Head of the Supreme Court of Ukraine
V.T. Maliarenko

During the Kuchma regime, the Polish magazine Wprost, named the richest people of the bankrupt Ukraine: Kuchma himself, his son-in-law Pinchuk, head of [Kuchma’s] administration Medvedchuk, the “right hand of V. Medvedchuk” – G. Surkis, Pinchuk’s partner – R. Akhmetov, head of the All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress, V. Rabinovich, and others (source: Nezavisimaya Gazeta, September 24, 2003). In other words, criminal Kuchmaism developed in a supportive Jewish environment besides those named, Yan Tabachnik, Y. Zviagilsky, and other Jews also played leading roles, as reported by various sources of mass information (SMI), that have an enormous stake in the disease of the impoverishment of the Ukrainian people (for example, accordionist Yan Tabachnik, in a report by the office of Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine M. Tomenko, it is noted that he [Tabachnik] obtained 8 hectares of land in Kyiv. This land will be used for the purpose of building a center named after his [Tabachnik’s] not so famous person). E. Hodos, the head of the Jewish Liberal Society of Kharkiv, said American dollars and views of criminal “black [unknown word]” directed to the nouveau riche through synagogues, which are now filled by American and Israeli rabbis such as Y. Dov Bleich, M. Moscovich, and Asman. Similarly, Jews from Kharkiv such as O. Feldman and A. Grishfeld became oligarchs by the same criminal path….

This is how over many years Ukraine was ruined and the Ukrainian people became paupers, which was closely followed by the incredible growth of wealth of many Jews, which together with Kuchma are responsible for putting in place an anti-national, anti-Ukrainian, and criminal regime. Therefore we have a case of a real humiliation and dehumanization of the titular nation, and the robbery of national [Ukrainian] riches. Such mass robbery, during which the number of Ukrainian people has reduced by 4 million, proves the well planned and organized nature [of the theft]. 

To be fair, even the biggest minority in today’s Ukraine which is made up of Russians, does not come close to the number of ethnic (nationalistic) organizations as the Jews. The Jews have 500 religious organizations, 236 societies, more than 60 cultural organizations, and about 40 publications (along with 5 television programs) as well as religious and national foundations. Besides that, as reported by sources of mass information (SMI), well known Ukrainian TV channels are also owned by Jews: 1+1 – [owned by] O. Rodniansky, Inter, TET – [owned by] G. Surkis and V. Medvedchuk, CTB, Novi’, ICTV – [owned by] V. Pinchuk, Gravis and part of the airtime on UT-1 – [owned by] V. Rabinovich. Add in hundreds of newspapers, magazines, radio stations, which also belong to Jewish oligarchs and you will understand that almost all of the disseminated information of the independent country of Ukraine is controlled by a foreign group. The same is happening in the financial and banking systems, in big business and socio-cultural sphere, where as stated by M. Tomenko “sing not Ukrainian artists, but “tabachniks and kobzons [referring to Yan Tabachnik and Joseph Kobzon]”.

Main Structures of Organized Jewish Community

Named below are several race-religious-ethnic Jewish organizations which are linked at the national [Ukraine] level, which in turn answer to higher structures, which in turn coordinate [their policy] with Euroasian and European Jewish and Zionist organizations….The Ukrainian Jewish organizations are as follows:

Jewish Confederation of Ukraine – led by [Verkhovna Rada] deputy Y. Zviagilsky and S. Maksimov. Zviagilsky, while serving as Prime Minister, he stole 300 million dollars and transported it [the money] to his historical homeland [Israel] where the money disappeared (Prohorov, D.P. Special Services Forces of Israel, 2002), and S. Maksimov is one of the followers of S. Mogilev, a world renowned Jewish criminal (Ukrainska Gazeta Plus, Publication #2, 2005). Those managing the organization also include: Y. Dov Bleich, M. Gurvitz, VR [Verkhovna Rada] deputy [from the] Crimea, B. Deich, owner of TV channel 1+1 O. Rodnianskiy, [the] Zionist Zissels, Jewish activist E. Levitas, Kuchma’s son-in-law Pinchuk, “Medvedchuk’s right hand” G. Surkis and others;

