UKRAINIAN communists issued a stark warning about the glorification of fascists today after capital Kiev’s city council announced that it was to celebrate anniversaries of the birth of what the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU) described as “nazi killers, thugs, executioners and anti-semites.”
The party, which has itself been subjected to state-imposed bans, urged the world not to ignore the “flagrant manifestation of neonazism” taking place in the country.
The city council has been accused of an attempt to hide details of the resolution on its website after it was passed by a majority in the chamber last week.
