Right Sector’s Borislav Bereza Visits San Francisco
The event was small, not more than 20 people in attendance, but it is nonetheless troubling that such a relatively high-ranking member of Right Sector could feel comfortable showing his face in this city. The event itself was entirely in Russian with no translation available, so very little information was gleaned from it, however we find some consolation in their self-marginalization via language barriers.
This emergence of Right Sector in the United States is unfortunately not the first. So far this summer, Right Sector has hosted meet ups in multiple cities on the east coast (local antifas can email us for more info, if we haven't contacted you already) and even held a demonstration in New York City.
Due to the short notice we had of the event being held, we were not prepared to fully disrupt it, however it was infiltrated and a comrade managed to briefly interrupted them before leaving.
Next time, they will think twice before organizing publicly or at all.
I suppose it was possible he spoke in Russian to a Russian speaking audience. But are you sure it wasn't Ukrainian to a Ukrainian speaking audience? They are very similar languages and I used to be able to get by in a Ukrainian speaking barbershop with my Russian (like "nye takshe karotke" or "not too short", etc.) However the point I am making is that unless your person inside was told "in Russian" or had enough language skills to distinguish between them, I wouldn't assume it was Russian. I couldn't tell them apart by "the sound of it".
