Former Verkhovna Rada member Irina Farion, who had clashed with ‘Azov’ over speaking Russian, has been shot in Lviv

Neo-Nazi ex-MP shot dead in Ukraine

Snip:

"Farion was a member of ‘Svoboda’ (Freedom), formerly known as the Social-National Party of Ukraine, led by neo-Nazi Oleg Tyagnibok. She expressed open sympathy for WWII neo-Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera."

Someone just shot her dead. Unclear at this point if it was anti-fascist resistance or a rival Neo-Nazi Banderite grouping that killed her. She was such an extreme Neo-Nazi that she even accused Russian-speaking Banderites of not being "true Ukrainians" and made many enemies.

  • While in parliament, she championed a total ban on the use of Russian language in Ukraine. In January last year, she famously told the media that her grandson Dmitry was hitting Russian-speaking children at his kindergarten. Several months later, she called anyone who lived in Ukraine but did not speak Ukrainian “biological waste.”

    This hard line led her to clash with other nationalists. Last November, Farion said that Russian-speaking members of ‘Azov’ were not proper Ukrainians, drawing the ire of Maksim Zhorin and Bogdan Krotevich, two veterans of the notorious neo-Nazi unit.

    LMAO she was too much of a nazi for Azov
