Executive Produced by Oliver Stone, this documentary takes a deep dive into how the peaceful Kiev protests in February 2014 suddenly became extremely violent and deadly, to become known as the “2014 Ukrainian Revolution.” This is the story that Westerners never saw on the Mainstream Media. Finally, English-speakers can now view this film. Originally released in 2016, Academy-Award-winner Stone was unable to find a Western distributor.

The post-Soviet 1990s saw the rise of corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs who absconded with state assets, leading to “Color Revolutions” in 2004 and 2014, culminating in the US-backed installation of Ukraine’s current regime.

Oliver Stone’s interviews, first with former President Viktor Yanukovych then Vladimir Putin and others start at the 25:30 mark.

Looking at the past 14 years, I see how my beliefs, for example about former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko were completely manipulated by the US State Department – the former employer of his Chicago-born wife!

Some may recall that Yushchenko survived an assassination attempt from dioxin poisoning in 2004 and he thus gained my sympathy – until I learned here that he’d elevated WWII Ukrainian Nazi leader, Stepan Bandera to the status of National Hero in 2010, a move which was internationally condemned and overturned by a Donetsk court a year later.

‘Ukraine on Fire’ is the kind of rare gem that’s becoming harder to find…

  • These color revolutions always seem so simple. Good guys vs. bad guys, and there’s always some betrayal, just the elements for a good movie to attract a movie-maker like Stone. In my view this is the main shortcoming here, not that Stone is lying or even omitting details (which he is) but that neither the hardcore nationalists currently on top nor the corrupt, Russia-lovers who were unethically gotten rid of, are good guys. The US had and has no business meddling and trying to control the situation in any other country, and as Americans, that’s what we have to focus on trying to stop.

  • Very informative History on Ukraine, most Americans have NO idea about these incidents! Unless one searches out information on these issues; the only information they get is from the establishment news media and whatever they want someone to hear.

  • Excellent Stone film for which I am grateful, but it isn’t telling everything like Bolshevik religious cleansing begun in 1917 in Russia in which far more Russian Orthodox Christians were exterminated than Jews in WWII, but you never hear about it. Germans were not oblivious to this as they too had already gotten a nasty taste of Marx in Bavaria following WWI. Americans are especially ignorant of just about any history including the history of Europe. That’s why there is so much unrest in America today. Ignorant people are easily influenced by seditionists.

    I could comment further, but simply wish to encourage people to educate themselves because government schools are not going to do it. It will take a long time, but freedom depends on an educated and informed electorate. If one loves freedom they will do it, if not, oh well.

    • Germans got a “nasty taste of Marx” back in mid 1840s when Marx’s book “The Communist Manifesto” came out. Some Germans were expelled from Germany for joining the Marxist movement and they came here to America trying to turn us into Marxists. Abe Lincoln was guilty of using them to get elected and create further turmoil between south and north. Read “Lincoln’s Marxists” for the whole story on that, very well-researched book.

      • Oh, wow! Never heard this story!

        I guess it’s apt, then that Illinois’ state motto is “Land of Lincoln”.

  • This film on Ukraine is extremely inaccurate. In fact, you could qualify it as a lie, it’s that inaccurate. My family lived through that history there, and the people of Ukraine welcomed the German troops, when they arrived there, because they knew the Germans were trying to save them from Stalin’s severe oppression.
    The Holodomor was just a small part of Stalin’s ethnic cleansing process. Ask the German Russian organizations or more information on this history. The AHSGR in Lincoln, Nebraska, the GRHS in Bismark, North Dakota, and the GRHC at NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. The university in Aberdeen, South South Dakota also has a German Russian heritage center, but I can’t remember whether it’s USD, or SDU. One of them is in Vermilion, South Dakota, and that’s why I get them confused

    Another problem with this film is the left out facts about the many non-aggression pacts Stalin made with surrounding countries, and then turned around and invaded those countries. Hitler saw this pattern, so when Stalin wanted a non-aggression pact with Germany, Hitler accepted it; he was planning to get the Germans out of there anyway. Soon afterward, Stalin had troops all along the boarder, and Hitler was prepared, so the Germany military invaded in 1941, and in 1943-44 made a daring attempt to get the remaining German peoples out of there.

    I say “remaining”, because all the Germans in the Volga region had already been deported to Siberia on 9/11/1941 (does any part of this date sound familiar?), and had already deported many from the Black Sea region, as well.

    Stalin never expected Hitler to figure out what he was doing, and had a nervous breakdown over it. Harriman, from the U.S., had to go over there, and run things, until Stalin could take over again. Bush. Sr. ‘s father was working for Harriman at the time, and had their hands deep into the Nazis.

    Hitler’s invasion of Poland was for the sole purpose of rescuing 100s of thousands of Germans, who were being massacred there. You need to understand the Treaty of Versailles and the Allied carving up of Europe, to understand what was going on there, and you need to know the history of the Rothschilds to understand it in depth.

    Hitler had no interest in taking over the world, but the Nazis, under the Rothschilds did. The Rothschilds were behind the formation of the Bolsheviks/Communists, but lost control of them when, Stalin took power. They were also behind the Nazis, but lost control of them, too, when Hitler got into power, though a number of his top aides did the bidding of the Rothschilds, anyway, namely Himmler and Heydrich. Look at the history of the Zionists and the Balfour Declaration. This will explain what was really going on, along with the history of the Rothschilds. http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=4377

    Hitler’s goal was a pan-German empire, which was a popular sentiment in Europe from the 1800s. The tzars wanted to build a pan-Slavic empire, the Serbs wanted a pan-Serbian empire, etc.

    The population of Ukraine is made up of many ethnicities, all of whom were targeted by Lenin, Stalin, and the other soviet leaders. The Ukrainians have never forgotten the extreme suffering they went through under the earlier Soviet Regime, and neither have the Germans, the Tartars, the Cossacks, the Swedes, etc., etc.

    For more reading on the truth about this history, read M.S. King, and David Irving, and the testimonies of Zundel, and others like him, and tomatobubble.com.

    Don’t believe everything you hear, nor anything you were taught, because there is almost no truth in it, but if you know the truth about this history, you’ll understand everything going on in the world today perfectly.

    • I’m guessing that you take issue with the way Stepan Bandera is presented. I think Oliver Stone may have assumed that if Bandera was a Nazi, he was rabidly anti-Semitic and was therefore evil in the value system of America. However, Ukrainian Nazism is peculiar in that it isn’t obsessed with Jews, it’s obsessed with Russians and Poles, such that the current nationalist Ukrainian president is a Jew.

  • Is there any country on the globe, which did not experience any kind of war?
    All old cultures disappeared by any war.
    As long human being react by their personalities this will go on.
    When their should appear peace and love on earth, at first there is a need for finding what am I as a human being.

    • Actually, if we get rid of the Rothschilds and their cabal, which includes the government of Israel, then we’ll have peace, but not until then. “If my sons did not want war, there would be no war.” Mrs. Mayer Amschel Rothschild (Gutie, I think was her name).

      I posted a comment on the TRUE history of Europe in the first half of the 1900s. Feel free to check it out.
