Nazism in Ukraine Began in Schools and Kindergartens, Pushilin Says

Nazism in Ukraine has been funded and nurtured from outside, said Denis Pushilin, the leader of the Donetsk People's Republic, in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"Nazi ideology... And it was funded and nurtured from abroad. Who was it relying on, the descendants of Nazi accomplices, criminals like Bandera and Shukhevych? This is the first focal point," he stated.

He elaborated that Nazism in Ukraine began in schools and kindergartens, explaining, "If you look now, the evidence is massive - what school literature is currently widespread, and what they are trying to implant into the minds of the youth. In some places, they succeed. It is very difficult for even an adult to understand and study it. And when teenagers go through a difficult time, when they are forming as individuals, it is easy and accessible to influence them on certain things. And this has been exploited," added the DPR leader.
