Andriy Yevheniyovych Biletsky (Ukrainian: Андрі́й Євге́нійович Біле́цький, romanized: Andríj Jevhénijovyč Biléćký, IPA: [ɐnˈd⁽ʲ⁾r⁽ʲ⁾ij jeu̯ˈɦɛn⁽ʲ⁾ijoʋɪt͡ʃ b⁽ʲ⁾iˈɫɛt͡sʲkɪj]; born 5 August 1979[7]) is a Ukrainian far-right politician with white supremacist views[8][9]. He is the leader of political party National Corps. He was the first commander of the volunteer militia Azov Battalion,[4][1] and a co-founder of the nationalist movement Social-National Assembly.[10][11][12][13][14][15] From 2014 until 2019 Biletsky was a Member of Ukrainian Parliament.

Biography

Andriy Biletsky was born in 1979 in Kharkiv, Soviet Union. Biletsky's father Yevheniy Mykhailovych Biletsky hailed from an old Cossack family that founded the village of Krasnopavlivka (Lozova Raion), while Biletsky's mother Olena Anatoliyivna Biletsky (née Lukashevych) descended from a noble family from Zhytomyr region, to which belong the Decembrist Vasiliy Lukashevich (Vasyl Lukashevych) who founded the "Little-Russian Secret Society".[7]

In his youth, Biletsky practiced several types of martial arts and boxing. Unlike many Ukrainians, he declined to join the Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organization. Biletsky, along with senior schoolmates, raised the Ukrainian flag over his school.[16] His major patriotic influence in his youth was his father's gift of a book prohibited in the Soviet Union, History of Ukraine for Children by Anton Lototsky.[16] In 2001, Biletsky graduated with honors from the History faculty of the University of Kharkiv. His thesis was about the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.[3] The same year Biletsky participated in the Ukraine without Kuchma (UBK) protests, for which he was placed under administrative arrest. The Security Service of Ukraine pressured the university administration to expel Biletsky from the institution.

Political activism 2002-13

In 2002 Biletsky became a leader of the Kharkiv branch of the political organization Tryzub, and in 2003 cooperated with the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) opposing the idea of its transformation into Svoboda.[3]

After the transformation of SNPU into Svoboda and liquidation of the original Patriot of Ukraine, in 2005 Biletsky initiated a revival of the Patriot of Ukraine,[3] independent from any political factions. The new Patriot of Ukraine initially consisted of the Kharkiv branches of UNA-UNSO, Tryzub, and former SNPU. Since 2005, Biletsky also cooperated with the newly established Ukrainian Conservative Party.[citation needed]

In the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Biletsky unsuccessfully ran for Ukrainian parliament.[16]

After 2014

Biletsky interviewed by Ukrainian TV after a mission near Mariupol.

During the Euromaidan events, members of the Biletsky's Patriot of Ukraine were among the founders of Right Sector on 28 November 2013. On 24 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament adopted a decision on the freedom of political prisoners. The next day, Biletsky and other prisoners were completely acquitted of all charges and freed from custody.[citation needed]

On 12 March 2014, Biletsky became a party leader in special operations for the "Right Sector - East," which included such regions as Poltava, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts. On 5 May 2014, in Berdyansk Biletsky became a founder of the Azov Battalion (as a territorial battalion of patrol service), and its first commander. The battalion was initially composed of members of the Patriot of Ukraine, SNA, football fans (notably Dynamo Kyiv supporters) and the AutoMaidan movement. The paramilitary unit became known as the Little black men as an opposition to the Russian special operations "Little green men".[16] It would be transformed from a militia into a regular regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine on 20 November 2014.

On 13 June 2014, Biletsky led his detachment to the successful liberation of Mariupol (First Battle of Mariupol) from Russian separatists. According to British military reporter Askold Krushelnycky, "Biletsky was cool in the evaluation of actions and giving orders calmly and, in my opinion, logically".[16] On 2 August 2014, Biletsky, holding a rank of Major of Militsiya,[citation needed] was awarded the Order For Courage (III degree)[17][non-primary source needed] and promoted to lieutenant colonel of police[5][6] on 15 August 2014.

