Ivan Katchanovski says he has been added to the notorious Mirotvorets list for “launching a campaign against” WWII Nazi veteran
Canadian political scientist Ivan Katchanovski has been added to the notorious Ukrainian state-linked Mirotvorets ‘kill list,’ for his alleged involvement in Russian information operations, for “manipulation of socially significant information,” and for spreading anti-Ukrainian as well as Russian “propaganda myths.”
The scholar, who is a part-time professor at the University of Ottawa, described his inclusion on the list as “Orwellian” and linked the move to his study of the Ukrainian far-right.
According to Katchanovski, his post with US-based tech mogul Elon Musk “about Nazi SS Galicia veteran,” his tweet about a “neo-Nazi Azov leader, who gave Nazi salute in front of Nazi flag,” and his “academic study of far-right involvement” in Maidan “are posted by Myrotvorets as evidence of a ‘deliberate act against the national security of Ukraine, the peace, the security of humanity and the international legal order, as well as other offenses’.”
In a post on X on Sunday, Katchanovski wrote that he is “on Myrotvorets hit list for ‘launching [a] campaign against’ an SS Galicia Division veteran hailed as a hero in Canada parliament” – an apparent reference to Yaroslav Hunka. The 99-year-old came into the spotlight in 2023 when he appeared in the Canadian parliament as a guest during a visit by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, and received a standing ovation. (more...)
