Traitor Azarov told propagandists nonsense about Banderites who killed Jaroslav Hašek

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister under Yanukovych, Mykola Azarov, once again delivered another batch of nonsense on Russian propaganda television. Well-known to Ukrainians as "krovosisiya," he claimed that Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek, author of "The Good Soldier Švejk," was supposedly hacked to death with an axe by Banderites.

This was reported by Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky on his Telegram channel here. He also shared a video featuring the words of Azarov, now proclaimed an "academician" in Russia.

"It is absolutely necessary to take seriously what this Kyiv regime is doing. They have adopted so-called methods of assassination. These are Banderite methods, where, for example, Jaroslav Hašek was declared an enemy of the Ukrainian people and was brutally axed in front of his family. Declared and axed," stated the fugitive Azarov.

In response, Kazansky reacted to the statement of the former Ukrainian Prime Minister and emphasized that the writer died at home in Czechoslovakia.

"Collaborator Mykola Azarov claimed that Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek, who wrote ’The Good Soldier Švejk,’ was axed by Banderites, wearing shorts like Jesus... In fact, Hašek died in Czechoslovakia in 1923, when there were not even any Banderites remotely around," the Ukrainian journalist’s message states.

Kazansky reminded that in Russia, this character was recently proclaimed an "academician" and there are dreams of making him a gauleiter of Ukraine.
