I have coined the word “Banderastan” to refer to the rump-Ukraine currently controlled by the Nazi junta in Kiev. The term, of course, is a reference to the Ukie “hero” Stepan Bandera combined with the Persian suffix “stan” which means “land of”. Of course, in reality, rump-Ukraine (that is the Ukraine as it was between 1991 and 2014 minus Crimea and minus the Donbass) is not controlled by the junta and its correct designation should really be “US/NATO occupied Ukraine”. But by calling it “Banderastan” I also refer to the uniquely Ukrainian ideological madness which gravitates around the cult of Stepan Bandera and the ideology of hate and self-worship which it conveys. I have written enough about this rabid form of nationalism before, so today I want to illustrate less noticed aspect of this ideology: its sheer psychopathology.
Check out the following video. It was jointly produced by the Creative agency Adventa LOWE, ADV Group Ukraine and the production studio LimeLite for the 23rd celebraton of the Ukraine’s Independence Day. The message at the end simply says “The Ukraine is hardened to pain”. And this is supposed to be a patriotic, inspiring, clip. This is how the creators explained their goals:
The goal of the team is to encourage the (Ukrainian) people and show their love for their country. Because over the past 10 months, the Ukraine has experienced so much, that would be enough for ten years and ten states. Therefore, the authors would like to honor a difficult path that the country is facing today, and leave an optimistic message for all Ukrainians.
Please note that the design, the pattern, which you see the person shown in the movie stitching on himself is a typical Ukrainian decorative pattern usually seen on a traditional Ukrainian shirt called a vyshivanka. Now see the video for yourself:
The first scary thing in this video is that the pain is clearly and unambiguously self-inflicted. Second, that this pain is clearly an integral part of the aesthetic appeal of the clip along with the music and the trance-like dance. Far from showing it as something disgusting (like self-mutilation is), this clip glorifies as beautiful and noble self-inflicted pain. Frankly, in a happy and hedonistic society which is bored out of its mind and seeks some extreme emotions form piercing, this would really be no big deal. But in a country torn apart by a vicious and bloody civil war, this king of glorification of pain as some kind of part of the national ethos is scary.
And make no mistake. Behind all the agencies which produced the clip stand the regime. This is quite easy to show. The actor in the clip, Mikhail Gavrilyuk, is well-known for his participation in junta-backed disinformation campaigns and this clip is the junta’s idea of something like a “patriotic public service announcement”. Scary, scary shit…
No wonder the folks of Novorussia want absolutely nothing to do with these freaks and their Banderastani ideology. Can you imagine what any mentally sane person would feel when these freaks show up in their village and declare that henceforth they are the “authorities”?
I would most definitely grab my AK and also join the Resistance.
The Saker
Stan is Serbian word :) Stan is flat or homestead. There are more than few words in Persian with Serbian origin.
That video screams gay and looks like an advert for some piercing and tattoo studio catering to the S&M gay fetish. The actor looks like a gay pride marcher from Fan Francisco. Which is probably a reflection of the people who made it – typical nazi mentality S&M gays. The sort of warped creatures the ZPC/NWO favours most to run their hell holes.

Russia stabbed in the back by Iran ?
This is 100%, absolutely gay, absolutely sadomasochistic and absolutely schizoid crap. Ukraine is turned into an ugly, mental hospital where the doctors are sicker then the patients. Very sad and pathetic.
Must read about the character of Putin and all the anti Putin propaganada
http://www.russiaotherpointsofview.com/2014/04/russia-report-putin-.html
by Sharon Tennison
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Citizen_Initiatives
The Center for Citizen Initiatives is the brainchild of an American citizen, Sharon Tennison, who in the early 1980s determined in a period of desperation to try to reduce tensions between the two superpowers. Tennison and a growing group of business and professional Americans made the decision to try their hands at diplomacy and began putting together their first trip to the “land of the enemy.”
I’m not as shocked as all that, perhaps because I view this as part of a continuum with Femen, Пизда Бунт, and and other satanic stunts West has been sponsoring for years. Par for the course, etc. Sign of madness, for sure.
´Behind all the agencies which produced the clip stands the regime.´
If this only was true…
And, no- the video does not scream gay-.
These are only attributes. It only shows how deep propaganda and brainwashing can go.
This is still in the ´no logo´ sphere (Naomi Klein, ´no logo´).
Like the Obama:´yes we can´…
What we see is a larva, a baby insect, being primed. Nothing in itself is a crime.
But we have seen relatively harmless hooligans and flag waving adolescents join up with criminals to become totally non human killers.
Very similar to the starry eyed school drop-out jihadis joining ISIS: within a few months they are chopping off heads and selling women and children to rich arabs..
The video tells me that the USSA is programming the Ukraine people to act like the ISIS nihilists, who supposedly celebrate death over life. Clearly the USSA wants the Ukies to destroy themselves attacking Russia, weakening both countries. The good news is that Ukies, unlike wahabis, are far better educated, and gulible and will eventually figure out who their real enemies are. In the long run, this is good for Russia
After the clip was shot, Gavrilyuk rushed to munich in ecstasy, digging for his hero. ;-)

