Russia funds conference for US, EU and Ukraine separatists while clamping down on its own dissidents
The Russian government has helped fund a conference in Moscow to bring together separatists from the United States and eastern Ukraine, despite cracking down on its own dissidents.
Opposition to the US and European Union was the factor unifying the assortment of guests at the “Dialogue of nations: the right to self-determination and the construction of a multipolar world” conference at the President hotel in downtown Moscow on Sunday.
Among international participants were representatives of Sinn Féin, the Catalan Solidarity for Independence party and Italy’s European Communitarian party Millennium, as well as separatist groups from Hawaii and Puerto Rico and the US-based radical black power Uhuru Movement.
Several representatives also spoke on behalf of the Russia-backed Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics in eastern Ukraine, where the conflict between the pro-Russian rebels and the Kiev government has killed more than 6,500 people since April 2014.

Fake leftists and fake freedom movements that have no problem taking $ and support from the fascist state of Putin's Russia. Forward to the past, when in the 1970s the "liberation movement" terrorists of the Red Army Faction and Bader Meinhof saw no contradiction in getting arms, money and training from the USSR and Libya's Gaddafi.