The militant Jewish organization “Beit’ar”, which exists under the umbrella of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, members of which are responsible for the creation of “Nahal” – a subdivision of the Israeli Army. “Beit’ar” is part of the nationalist-Israeli army organization Etzel’ along with the so called “revisionists” – members of an Israeli terrorist movement, whose methods include “force and armed struggle”. “Shomer Haztair” (Young Guard) also takes part in the creation of the “Nahal” division, which is meant to conduct actions behind enemy lines. This organization is one of the leaders among the believers in “national fanaticism – Zionism, which accepts no compromise” (“Instructions to winter camp counselors in the CIS” – “Sohnut” publication, 1997 – pgs. 120,129,183,194,195);

The Zionist Federation of Ukraine and the Association of Jewish Communities (VAAD), led by Y. Zissels – member of the World Zionist Organization, World Eurasian and European Jewish congresses. Zissels is a well known stubborn lobbyist of questions of restitution (return) of former Jewish property in Ukraine, to the Jewish State, acting as the “heir”, which means that what we’re talking about is hurting the national interests of Ukraine, which is treason. Besides this, Zissels is accused of (by the Israeli press) organizing so called Jewish centers on territory of the Former Soviet Republics (first of all in Ukraine), which defrauded “hundreds of Jewish families”, which left to go to Israel (see JewishNews.com 20.08.2003);

V. Rabinovich runs the All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress. He is a well known criminal who was diagnosed twice with clinical schizophrenia. This dirty businessman is accused of murders for hire, close ties with international Jewish mafia, the arms trade, organization of mass xenophobic propaganda through sources of mass information (SMI) that he controls, war, rape, hate, corruption, and defamation by both local and international sources of mass information (SMI). V. Rabinovich was replaced by E. Chervonenko, minister or transportation and communication, who was being investigated by the National Reserve [of Ukraine] at the time [of his appointment?]. G. Moskal, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and V. Voronin, carrying [temporarily] responsibilities of the Derzhkomnaz [Country Committee of Nationalities?], along with V. Medvedchuk, D. Tabachnik, V. Pinchuk, O. Feldman, and E. Saprikina, provoked a very long court battle of a Ukrainian mass publication “Silski Visti” (see Shokin, G. Who to vote for? Attempting to answer candidly – K., 2004);

Before joining the above named “congress” the criminal V. Rabinovich, was part of Jewish Fund run by former Kharkiv taxi driver and today’s oligarch O. Feldman, the Congress of Jewish Communities (Rabbi Asman), also the Jewish Mason league “B’nai B’rith” and its parent organization the Anti-defamation league (Levitas and Naiman). “B’nai B’rith” is an international Jewish organization, which is closely tied to international Zionism (Judeo-Nazism – see the “secret history of the Masons”, Platonov, O., -- M.; 2000; Hodos 3, the Jewish Syndrome – Kharkiv 2001-2003), ADL, according to statements by Jewish-American scientist A. Lilienthal. –
“Jewish Gestapos”, whose purpose is to humiliate different types of people who do not follow their ideology, in other words a classic criminal organization (see Lilienthal, A.M. The Zionist Connection II (What Price Peace?) – North American, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 1982).

With this presented, we are dealing with organized Jews which used religious-ethnic organizations to create an evil system in order to get enormously rich at the expense of the Ukrainian people. This [system] is also leading to the humiliation of the titular nation, the nation that created Ukraine, in other words a real Ukrainian genocide.

Historical as well as contemporary examples 

The contemporary state of affairs concerning activities of organized Jews is supported by leading historical events:

In the 10th century the Great Prince Sviatoslav the Brave of Kyiv repressed the Jewish Khazar people, because they became a real threat for the creation of the ancient Russian State, through their [Khazars’] burglarizing-aggressive politics created the Jewish State. 

… [and other such historic examples]

It seems that even today, the activities of organized Jews, mainly headed (as the Bolsheviks) by criminals, result in yearly loss of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people. The criminal character of organized Jews is obvious not only in Ukraine, for example, Jewish oligarchs such as B. Berezovsky, V. Gusinsky, Kirienko, Nemtzov, Yavlinsky, Gaidar, Fradkov and others (see Y. Nudelman – “Soviet Russia” – June 20, 2002). A. Mashkevich, the head of the Eurasian Jewish Congress, is being investigated for criminal activities by British and Belgian authorities. Another Jewish activist of the Central Jewish Power, M. Friedman of Germany, has been accused in court of dealing drugs and organizing a prostitution ring (see “Personal Plus” – pub. # 30, 2004). Recently, there have been reports of apprehension in Boryspol Airport of an assistant of a London Rabbi, who happened to be a drug courier. In other words, workers of organized Jews in many countries of the world are really criminals. This [criminal activities of organized Jews] is a grave danger to national security.

