THE DYNAMICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEO-NAZISM IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the causes, forms and dynamics of the development of neo-Nazism in Ukraine. The author analyzes the reasons and events behind the need for the leaders of Ukraine at different stages to resort to radical Ukrainian, russophobic, and, at the last stage, neo-Nazi rhetoric. A cross-temporal political analysis of the processes of development of neo-Nazi ideology and its popularization among the population of both Ukraine as a whole and among the Russian-speaking population of the southeastern regions is carried out. It is assumed that the processes of popularization of the Ukrainian language and culture logically transformed into radical ukrainization, and subsequently into neo-Nazism, and all these processes were supervised by the United States to create a deeply russophobic state, the population of which would be distinguished by a high degree of hatred for Russia and the Russian world. The article also emphasizes that the process of radicalization of the views of the population of Ukraine towards Russia has been carried out for thirty years and became possible only after the formation of a new generation that no longer associated itself with Russia and a single historical past.
