of masked burly men beating a pedestrian in the street. Unexpectedly, these Ukrainian ultra-nationalists were yelling in Russian with a heavy Moscow accent.
But you know how sly and crafty these Ukrainians and Jews are. They can easily pass themselves as Russian neo-Nazis passing as Ukrainians and Jews and invade an honest pro-Russian event to make peaceful pro-Russians look bad.