Organized Jewish criminal activities are being reported on by sources of mass information (SMI), while law enforcement personnel are fighting the so called anti-Semitism…for example Pabinovich, Zissels, Tabachnik, Naiman, Katzman, Bleich, Asman, Feldman, and others. To attain their goals, all workers of the organized Jewish community use government power, which under their influence is turned into anti-people criminal regime. This regime, instead of delving out serious punishments for members of organized ethnic-criminal groups, many times reward them with national prizes. For example, Y. Zviagilsky was awarded the title of “Hero of Ukraine”, while V. Medvedchuk, Y. Tabachnik, E. Chervonenko were awarded honors “for merit”. Holders of these Kuchma honors, D. Tabachnik, E. Chervonenko, and V. Rabinovich, and many more representatives of the organized Jewish community, bring down the prestige of national Ukrainian honors.

Demands

After looking at the extent of and taking into account the national security threat the organized Jewish community poses to Ukraine…we demand:

1. The Prosecutor General, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Services for Protection of Ukraine [SBU] be entrusted with a top priority investigation of the activities of Jewish religious-ethnic organizations, and use the results [of the investigation] to bring criminal charges against the guilty parties.

2. In the nearest future Parliament opens hearings regarding questions about activities of organized Jewish community (more specifically the part they [organized Jewish community] played in the falsifications of Presidential elections 2004, enflaming separatist feelings in society, and attempts to start civil war)…We can’t stress enough that it is vital to prepare a law in Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine that punishes those that were responsible for anti-Ukrainian acts, enflaming Ukr[aine-]phobia, and other crimes against the Ukrainian nation.

3. To repeal all laws produced by former President Kuchma to honor workers of organized Jewish community with national Ukrainian honors.

Ukraine Government Responds - 04.22.2005

Statement by State Secretary of Ukraine Oleksandr Zinchenko

Secretariat of the President of Ukraine

Recently, representatives of certain political forces, community organizations, and media in Ukraine took the liberty on embarking on actions and making statements, aimed at inflaming of inter-ethnical animosity, and, in particular, at instigation of anti-Semitic sentiments. The so-called “Open letter of public activists”, which has been publicized recently, evokes special indignation for hurting the national feelings of the numerous Jewish community of Ukraine.

Ukraine strictly adheres to its international obligations in the sphere of human rights, consistently speaks against national intolerance and xenophobia, and categorically condemns any manifestations of anti-Semitism.

The Orange Revolution has once again proven that the Ukrainian people strive to build their nation on the principles of inter-ethnic harmony and tolerance; and the leadership of Ukraine will be consistent and determined in enforcing these principles.

President of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko has always been straightforward and unambiguous in his statements regarding inadmissibility of the actions and appeals that question the inherent to the Ukrainian society tolerant attitude to different nationalities, plant the seeds of contention, and ruin inter-ethnical concord in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian state will provide adequate political and legal assessment of such actions, and all measures, envisaged by the acting legislation, will be taken in respect to the individuals, who embark on such actions.

Politicians and mass media should always, and in particular, at this point, strengthen civil peace and concord in the society, and pay special attention to such an important and sensitive sphere as inter-ethnic relations.

JTA - 04.27.2005

Group commends Ukrainian government

(JTA) A group that monitors Jewish life in the former Soviet Union commended the Ukrainian government for denouncing anti-Semitism. 

“It’s a good first step in responding to the problem,” Mark Levin, executive director of NCSJ: Advocates on Behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States & Eurasia, said after Aleksandr Zinchenko, Ukraine’s state secretary, pledged that Ukraine would defend human rights and oppose intolerance and xenophobia, including anti-Semitism. Zinchenko’s comment was a response to an anti-Semitic letter circulated in the former Soviet republic earlier this month. Levin said his group would like to see the speaker of the Parliament also condemn the letter.
