The Patriot of Ukraine ((ウクライナ語:Патріо́т Украї́ни)) was a Ukrainian nationalist organization, defunct from December 2014. It was described as having racist and neo-Nazi political beliefs.〔〔〔〔〔 It constituted a paramilitary wing of the Social-National Assembly of Ukraine (S.N.A.), an assemblage of neo-Nazi organizations and groups founded in 2008 that share the social-national ideology and agree upon building a social-national state in Ukraine.〔 Андрій Білецький (Andriy Biletsky).

Харків (Kharkiv): Патріот України (The Patriot of Ukraine), 2007, с.46-54.〕 Both the "Patriot of Ukraine" and the S.N.A. engaged in political violence against minorities and their political opponents.〔〔 The leader of the "Patriot of Ukraine" and of the Social-National Assembly is Andriy Biletsky. In interview to LB.ua (Left Bank) on 10 December 2014 Biletsky announced that the Patriot of Ukraine as political organization suspended its activities due to the war situation in the country and dissolved primarily within the Azov Battalion.〔Shvets, Ye. ''(Andriy Biletsky: Half of Azov speaks in Russian language. But they die and kill for Ukraine )''. LB.ua. 10 December 2014〕 == History == The origin of the "Patriot of Ukraine" can be traced to Lviv where the ''Association of Support for the Armed Forces and Navy of Ukraine "Patriot Ukrayiny"'' ((ウクライナ語:Товариство Сприяння Збройним силам та Військово-Морському флоту України "Патріот України")) was registered on 10 June 1996 as a civic association, registration number 375.〔〔〔Ivan Katchanovski (University of Ottawa). (An Interview with Reuters Concerning Svoboda, the OUN-B, and other Far Right Organizations in Ukraine ), ''Academia.edu'', 4 March 2014.〕 The first Congress of the "Patriot of Ukraine" was held in Lviv on 12 December 1999 where it was officially adopted by the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) as its paramilitary youth wing. In the evening, around 1500 members of the SNPU and the "Patriot of Ukraine" staged a torchlight demonstration in the city. The first leader of the organization became Andriy Parubiy, who established a long-lasting tradition of torchlight parades, which became an organizational trademark. At that time Parubiy gained national notoriety in Ukraine after he was put on trial for alleged assault on communist demonstrators in Lviv on 7 November 1997. The main TV channels in Ukraine broadcast footage of Parubiy clashing with the demonstrators. The trial was dragged, moved around, and finally the case was dismissed due to the statute of limitations. A photo of Parubiy leading the "Patriot of Ukraine" march was placed on the cover of his book published in Lviv in 1999.〔 Парубій А. (Погляд справа. Статті, виступи, інтерв’ю ). Львів: Орієнтири, 1999. — 44 с. Andriy Parubiy. The Right View: Publications, addresses, interviews. Lviv, 1997.〕 The "Patriot of Ukraine" was dissolved by the SNPU on 14 February 2004, when the IX Congress of the SNPU adopted a new name - VO Svoboda, and elected Oleh Tyahnybok as its leader. Aiming at building a parliamentary type of political organization with an image of the "party of order", Svoboda had shaken off some old baggage, including Wolfsangel-type logo, which was replaced with the national colors and a trident (trizub) hand gesture (three raised fingers), the so-called "Trident of Liberty".〔 Андрющенко Е. С. Парамілітарні структури українського націоналістичного руху 90-х рр. ХХ ст. (Paramilitary structures of the Ukrainian nationalistic movements in the 1990s) / Е. С. Андрющенко // Наукові праці історичного факультету Запорізького національного університету : збірник / голов. ред. Ф. Г. Турченко. – Запоріжжя, 2011. – Вип. XXХ. – С. 42–51.〕 The original "Patriot of Ukraine" organization was also discarded since Svoboda wanted to appeal to a broader base of the Ukrainian electorate.〔David Stern. (Svoboda: The rise of Ukraine's ultra-nationalists ), ''BBC News'', 25 December 2012.〕 Eventually, Svoboda while still remaining a radical nationalist party was able to benefit from its new strategy: first, it scored wins at the 2010 local elections in three regions of Western Ukraine, then, it won 10.5% of the national vote during the 2012 parliamentary elections in Ukraine and created its own parliamentary faction in the Verkhovna Rada. However, some regional branches of the Patriot of Ukraine, for example, in Zhytomyr (later renamed into Haidamaky) and also in Kharkiv, refused to disband. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patriot of Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