Saker, obviously the regime is insane as it is sending the country’s sons to kill and to perish because Uncle Sam wants war. And anyone supporting that regime is insane as well, or at least insanely ruthless and evil. But this can only be a fraction of people in Western Ukraine. Self-inflicted pain … makes me think of the video entitled »Militia ambushed a Right Sector Transport« by elektropostman on Youtube. Right Sector guys should reflect how they could do their country a service, which is by going to Kiev and putting Porkoshenko and Ratsenyuk on the Maidan – on the Gallow.

Russia stabbed in the back by Iran ?
I saw this article by Mike Whitney yesterday, but I could not find any confirmation of it, either yesterday or today. Mike is usually a reliable source, but I question the validity of assertion that the Nabucco gas line from Iran is gaining traction. It is true, however, that South Stream is suffering another setback. I trust that this is only temporary, however.
Must be careful not to interpret this from a bourgeois Western mind-set, but seriously, my first thought was: self-harm is always a sign of emotional frustration and powerlessness.
Maybe I should go more Central European and waffle on about the Death Drive or Thanatos?
This could become a viral video among bored teens in Western Europe: a kind of Ukie Jackass.
I’d bet that the suspected gay ‘nazi’ pedophile Lyashko likes the clip.
For a good context on the rise of Ukrainian Nationalism, may I strongly recommend the following academic paper – written BEFORE the current explosion in the Ukraine (& therefore unlikely to be partisan or politicized):
“The Return of the Ukrainian Far Right
The Case of VO Svoboda”
by Per Anders Rudling
http://www.academia.edu/2481420/_The_Return_of_the_Ukrainian_Far_Right_The_Case_of_VO_Svoboda_in_Ruth_Wodak_and_John_E._Richardson_eds._Analyzing_Fascist_Discourse_European_Fascism_in_Talk_and_Text_London_and_New_York_Routledge_2013_228-255
Rudling is the real deal – having studied all over the place particularly in Alberta, Canada (a hotbed of the Ukrainian diaspora). You will find other articles & comments of his on the net on this topic.
There are still a few lone voices in Kiev lamenting the rise of the Far Right. Such as Volodymyr Ishchenko, Sergei Kirichuk & others – you can find their writings on the net.
I imagine however, that life may become very dangerous for such people – remaining in Kiev as they do – and as such they should be seen as VERY BRAVE men & respect is due.
So the Ukies are a nation of closeted gay S&M freaks with latent homoerotic tendencies?
No wonder America is supporting them!
After all, America is the Leader of the Gay World, with its gays in the ilitary, pro sports, and probably Congress and White House!
Not tht there is anything wrong with that. ;-)
As “gay” is the watchword here you might want to check this video which I found very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yLbF0BtZs4 with the title “Why Jews push Gay marriage”
@NotSoFast: Oooooh, not him again. Friend, please believe me, “Brother Nathanael” is mentally insane. It is a real sad case of a probably well meaning person completely gone fishing and not realizing all the damage he is doing to the very causes he tries to defend. Please don’t take seriously a single word he says, really, he makes Alex Jones look credible…
The Saker
If one wanted evidence of Ukraine’s descent into the dark places that insanity knows then this video is certain evidence of that.
Self harm as a metaphor for national pride?

