OCTOBER 14, 22 YEARS SINCE "TRYZUB" WAS FOUNDED

October 14 marked 22 years since the All-Ukrainian nationalist movement "Tryzub" named after Stepan Bandera, However, this date isn't a reason for great celebrations.

During last two years Ukraine passed through a number of colossal historical challenges. During all this time the Ukrainian nationalists in general and the members of "Tryzub" particularly have proved own love to the Motherland and readiness to sacrifice themselves for the freedom of Ukraine being on the cutting edge of struggle for its interests! Nationalists were an engine of the revolutionary struggle against Yanukovych's anti-Ukrainian criminal regime. During the war at the frontline and in the rear the nationalists have proved ancestors their right to keep the sacred red-black flag of national-liberation struggle in their hands! Moreover, a nationalist factor has played another positive role, namely, being multiplied by a protests moods into the society it didn't allowed the government to lead the country by defeatist way since the start of Moscovia's invasion.  Exactly the members of "Tryzub" have formed a core of the "Right Sector" revolutionary-nationalist movement, which has played the main role in battles with Yanukovych's servants, further, after the start of war the "Tryzub" members have formed a core of the "Right Sector" Ukrainian Volunteer Corps. Nevertheless, the fear of nationalists was not enough to force the government to act within the national interests. As a result we see the end of war through passing of defeatist laws and the notorious "counter-revolution" (actually, "counter-revolution" is a controversial term because the nationalist revolution wasn't completed in Ukraine due to Moscovia's invasion, which was so beneficial for Poroshenko's government and so called "Western partners"). Currently the situation is disappointing on three fronts, namely on political-military and geo-political, internal and inside the nationalist movement.

The war and geo-policy: The main goal of every war is protection of increasing of a state freedom, sovereignty and a national interests. The war, which broke out at the east of Ukraine last year had to be a war for territorial integrity and renewing of true state sovereignty. Instead, it turned into a disgrace and even greater limitation of sovereignty. The internal occupation regime, leaded by Poroshenko maneuvered between the aggressor connivance policy and imitation of resistance to the enemy's invasion. Dozens of thousands of the Ukrainian patriots were forced to be just a spectators in theatrical performance, directed by the president. Instead of real struggle for the freedom of the nation we had observed how the Moscow and so-called western partners made a common decisions about the future of our Motherland. Ukraine remains a buffer zone, control over which is divided between powerful external players as it was before the Maidan.

Internal situation. Currently, the situation inside the country is characterized by persistence of anti-Ukrainian, anti-national governmental system in all its areas, it's clear that old, criminal schemas still run into economics, internal and external policy, in the sphere of state adjustment and the judicial system. The government's lustration according to the criteria of patriotism, professional competence and honesty became a farce. The main goal of the state elites in multiplying of own wealth, which leads the impoverishment of an ordinary Ukrainians. Changes in humanitarian field was also just an imitation, in addition of filling the Ukrainian informational space with the Russian production we observe an attempts of imposing of so-called "western social values," characterized by radical-liberal dictatorship and aimed to destruction of a family institution, degeneration of national cultural values, etc. Thank God, Ukrainian patriots were able to prevent the holding of gay-parade in the heart of our Motherland and number of other "measures." Another eloquent evidence of the fact that Poroshenko's government continues an anti-national policy of its predecessor is the number of political prisoners, which is even higher than in Yanukovych's times, especially at the background of total impunity of clear anti-Ukrainian activists and the Kremlin's fifth column into the government. 

The nationalist movement. Nationalists, who been faithful to a revolutionary path of struggle gained a substantial support among the society, expand their ranks, experience of armed struggle, and financial resources. But, despite this, the nationalist movement made a number of strategic mistakes and faced with the danger to be destroyed completely.

Intelligence agencies, which serve the internal occupational regime have made a great effort to destroy and divide the nationalist movement from inside. It happened not in a form of a single powerful blow, but as a systematic demoralizing and destructive work by the way of infiltration agents, incitement quarrels inside the movement, attempts to "assimilate" and "tame" the nationalist movement, control the adoption of strategic decisions. Moreover, such attempts to divide and smash the nationalist movement were made also by the representatives of oligarchy-political circles.

Saving of the nationalist movement and the fulfillment of its main goal is impossible without overcoming of all these harmful phenomenons. The national revolution is no alternative way. To finish our national revolution we must rebuild the nationalist movement on its clear fundamental principles! 

Don't need to think that all the negative aspects mentioned above don't relate to the "Tryzub," all the intelligence agencies' activities were aimed to destruction of our movement first of all! So first we must to do in this situation is to mobilize an efforts and continue to move to our goal!

A monolithic group of faithful to the idea patriots is able to do much more than a "salad" in which is mixed a revolutionary nationalism and unprincipled opportunism. Therefore, with God's help, under St. Mary's patronage, led by Archangel Michael - to victory!
