Ukrainian Nationalists won’t let Jews come to power!
Hello! I’m a Jew, who lives in Ukraine. According to what I know, many people in Europe are sure that Ukrainian government and top politics are all Jews. That’s a great mistake! Yes, there are a few Jew in Ukrainian political establishment but their number is by far exceeded with local Nationalists and xenophobes! Their behavior in attitude to Jewish politicians of Ukraine is outright insolent! Take, for example, the most recent incident involving Mayer of Uzhgorod, Sergei Ratushnyak, and Arseni Yatsenyuk, who is a presidential candidate and a Jew like me. Mayer Ratushnyak miscalled Yatsenyuk with words abusive to every Jew. Of course, Yatsenyuk lodged a complaint to president’s secretariat but president Yushchenko underreacted, to be more specific he gave no reaction at all! He did not even apply any sanctions against Ratushnyak because he hates Jews, too! Because of people like Ratushnyak and Yushchenko this country is turning into a real Nazi state!
