{{quotebox=float|For nearly a year and a half, [[the West]]’s [[mainstream media]], especially ''[[The New York Times]]'' and ''[[The Washington Post]]'', twisted their reporting into all kinds of contortions to avoid telling their readers that the new [[Maidan regime|regime in Kiev]] was permeated by and dependent on [[neo-Nazi]] fighters and Ukrainian ultra-nationalists who wanted a pure-blood [[Ukraine]], without ethnic [[Russia]]ns.

Any mention of that sordid reality was deemed “Russian propaganda” and anyone who spoke this inconvenient truth was a “stooge of Moscow.” It wasn’t until July 7 [2015] that the ''Times'' admitted the importance of the neo-Nazis and other ultra-nationalists in waging war against ethnic Russian rebels in the east. The ''Times'' also reported that these far-right forces had been joined by Islamic militants. Some of those [[jihad]]ists have been called “brothers” of the hyper-brutal [[Islamic State]].

Though the [[Times]] sought to spin this remarkable military alliance neo-Nazi militias and [[Islamist|Islamic jihadists]] as a positive, the reality had to be jarring for readers who had bought into the [[Western alliance|Western]] [[propaganda]] about noble “pro-[[democracy]]” forces resisting evil “Russian aggression.”<ref>[https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/13/the-mess-that-nuland-made/ The Mess that Nuland Made], Robert Parry, ''Consortium News'', July 13, 2015.</ref>}}
