Beyond the Red Line – UKRAINE Facism & Anti-facism

A documentary chronicle of the war in Ukraine, and the suffering of people whose lives it has touched. Forty powerful photos of peaceful civilians and forced refugees. A national photo project tour, including a slideshow presentation, sponsored by the International Action Center and the United National Anti-war Coalition.

Photos prepared by multimedia international information agency Rossiya Segodnya photojournalists in Russia and Ukraine.From the exhibit opening press release in NYC: “As Washington and NATO continue to engage in provocative Cold War rhetoric falsely blaming Russia for the civil war in Ukraine, this exhibit provides a timely antidote to the myths spread by major U.S. media,” said International Action Center activist Greg Butterfield.’

“U.S. officials have portrayed the coup regime that came to power in Kiev, Ukraine, early this year as a beacon of democracy. These photos document a very different reality,” asserted Butterfield.’

“War crimes are being committed daily by the Kiev government against its own citizens, with funding and political support from Washington,” Butterfield charged. “People in the Donbass region and throughout Ukraine are resisting a far-right regime dedicated to austerity and NATO expansion to Russia’s border, which includes openly pro-Nazi elements.”

“Before we are dragged into a dangerous confrontation with Russia, poor and working people in the U.S. need to understand what our taxes are really paying for in Ukraine,” concluded Sara Flounders.
