Almost twenty years ago, a self-described “National Socialist” group picketed the U.S. embassy in Kyiv following the death of U.S. neo-Nazi leader David Lane. The so-called “Ukrainian National Labor Party” (UNTP) called on “all Ukrainian NS [National Socialists] and patriots” to “pay tribute to the hero of our time” and “protest against the anti-white policies of the USA, which is not only decaying from within, but also forcing the whole world to submit to Judaism.”

A year later, the UNTP joined the “Social-National Assembly” led by Andriy Biletsky, also known as “White” and “White Vozhd” (a Russian/Ukrainian equivalent to “Führer”) in those days. His manifesto at the time infamously declared, “The historical mission of our Nation, in this turning century, is to lead and rally the white peoples of the world in the final crusade for their existence – a campaign against Semite-led subhumanity.” It also said that “Social-Nationalism champions all the ancient Ukrainian Aryan values forgotten in modern society. Only their revival and implementation by a group of fanatical fighters can lead to the ultimate victory of European civilization in the global struggle.” Biletsky’s ultimate goal is the construction of a neo-Nazi “superstate-empire” called “Greater Ukraine.” In the meantime, “Our task is the struggle to create a powerful Social-Nationalist movement that will encompass the entire Nation and gain power in the State.”

Biletsky has never disavowed his 2007 manifesto on “Ukrainian Racial Social-Nationalism.” He is now one of the most popular generals in Ukraine, and presides over what is probably the most powerful neo-Nazi movement in history. Technically, the “Azov Battalion” he founded no longer exists, but it is still banned from receiving U.S. support according to Congress. Yesterday I reported that Biletsky’s “international secretary” Olena Semenyaka just attended an event at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv to celebrate the 251st birthday of the Marine Corps. Now it appears that “White Leader” was also on the guest list.

Twitter/X user “Bishop,” a self-described “Donbas Veteran” and “personal friend” of Semenyaka from the U.S. who calls himself “The Lockheed Liberal,” made the image public yesterday. “Absolutely incredible to see a timeline vindicate them [Biletsky and Semenyaka],” he said. When a French neo-Nazi questioned the picture’s authenticity, commenting it “looks like AI,” Bishop said that it came from Semenyaka’s (private) Instagram account. At first I could not believe it either, but why should I be surprised? Luís Graça, the Portuguese author of an “unapologetically Europeanist and ethnocentric” book about Ukraine “aimed at a right-wing, conservative and nationalist audience,” confirmed that the image “is on Olenas social midia [sic].” I could only confirm that Graça and Semenyaka follow each other on Instagram. Another user “Sokyrnyk” claimed that “Semenyaka posted this on her Facebook profile,” in which case it must only be visible to her friends.

It’s unclear what the two young women pictured with Semenyaka and Biletsky were doing there. According to Anastasiia Polishchuk, wearing the grey dress, she used to work in Ukrainian parliament as an “assistant/advisor.” Perhaps she worked alongside Semenyaka, who is apparently still an assistant to MP Sviatoslav Yurash. They seem to be friends, because Semenyaka posted a picture of herself and Polishchuk holding bouquets of flowers in March 2026. As for the woman in the black dress (and wearing a cape?), she and Polishchuk appear to have traveled to Oklahoma and Texas about a month ago, possibly in connection with the U.S.-based “Sonata Holding LLC” or “Ukrainian Freedom Fund” led by Marine Corps veterans that provided “leadership” training to Semenyaka and others from Biletsky’s 3rd Army Corps this year.
This is not a proper article, just an update to yesterday’s post, so that’s all for now, but stay tuned for much more coming soon as I get my Substacks back up and running. I’ve been working on an exciting project over the past several months that I’m eager to tell you about, hopefully when I have permission to share the book cover…
