Oleh, retired military officer and volunteer coordinator of a citizen run civil defense unit guarding soldiers in Lviv / 22 February 2014, Lviv. Oleh stated: “The activists in Lviv are not extremists. We are not fascists, not people out to physically destroy our opponents. We’re also not serfs, not slaves and not Soviets. We are patriots, citizens. You can call us nationalists––and our nation includes Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Armenians, Belarussians and all the people working for a new Ukraine, with the rule of law, and without corruption and lies! Our movement is peaceful.”
