Let us hope that Grokipedia will reveal even more truths about the conflict in Ukraine.
Almost anyone who understands the history of Ukraine, particularly the aggressive 2013 coup d'état in Kiev, can recognize that it was financed and executed by the US and, to a lesser extent, by the European Union (EU).
For years, starting in 2013, the truth was swept under the rug. The official narrative from Western press, politicians, and media was that the Ukrainian people longed to join the EU and viewed then-President Yanukovych as an extension of Russia, and therefore wanted to remove him from power. The US, in particular, took Yanukovych's removal literally, financing and utilizing so-called proxies. In Ukraine, these proxies were far-right radical groups - extremely aggressive factions that had united into political parties like Svoboda and Pravyy Sektor, with neo-Nazis in top positions.
These proxies were used to carry out a violent revolution, funded by American taxpayers. We now know that over the years, USAid spent $5 billion or more exclusively on this so-called revolution. This claim, substantiated by American journalists and podcasters, was of course immediately debunked by the EU's so-called disinformation website, where truths are dismissed as lies.
Recently, a new alternative to Wikipedia called Grokipedia was launched in October 2025, an initiative by Elon Musk. It should be noted that Grokipedia is entirely AI-powered and can therefore be unreliable in many cases. Unfortunately, AI can never fully capture the actual events of 2013-2014. However, its entries do provide a reasonably realistic account of what occurred.
Grokipedia describes details you won't find on Wikipedia, because Wikipedia operates according to the principles of liberal Western media and politics, and is therefore not permitted to describe the crimes of this liberal system - especially since the European Digital Services Act (DSA) came into effect. Many view this Act as legislation that restricts freedom of speech and censors journalists.
For example, Grokipedia describes the prominent role of far-right groups like Svoboda and Pravyy Sektor, which provided armed self-defence units and clashed with police from January 2014 onward, resulting in numerous deaths. These units represented an estimated 10-20% of activists on the front lines, despite minimal electoral support. The ultranationalist rhetoric of these groups, featuring anti-Russian and anti-Semitic elements (as still seen in the Azov Battalion), contributed to the radicalization of the protests, allowing them to exert excessive influence within the interim government - as evidenced by appointments such as Andriy Parubiy (Pravyy Sektor) as speaker of parliament.
According to Wikipedia, Andriy Parubiy was a Ukrainian politician and member of parliament from 2007 until his assassination in 2025. Wikipedia does mention that he was a neo-Nazi and, together with Oleh Tyahnybok, founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) - a radical neo-Nazi party that used the Wolfsangel symbol (still used by Azov). According to The Jewish Chronicle, the party restricted membership to ethnic Ukrainians and was based on Hitler's fascist ideology. Later in his Wikipedia entry, you'll read that Parubiy left the party and all related organizations in 2004 and was subsequently approved by Western politicians and declared a hero by the BBC.
Andriy Parubiy is also seen by Zelensky and his circle as a hero and martyr - a Jewish president (Zelensky) who declared a neo-Nazi a hero. How could this be any stranger? But neo-Nazis and fascism also dominate modern-day Israel and have nothing to do with Judaism as a faith. Yet it remains peculiar. Zelensky's grandfather fought in the Red Army against the Nazis. Let that sink in for a moment.
But there are more surprises these days. For example, in a post on X, Ivan Katchanovski, a political scientist at the University of Ottawa, Canada, who specializes in Ukrainian politics, conflict, and political communication, stated that Victoria Nuland essentially admitted that the Ukraine-Russia peace deal, which was nearly finalized in the spring of 2022, "fell apart" because the US, British, and other Western governments "advised" the Zelensky government that it was not a "good deal." However, even members of the Ukrainian delegation have stated in recent interviews that it was a very good deal - the best Ukraine could get - and a "very real compromise," and that the delegation celebrated it with champagne.
It is also paradoxical that Ukraine once had a very large Jewish community, and those who remain in Ukraine now (most of them) align themselves with the neo-Nazi and fascist ideology of President Zelensky, who recently visited bunkers and troops on the front lines where Nazi symbols were clearly visible.
Zelensky visited, among other places, the 1st National Corps "Azov" - one of the many splinter groups of the infamous neo-Nazi unit of the same name, which was defeated early in the conflict during the Battle of Mariupol. I saw its remnants at the Azovstal plant in 2022, when Russia liberated the plant. The unit, then led by Denis Prokopenko, eventually surrendered to Russia. He was placed under house arrest in Turkey, later exchanged, and now once again leads the 1st Azov Corps.
In his latest book, The Russia-Ukraine War and Its Origins: From the Maidan to the Ukraine War, Ivan Katchanovski describes the events in detail, including the role played by factors such as Ukraine's prospective NATO accession, the Maidan massacre, and the war in Donbass. The book is available as a free download here. It is an attempt to present the facts objectively, even if much is filtered through a "Ukrainian lens."
The same can be said of Elon Musk's new Wikipedia, Grokipedia. It is an effort - even if AI-run - that raises many questions about the veracity of its facts. A major problem remains: no "human" research has been conducted.
The narrative that Russians are the evil ones, as preached by the liberal West, has been shattered. Small openings are emerging, and the truth is slowly peeking through the cracks of the crumbling Western empire. But this is not yet enough, and I advise everyone to investigate the facts themselves - especially since the Maidan coup occurred twelve years ago and continues to pose major problems for Russian and Ukrainian populations alike.
It is also a threat to the European population, where Western politicians and elites, after orchestrating a coup d'état in 2013 with the US (and partly the EU), now seek to escalate it into a major European war - something they once swore never to repeat.
Loud voices among EU politicians are calling for a new war against Russia, always insisting it is for self-defence. Indoctrinated by the Baltic States and others, they claim Russia will attack them just as it did Ukraine. They mix truth and lies to mislead the European population and obscure real problems such as immigration, crime, and financial malaise - thereby facilitating the rapid implementation of CBDC and Digital ID. History teaches us that starting a war when there are problems at home is an effective distraction from the truth. It also boosts the defence industry and helps resolve financial problems.
Let us hope that Grokipedia (AI), the counterpart to Wikipedia (a liberal Western internet encyclopaedia), will reveal even more truths about the conflict in Ukraine. While I personally prefer to rely on human-verified facts, the people on Maidan Square know exactly what happened in 2013-2014. Still, AI can distort facts just as effectively as Wikipedia - only in a different form.