On 10 September 2014, Biletsky was admitted to the military council of the People's Front, yet did not become a member of the party. On 27 September 2014, he ran as an independent candidate in the 217th electoral district (Kyiv) for the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election and won by receiving 31,445 votes (33.75%). In parliament, he joined the inter-factional group UKROP.[18] In October 2014, Ihor Mykhailenko replaced Biletsky as commander of Azov Battalion.[citation needed]

In an interview to LB.ua (Left Bank) given on 10 December 2014, Biletsky announced that the Patriot of Ukraine suspended its activities as a political organization due to the war, and would be absorbed primarily into the Azov Battalion.[19] In the same interview Biletsky said that the logo of the battalion is different from the German Wolfsangel and symbolizes Ukrainian national idea.[19]

In October 2016 Biletsky officially left the Ukrainian National Guard because Ukrainian elected officials were barred from military service.[4] But he vowed to continue his military career "without titles".[4]

Biletsky during his first three years of work in Verkhovna Rada participated only in 2.09% of votings.[20] He took part in only 229 votings, taking the fifth place in the rating of deputies with the fewest votings.[21][22] Biletsky missed 328 sittings of the Ukrainian parliament.[23][24] In addition, he missed all sittings of the Verkhovna Rada in 2016 and didn't appear in parliament as of March 2017.[25][26][27] According to a research of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine, published in August 2017, Biletsky did not write any laws that were adopted in the Verkhovna Rada. With 30 projects, he is in the first place among the deputies who submitted the largest number of unsuccessful draft laws.[28][29][30]

In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election was placed 2nd on the joined list of Svoboda with the far-right National Corps, the Governmental Initiative of Yarosh and Right Sector.[31] However, in the election the party did not win enough votes to clear the 5% election threshold and thus did not gain any parliamentary seats.[32]

Political views

The BBC, Metro, The Independent and The Moscow Times have described Biletsky as a white supremacist.[8][9][33][34] In 2014, political science lecturer Ivan Katchanovski commented to Radio Sweden that: "The SNA/PU [Patriot of Ukraine] advocates a neo-Nazi ideology along with ultranationalism and racism."[35][better source needed]

Biletsky is reported to have said in 2010 that the Ukrainian nation's mission is to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen".[36][37] In 2020, The Guardian reported that Biletsky "has toned down his rhetoric in recent years" .[36] Biletsky repeatedly denied ever making such remarks.[38][39]

In 2013 Andriy Biletsky was the author of a brochure called "The Word of the White Leader"[40] which contains racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric.[41]

Earnings

According to the electronic declaration, in 2015, Biletsky received ₴ 58,990 (US$2,087) as salary in the Verkhovna Rada. He had ₴ 250,000 (US$8,846) in cash.[2][42] The declaration also indicated an apartment in Kyiv (see below), which was recorded on Biletsky's spouse Yuliya.[2][43][44] In the declaration for 2016, Biletsky indicated 115,652 hryvnia (US$4,423) as deputy salary, and ₴ 250,000 in cash.[45]

Personal life

From 2003 to 2016, Andriy Biletsky was married to Yuliya Oleksandrivna Biletskaya (née Brusenko). The couple's son, Oleksandr, was born in 2007. In April 2016, the spouses divorced after the scandal, when the data about an apartment in Kyiv with an area of 79.5 sq. meters and costing from ₴ 2.2 to 4.1 million was not included in the deputy's declaration.[46][47]

  41. ^ Colborne, Michael (12 January 2022). From the Fires of War: Ukraine's Azov Movement and the Global Far Right. ISBN 9783838215082. Biletsky has a history of involvement in explicitly anti-Semitic organizations and using openly anti-Semitic, racist rhetoric, writing about the need to "cleanse" Ukraine of foreigners in a 2013 pamphlet of his writings called Word of the White Leader. The hagiographic preface of this work, written by comrades of Biletsky, references a "long-dead German" - an obvious reference to Adolf Hitler - who outlined the qualities of a successful leader, qualities Biletsky apparently also possessed.
