There are several dozen such organizations. Apart from Freedom House, which Bogdan Khmelnitsky mentions in his article, there are Pilip Orlik Foundation, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Moscow branch of Keston College also known as Center for Study of Religion and Communism Ltd., and, of course, organizations created by George Soroz. The "wooing" of the future elite starts at school. Speaking in an interview with Kiev-based Zerkalo nedeli paper as early as 1997, Soroz Foundation Ukrainian branch chief Bogdan Gavrilishin claimed that his outfit had published over 90 titles of school history textbooks devoted to "anti-colonial" (i.e., anti-Russian) themes. One of these mentions four (!) Russian-Ukrainian wars. The fostering of pro-American elite continues in major universities. For example, the Atlantic Center, actually the press service of the NATO representation in Ukraine, has for several years been based in the Kiev State University. The Kiyevo-Mogilyanskaya Academy, which trains managerial personnel, is under the same sort of tutelage. The Academy students had a rare piece of luck, what with Zbigniew Brzezinsky "himself," honorary citizen of the city of Lvov, delivering them a lecture. Directed by the U.S. Embassy, these organizations openly interfere in the Ukrainian political process. A well-known student of the Russian emigre community, Mikhail Nazarov, asserts the U.S. side was very selective about its financing of anticommunist organizations, with only those that favored partition of historical Russia eligible for aid. All others, including supporters of a Russian-Belarussian-Ukrainian federation, were given no aid whatsoever and their very existence was glossed over in silence. But let us go back to modernity. The early operation to play up Yushchenko and fan the "cassette" scandal was run by the Ukrainian branch of Radio Liberty and Zerkalo nedeli, Kiev's biggest Russian-language newspaper characterized not otherwise than "the mouthpiece of the U.S. Embassy." The Zerkalo nedeli cropped up as the Ukrainian outgrowth of the U.S. Russian-language newspaper Novoye Russkoye Slovo. Today, ZN is the mouthpiece of Yushchenko and his bloc, which is made up of Rukh and the Reforms and Order party. In spring 2001, George Soroz wrote President Kuchma an open letter, in which he declared that he was wrapping up his operations in Ukraine pending Kuchma's departure from his post. Soroz suggested that he go as soon as possible and stated his support for Yushchenko and Timoshenko. A forthright man he is. Well, Ukraine will manage without him somehow. Particularly without his textbooks. But dozens of other foundations, public organizations and "charities" are still in place. According to information from Kiev sources, there are plans to launch a number of actions shortly with the aim of playing up former Prime Minister Yushchenko. One of these will be inducing the collapse of a number of commercial banks (Ukraina Bank among others), which cater to the agro-industrial complex. After that the Kinakh Government will be accused of inability to ensure wage payments in the countryside, which under Yushchenko were solely at the expense of Western credits. Kiev observers put forward the following story of Yushchenko's political career. It is asserted that after the death of his political "father," National Bank Governor Viktor Getman, young politician Yushchenko was left without a "chaperon" and found the new patron in former Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Zhulinsky, one of the most rabidly anti-Russian politicians in Ukraine. Yet another dark side of the "Brzezinsky plan" involves operation of Ukrainian pro-fascist organizations like UNA-UNSO. In accordance with information from Kiev sources, Brzezinsky ordered precisely that organization to become the leader of nationalist organizations in the post-Soviet space. The case in point is not only separatist movements in the Caucasus and the Volga area. In 1997, UNSO signed in Moscow a cooperation agreement with the marginal, pro-fascist People's National Party. One should view in the same context organization of "Chechen information centers" in Ukraine. The said foundations are actively in support of the Greek Catholic Church. ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
