Burzum and Ukraine:
"If war breaks out, I will go to fight for Russia"
Varg Vikernes on the war in Ukraine (14.12.2016)
Zhora Dementiev
Recently, information appeared on the Internet that the founder of the popular music project Burzum and a supporter of paganism, Varg Vikernes, supports Russia in the Ukrainian issue. However, there has been no comprehensive information on this topic. Therefore, I studied the musician's activities in detail in this context and talked to him personally.
I will start in order. A group of foreign volunteers who position themselves as "NS-pagans" and call themselves "Team Vikernes" is fighting for Russia in the Donetsk region.
This community is led by two dark-skinned characters: Leonormand Guillaume and Rafael Lusvarghi.
The first of them, Leo, is a co-leader of the French-Serbian organization "Unité Continentale" (Continental Unity), which professes the ideology of Dugin's Eurasianism. The second is Rafael from Brazil. Recently detained by the SSU (Security Service of Ukraine).
Their "team" was part of Alexey Mozgovoy's "Ghost" division (as well as Milchakov's "DShRG (Sabotage Assault Reconnaissance Group) Rusich"). At the end of 2015, they left the Donbass and went to fight in Syria on the side of the Islamist Kurds. They, by the way, are fighting against Bashar al-Assad, in support of whom Guillaume himself previously organized actions in France.
Despite the declaration of far-right views, their pages on the internet are full of photos and videos with Soviet flags, Lenins, well-known anti-fascists Girkin and Gubarev.
What does the team have to do with the musician and the "ideologue" whose name it uses? The reader may assume that he is not aware at all that someone bears his name.
Varg himself comments on another YouTube video of Rafael about the murder of "ukrop" in the Donbass: "Glory to you, Rafael! I salute you!" However, I did not find any further manifestation of Varg's position on the Ukrainian issue. So, I decided to ask him personally. Surprisingly, none of his Ukrainian supporters has done this before. At first, I did not think to put our correspondence on public display, so the text below is more consistent with the format of the conversation, rather than an interview:

...I saw that you support Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Is it true? Because many European nationalists have become slaves to lies and lack of information.
I do not support anyone, but I have a very negative opinion about the Je**sh regime in Ukraine. This shitty Je**sh government is exiled from the United States. No one should fight for its existence.
Tell us what the "Team Vikernes" is, what do you think of them? Russia also has a "Je**sh government". That is why many Russian NS are now fighting on the side of Ukraine against Putin and Russia.
Yes, Russia is also bad, but in its own way. Russia is still better than the United States. Of the two evils, you choose the lesser. "Team Vikernes" was a group of Brazilian mercenaries who fought on the Russian side. They are not related to me, but I know about them.
Norway also has a "Je**sh government". If some country attacked it and destroyed the Norwegians, you probably would not be happy.
I will never do anything to help this Government stay in power.
You say that because the Russians do not kill your friends. You wrote that Breivik is bad because he killed ordinary people, not the authorities. The Russian army is like Breivik: it kills ordinary people, not the government.
The problem is that Ukrainians are also killing Russian civilians, so... And there is all the evidence that the Ukrainians started it. The Ukrainian NS movement is not a normal NS movement, it is mainly an anti-Russian movement. Most of the propaganda that Russia is bad, it even blames Russia for the Holodomor, while all intelligent people know that the Russians did not create the Soviet Union. The J**s did it. So what should I blame Russia for? Russians suffered no less from the Soviet system than other Slavic people. Millions of Russians were killed - mostly because of forced labor. The Ukrainian army and police will be right only if they start fighting against the regime in Kiev. But instead, they mostly kill Russian civilians. Breivik killed the children of current politicians, by the way. Not ordinary people.
"Russian civilians" are civilians from Russia. But the Ukrainian army has never been in Russia. We are fighting only on the territory of Ukraine, so we cannot "kill Russian civilians" a priori. You read news on the Internet only from one side and think that you know more about the war in Ukraine than Ukrainians. I do not see the point in convincing you. Thank you for your reply.
There are Russians who live in Ukraine. You know that. In the Donetsk region. The whole point of this conflict is that Ukrainians want to force them to abandon their own language and so on. And they resist and strive for independence. I read the news from both sides, and it looks like both sides are telling a lot of lies, but the Ukrainian side is lying more and it also serves the interests of the United States. I also communicate with people who are directly involved in the conflict. I know more than you think.
What is your opinion about the "Azov" battalion? Most of its fighters call themselves Nazis and pagans. Many Russian and European NS (from Sweden, Finland, France, Croatia, Belarus, etc.) are fighting in the "Azov". The well-known Russian NSBM Group Molokh supports Ukraine and "Azov", they moved to our country. Do you think they are all "Je**sh slaves" and Russophobes?
No, I have a good opinion of them. But they're fighting on the wrong side. They are fighting to support the Je**sh CIA, which is interested in this government in Kiev. Many European nationalists are also fighting on the Russian side. Because the regime in Ukraine is Je**sh to the core.
By the way, looking for information about his position on the official website (burzum.org), I came across some interesting statements. Here about "paganism":
Question: What books have inspired you most of all en route to your Ásatrú beliefs?
My Ásatrú beliefs? I can assure you that I don't believe in any spirits or deities whatsoever. I see all such beliefs as plain ignorance, or in fact as evidence of lacking intelligence. I know too much about religion to be religious, so to speak, and I am not that stupid either. (See the article "Religion or Reason" on this website.) To practice Paganism like our forefathers did, but it is utterly reactionary and meaningless. Dogmas are based on ignorance and misconceptions. Only the stupid will continue to believe in "God" (any god!) or the parthenogenesis when we know that these ideas are based on the ignorance and misconceptions of the Stone Age man. Back then they didn't know any better, but we do know. Whether we believe in several or just one god makes no difference, it is the same folly.

Question: Any plans to visit Russia some day?
If the Tel Aviv-controlled NATO criminals ever attack Russia I will go, as a volunteer for the Russian Army, but other than that I have no plans to go to Russia.
[Excerpt from an interview with Varg Vikernes (February 2010)]
And in his book "Речи Варга II" (pages 82, 87, 122, 218-219), he writes that people with blood types III and IV (25% of Ukrainians) are inferior. So he considers people with dark eyes and hair colors. What do we have in the end? The idol of many right-wingers turned out to be an idea-free vatniy atheist who does not want to fight for his nation, covering up his cowardice with "ZOG" and other nonsense. Who, moreover, abandoned the surname of his ancestors and recently took the surname of his wife (Cachet). How can such a person be taken seriously, and even more so considered a moral authority, idol and paragon?
