Andriy Shkil, leader of the UNA-UNSO and one of the tackiest Ukrainian politicians, and Stepan Khmara, a former dissident, were among those who signed a letter to Yushchenko (in Ukrainian), asking him to quickly do something about "organized Jewry" in Ukraine. Both Shkil and Khmara are members of Yulia Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna Party. The letter is remindful of the one written in Russia earlier this year - only the Ukrainian copy has gotten a lot more signees and a lot less publicity.

In Lviv today, someone painted a swastika and wrote this on the wall of the wonderful 14th-century Armenian church: "Armenians, the other kikes, get out of Lviv." According to Korrespondent.net (in Russian), the slur was signed by "Stepan Bandera's UPA."