Stan is derivative of Sthan which in Sanskrit means the abode or home Of__
This was adopted by the persians Another Aryan race just like Sanskrit speaking North Indians. That is why we have a lot of places ending in Sthan (as in Hindusthan) in India as in all those places where the aryans migrated from India in the central Asia and Iranian plateua.
Oh Dear Lord. They’re prepping people for the long haul (into serfdom): if you love Ukraine, you gotta love pain. What I’m wondering is how long it’ll take for all that mess of thread — or holes from thread if he was bright enough to remove it — to get disgustingly infected. It’ll be real patriotic then — a bit blurry perhaps but certainly the same colors. Banderastan could collapse a lot sooner, though, if this becomes a fad. I don’t think I’m ever going to look at one of those shirts again in the same way though.
The Banderisti are Rightwingers, and ‘Rightwing’ is simply a euphemism for psychopath. They are the type who dominate the West and its stooge states, because of the triumph of the manifestation of psychopathy in social and economic action, Market Fundamentalist capitalism, favours psychopaths and empowers them, at the expense of the morally sane.
The triumph of these psychotics is manifest in myriad ways. There is the insanely destructive cult of unceasing growth (which only benefits the few while the majority sink into ever deeper misery)which is destroying the habitability of the planet for our species. There is the bizarre rejection of ‘Enlightenment values’ of rationality and scientific progress manifest in the parasites’ various campaigns of denialism of these ecological catastrophes. There is the implosion of the neo-liberal economic system under grotesque and growing inequality and massive debt, a systemic crisis met by demands by the parasite caste that there should be more and more of the same policy that produced the neo-feudal disaster.
And, of course, there is the geo-political crisis, where the habitual hyper-aggression and bullying of the USA and its Western stooges is reaching truly deranged depths of recklessness in the aggressions against Russia and the mounting tide of hateful propaganda aimed at China. The Western psychopaths who rule the world are absolutely capable of destroying the world if they no longer control and rule it, because that Divine Dispensation was promised them by God. I really think that Putin marked himself for elimination when he ridiculed the USA’s claim to ‘Exceptionalism’. The Madmen in Mordor on the Potomac really see themselves as a quasi-divine Elect, and laughing at their preposterous presumption only enrages them. War between Russia and China and the West is absolutely inevitable if the West cannot bring Russia and China down through subversion and sanction.
@Mulga Mumblebrain,
Not to say others have not made some very valid points but your comment hits the nail on the head for the most part. Here in the Nation formerly know as Canada, the psychotic Harper Regime is the embodiment of the ills that plague the planet.
From their Evangelical (flat earth) ideology to their self proclaimed status as Christian Zionists to their utterly failed Economic (extraction) Action Plan that has not only cost us 100’s of millions of dollars in tax payer funded propaganda for non-existent jobs that has facilitated and created the largest debt in our history.
Oddly enough, as far as “sanctions” go, their own Loyalists and talking heads concede that we are beholden to China and any attempts at sanctions against her will decimate our entire economy.
For those less informed about the Harper Regime, they have decimated pretty much every sector in favour of resource extraction and banksters ponzi schemes such as condo flipping that are heavily subsidized by taxes collected from the serfs.
Our health systems, military, infrastructure and schools are seriously underfunded to give the illusion of progress as corporate taxes plummet, certain favoured demographics, (their core base of approx 15%), get targeted tax reductions/subsidies and resource extraction royalties are the lowest of any resource based economy.
These bubbles will surely burst as they are designed to do. The lesser known bubble that is ready to burst is related to the “Commodities Super Cycle” that will affect all one-trick pony economies, such as ours.
In short, it will take at least a couple of generations at least to just pay off our current debt.
Basically, everything that is wrong with neocon driven neoliberal supply side economics can be found right here. Harper ran with this theme in the 2006 stolen election with the infamous quote “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m through with it”. He was not kidding, the proof is in the Tar Sands…
DumpHarper!
(part 1)
I want to note an article penned by Alexander Dugin concerning Igor Strelkov, the mythological hero emerging from archaic human history to stand against the slide of post modern man (illustrated by the video of the self mutilating hatred and despair) into the abyss of neo-liberal scientific dictatorship crushing human empathy, reason, and will with a juggernaut of violence, deception, and fear.
Dugin believes Strelkov is a hero needed to nurture the memory and will to action and resistance. Igor Strelkov is a striking contrast to the tragic figure of suffering degraded humanity in the video.
Here are some google translated excerpts from Alexander Dugin: Igor Strelkov, il nome del Mito russo.
“We need to understand that the role of Igor Strelkov is crucial. This is a model of Russian idealist, conservative, a true patriot who has destroyed the gulf between the principles and actions; This abyss is the crippling scourge of our patriotism. When the Russians realized that deep in their values are ridiculed, their interests, sold, or that their government is under the control not of the best, but the most vile, well, what do they do? Droop, bleat, blame the intellectual elites…..”
“It is in this context that Strelkov appeared. Russian. Austere. Naive and shy. An idealist. With principles. In times of peace, probably not necessary and, in some ways, awkwardly. So he drives the front lines of a People’s War (Narod-in Russian-German Volk). On his own initiative. And so, he breaks the chains of powerlessness, dispelling the fog of fear, despair and dell’avvilimento the inability to transform ideals into action……”
(part 2)
“The hatred of Strelkov is a race towards the enemy, not in the biological sense, but spiritual. The breed of technocrats, along with bureaucrats, manipulators, and merchants. Werner Sombart used to say that there are two kinds of people: the race of merchants and that of the heroes. The Europe of Modernity is the result of the triumph of merchants (capitalism) on the race of heroes (the Middle Ages). Strelkov is the Russian Middle Ages. After all, Orthodoxy itself can not be “modern” would be a travesty, a sham. It could be Ancient or Medieval. “Modernity” is the heritage of the Antichrist. Thus, Strelkov comes from what once was. Not that which was, and which is now no longer, but rather what it really was, and still is, as the core of our souls, as an arcane fulcrum Russian identity.
Now we need to fully understand what it means Strelkov for us. But that kind of anger that he inspires in all spirits cruel, that kind of envy that empty characters feel toward him, the hatred that leads to the West and the Junta, all this points to the fact that he is not the result of chance it is not something accidental. Once again, not as a person on an individual level, but as the bearer of the Russian character. A real Russian understands everything about Strelkov. He is us. A Narod (Volk). Narod that is awakening.
I would really ask anyone who listens to my words to deal with this personality gently. He is our cultural legacy of enormous value. This is the reason why so many want him dead, they want to get rid of him, and minimize what is volgarizzarlo. You must defend the Myths, the way Strelkov fought and still fights for Novorussia, the Great Russia, and for each of us…..”
I think the empathy, reason, and will on this blog places Vineyard of the Saker in the realm of mythological heroes along with Igor Strelkov! The internet has become a technology amplifying the voices and deeds of heroes of the resistance to the degradation and despair of modern man.
Please spare us this utterly useless and banal trash.
Saker you are too easily impressed (“scary shit”). There is nothing scary about a closet homosexual idiot effeminately waving his weak and delicately muscled torso while sewing his skin as a moronic homage to his Scythian/Sarmartian/Ruthenian/etc. roots.
Homesexuality and Nazism are recurring theme and consistent with people that are thoroughly confused about their identity (be it ethnic identity, sexual identity or sexual orientation) coupled with their pathetic self-pitying self-loathing.
Can we have some real news instead of beating a dead-horse that the Junta/Neo-Nazis/Banderites/etc. are demented perverted morons and degenerates – We understood that a lonnng time ago.
So tell us, what is the state of Donbass resistance now that the Ukie horde of idiots have entered Lugansk? How come they are gaining neighborhood after neighborhood? Or is that disinfo? If it is disinfo why don’t you provide us with news that proves that.

