The descendants of these people lobby the government to have their ancestors whitewashed and celebrated, Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the UN, explained, referring to an incident in September involving an elderly Ukrainian-Canadian man named Yaroslav Hunka.
"Neo-Nazi ideology or nationalist ideology, unfortunately, has a very strong influence in Canada. I think this is obvious," the Russian official said. "The [Justin] Trudeau government is somewhat a hostage [to the situation]."
Polyansky noted that the large number of Nazi war criminals that entered Canada after World War II had children and grandchildren in the country, and so the situation in which Hunka, a 98-year-old veteran of the SS Galicia Division, was honored in the Canadian parliament in September was hardly "surprising."
A scandal erupted when Hunka, who served with the notorious 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, which is known to have committed atrocities against Jews and Poles during World War II, received a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in attendance.
The Waffen SS veteran was introduced as a "hero" who fought "for Ukrainian independence against the Russians" during World War II.
At the time, Canada's immigration minister, Marc Miller, admitted that the country has "a really dark history with Nazis," saying that at one point, "it was easier to get in [to Canada] as a Nazi than it was as a Jewish person."
Following backlash from Jewish organizations, House Speaker Anthony Rota, who invited Hunka to the event, accepted full responsibility for the incident and has since resigned. Trudeau offered "unreserved apologies" for applauding the Nazi veteran.
In October, Russia's Investigative Committee charged Hunka in absentia with genocide, claiming that archive documents serve as evidence that he and fellow SS Galicia members killed at least 500 civilians between February 23 and 28, 1944. Russian media outlets later reported that the country's Interior Ministry placed him on its official database of wanted individuals.

to a russian, a nazi was someone who killed their grandparents or great grandparents. the nazi's they are speaking of in articles like this are ukrainians who hate russians.
to a ukrainian(except for the russian speaking ones) the russians killed their grandparents or great grandparents. when they speak of russians, they are actually speaking of soviet communists(hardly russian in makeup), who starved their families during the holdomor.
it's really confusing.
We're actually worse though, since we are "led" by blatant jews and sellout whites, like Biden the undead white trash pedo.
Yiddish for Aryan Jews.
Khazars, whose nation tried to avoid war (!) by adopting Judaism, when sandwiched between Islamic Persia and Christian Russia. The Russians saw through that and wiped them out. They refugees invested heavily in banking. They hate Islam for their ban in uury, but like Catholicism and Protestantism, as they changed the Pater Noster to tresspasses from debt!
It is all about debt. Making people borrow and the roundabout starts with the music stopping 60 nto 70 years later. Except when they get so rich they take over governments!
Um, I believe the present day Canada under Trudeau's WEF inspired leadership would be the opposite of nationalist. Trump was railroaded for being accused of being a nationalist, which the globalists say is a outdated concept. However, the Nazis immigrating to Canada I can attest to, my brother and I were in BC in the 80's and stopped by some neighbor's house to talk to some young friends we had previously met, they weren't there, but the elderly German mother-in-law met us in the yard, drunk on her husband's homemade wine and pointed a pistol at us calling us dirty Jews.(were both Irish) Not sure what set her off about us, i believe she was having a flashback of an earlier time.
