When Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin earlier this month, the mainstream media was forced to confront perspectives and events they’ve omitted in their analysis of the Ukraine war since its beginning. Among the most important of these events was the Maidan coup in 2014, which the U.S. government funded and saw the overthrow of the democratically elected, allegedly pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych.
On this episode of Journalists for Sale, Dr. Ivan Katchanovski, a professor at the University of Ottawa and expert on the Maidan coup, details the evidence behind what he has called a “false flag mass killing of the Maidan protesters,” that was carried out by snipers who worked with Maidan politicians from far-right neo-Nazi parties in Ukraine. Katcahanovski also explains the censorship he’s faced for the evidence-based findings of his two published peer-reviewed articles on the subject, and how Wikipedia teamed up with editors from far-right Ukrainian militias to malign his character and censor his studies.
Both through his work and the consequences he’s faced for it, Katcahanovski, who has had his house and private property seized by the Ukrainian government as a result of his studies, sheds light on the illusion of the war in Ukraine as a conflict of the enlightened democratic West versus the expansionist despotic East.