“Stan” is slavic, that means home or flat in Yugoslav/Serbain language for example.
That “Vishywanka” is not really Ukrainian, but occult. That is the seal of Saturn (Satan) pattern:

Or simply put, those guys are freemasons/satanists. Oh wonders…
@ the “dump Harper” guy: please stop being stupid. Harper is nothing more than a colonial governeur.
Your Canada is a part of the “Commonwealth of nations” i.e. the British Empire. The Queen is your supreme ruler and commander, so if you want to “dump” anything, that would be the british colonial rule and serfdom to the empire. Harper has about as much say in reality as do you and I – zero.
Seems to me to be cleverly crafted psychological manipulation, bending the minds of Western Ukrainian youth in preparation for war. Sewing the skin references primitive tribal male rites of passage conducted through tests of pain endurance. The use of the national symbol in this rite evokes a transformation of Ukrainian male identity into that of warrior.

It is not so important, but the word “stan”, as it is used in this text, is not Serbian word. In Serbian, it means just “apartment”, and that word is originally Persian, as it was properly said in text, and it means “the land”. You can see more here:

Don’t be shy, dicer. If it’s disinfo, you’ll have to tell us; we don’t know where you’ve been. Why should the Saker spoon-feed you everything? … especially as he’s celebrating the birth of his new child. Moon of Alabama is telling it very differently from you.
What’s your hurry, anyway? A week from now, any disinfo will have rebutted itself, or not. You call the “Ukies” idiots, yet seem to believe their every word, unless specifically refuted by Saker. And you call him “too easily impressed”!

What you are stating is very true to a great extent. We understand this and it is clearly evident by the Harper Regime’s religious fascination with the Hollywood Monarch. What you must understand is that the only way to sever those ties is to remove Harper and “his” Loyalists. His Regime has done everything possible to rekindle the connection to the Crown of Thorns. It is for that reason that all of Harper’s failures and treasonist and traitorist activities that undermine our Nation must be exposed and exploited. Once that is done and as demographics shift, the Monarchists can then be circumvented and a referendum can be relaunched. The way forward to separating ourselves from the Commonwealth can only be achieved by eliminating those that stand in the way of independence. The first and most important step is removing and eliminating the neocon influence first and foremost since a referendum cannot occur as long as the Harper minority holds our Government structures hostage by way of electoral frauds that gave them a majority, considering the majority, contrary to the propaganda, wants to be independent. Hopefully that addresses your concerns and explains our mission and goals…
DumpHarper!
