 In addition to the supremacy of the white race, Biletsky claims to defend [[the West]], to want the destruction of [[democracy]] in [[Europe]], the destruction of [[capitalism]] and of the “Zionist international”, which would be replaced by “Nazocracy”, which are his own words. As a historian, Biletsky, in addition to the [[conspiracy theory]] that was very much a part of his [[rhetoric]], was also committed to revisionism, rewriting the history of the Ukrainian people, whose roots, according to him, lay in the Scythian civilization, which he linked to the Cossacks, in an attempt to erase the real origin of [[Kievan Rus']]. Going much further than the Nazis, he went so far as to declare that the latter had not taken into account the need to [[racial]]ly cleanse the [[population]], including the [[Aryan]] population, in order to eradicate degenerate subjects, such as [[alcoholism]], [[drug addiction]] and others. His idea was to take into account “the [[biological]] character of each family”. Going much further than [[American]] [[eugenics]], he proposed the total and literal cleansing of the [[race]], stating that the Ukrainian national [[culture]] was derived from the people, not from their [[history]], [[religion]], heritage, or [[language]]. He even declared that “the historical mission of the Ukrainian nation at this critical moment is to lead the white peoples of the world in the last crusade for its existence, and to fight against the sub-humanity led by the [[Semite]]s”.<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/05/10/andrei-biletsky-the-neo-nazi-father-of-azov/</ref>  In 2006 Biletsky wrote in an essay, ''What is Ukraine?'':
