Posted by HCN on Monday, January 5, 2015
A rally respective the 10th birth anniversary of Stepan Bandera, was held on New Year, a few days ago, in Kiev, markedly torchlit carrying gathering.
Stepan Bandera was known for his involvement in the effort for, in limited words intended to summarize and not to wholly describe, Ukraine assertion of autonomy, especially in the late 1930s, early 1940s era, most of his life is known for the half century, his birth recorded as 1909.
The source of this report, was RT.com news, RT.com/news/219783-nazi-parade-kiev-bandera, who states that the rally was a 'neo-Nazi' march; albeit, historical sources, such as the Wikipedia article about Bandera are indicative that the relationship that Bandera had with Germany in the referent era plausibly had a higher level of complexity.
The RT news story said that Czech President Zeman, said that "something was wrong withe the EU", the statement made Sunday in a radio report to F1 on Sunday.
Soldiers uniforms, camouflage patterned jackets were worn by some of the marchers on January 1, 2015.
The Rt story included "...“Torch-lit marches in Ukraine demonstrate that it is continuing to move along the path of the Nazis!” Konstantin Dolgov, the foreign ministry's human rights envoy, said last week".
Dolgov represents the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Zeman, who is 70 or thereabout, discussed certain elements of the march which reminded him of certain elements having to refer to Nazi history, such as the German Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich.

Uniforms, varying camouflage jackets, and flags aside, torch-lit marches have a long history.  They were performed in the Alexandria, D.C., area around the early 1800s.  Confer also, torch lit marches in Liechtenstein many decades ago, and history related to torchlit marches in Sussex in Tudor times, known for going back to the late 1400s.
