Well, in the beginning of the nineties existed two bands яйнпаэ (SORROW) and ZDV66/1, which were playing hate-core. Then they disbanded due to various reasons,but the musicians of these bands gathered once again, when the bass-player served his time in prison, drummer D. returned from the military, they united with guitarist A. and the vocalist and for the purpose of propaganda of Right ideas formed a WP band. Traditionally it was named аскэднц (BULLDOG). We played a few shows, one of them in Moscow. During this time it turned out to be that the vocalist with the bass-player are using drugs, and for that reason it was decided to weed them out. SOKYRA PERUNA was always very radical towards any kind of drugs. April 26th is considered to be the official birth-date of the band, when at the Rudolf Hess Memorial show A. declared from the stage about the renaming of the band from аскэднц to SOKYRA PERUNA. Only two people made it through the history of SOKYRA PERUNA until the present time, the founders of the band: A. and D. The line-up suffered a lot of changes, right now it includes: A. - vocals, A.G. - guitar, A.P. - guitar, A.SH. - bass-guitar, G - drums.

2. How did you come up with the name SOKYRA PERUNA? What does it mean to you?

  The time came to cleanse the band from the people who heavily discredited themselves. In addition to this, we wanted to underline our attitude to the faith of our Ancestors, which really meant, and means, a lot to us. Actually, first was the song SOKYRA PERUNA, which can be heard on our debut album, and later the title of the song became the name of the band.

3. What is the source of inspiration for the music, lyrics, activity of SOKRA PERUNA?

  The source is our great history, it is the voice of our ancestors, that resounds in the heart of every of us; it is the voice of blood - blood of our Race. We with all clarity understand how huge is the menace of extinction of our Race as the biological species. We also plainly understand who profits from this. We don't want to condone with it, and declare that we won't stop, until we reclaim this iniquity. Sieg Heil!

4. Tell us about your faith. What is paganism to you?

  We give 100% support to the statement of Knjaz Svyatoslav - "Christian faith is deformity". The religion of our Ancestors is our Faith. Maybe that is why we live in shit today, because we betrayed our Faith a thousand years ago.

5. What do you think about modern skinhead organizations and formations worldwide? Whom does SOKYRA PERUNA support? Members of what organization are you yourself?

  BLOOD & HONOUR. These two words, that became the name of the organization, created by our spiritual leader Ian Stuart, we represent in the Ukraine. For Blood and Honour of our Race we fight. Also I have a tremendous respect for the Creativity Movement as to the structure with powerful ideology and potential.

6. What do you think about political crisis, that recently took place in the Ukraine? Whom did SOKYRA PERUNA support on the recent presidential elections?

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF UNITED WHITE FRONT OF UKRAINE

Ukrainian Presidential Elections through the eyes of White Patriots.

  Herewith we state that Ukrainian White Patriots don't support no one of so called "candidates" for the office of the head of Ukrainian State. There are three reasons for this:

1.   It is the elections of the head of Ukrainian chapter of Jewish Occupational Government (JOG), not the elections of the President of Ukrainian people;

2.  Guaranteed - no one of "candidates" will take care of the living of White Ukrainians, and we believe that the only truth is: "What is good for the White Race is the highest virtue, and what is bad for the White Race is the ultimate sin";

3.   Both of the candidates have many different features, but one they have in common like twin brothers - and Yanoukovich and Youshchenko are the puppets in the hands of zionist puppeteers. The only reason this pair was allowed to the elections - both of them have faithfully served to their jewish masters for years. To find out who is who between the candidates to the office of Ukrainian President we propose you this article.
We are sure - there must be only one choice in Ukraine - a Ukrainian one. Our State is monoethnic by all international standards - it is Ukrainian. We should stay at these positions under any circumstances and not to look for the mythical protection from JewSA or Russia. We should not let the jews to turn our homeland, which was granted to us by our glorious ancestors, into the battlefield for the war of different jewish clans. We are all-sufficient and we don't need any "teachers", "tutors" or "assistants".
Ukrainian choice - this is the election of Ukrainian power for all the offices of our State, this is the rebirth of our traditions and cultural ancestry, this is the perception of Our People like the highest value of Our State. We believe that the citizens of other nationalities, being the guests in our country, must stay true and loyal to Ukraine, showing respect toward it's people. The people that is living on this land for many thousand year. Therefore the "choice" they are proposing to us - is not a choice at all. The choice between the gangster and the traitor - is not the Ukrainian choice. And this we, the White Patriots of Ukraine, do state.
We can perfectly see, that today's government of our country - the alien and criminal power. The power of turnouts and cowards that for many times has proven it's hate and disdain to Our People. We also can see that if Ukrainian people in the nearest possible future will not shake off today's criminal regime - the ultimate national catastrophe is waiting for our country, up to the geopolitical split for several pieces, every one of which will be easily colonized and enslaved. Before our own eyes modern "political technologists" are tearing apart our Fatherland, repeating the same scenario that was played in 1917, when the jews made one part of Our Folk fight against the other. It is no wander that the revolutionaries of the past and modern days' political technologists are of the same damned tribe - the jewish race. The only difference is - today they are destroying our country under the flag of "democracy and liberalism".

   Considering all what was said above, we do state:

1.  Ukrainian Presidential Elections'2004 - is not the Ukrainian choice.

2.  Ukrainian Presidential Elections'2004 - is a play, where the White People of Ukraine is performing the scenery, supernumeraries and the spectators for whose money all this circus is running.

3.  Ukrainian Presidential Elections'2004 - is the attempt of zionists to destroy the great White country and to set on to fight two White peoples - Ukrainians and Russians.

4.  We, the White Patriots of Ukraine, flatly refuse to be the puppets in the jewish plays and we OPPOSE BOTH OF SO CALLED CANDIDATES FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE.

5.  We also appeal all the sound White Ukrainians to bethink themselves and to do our best to let Our People at the next Presidential elections have our own, Ukrainian President. The ruler who will be free from all the jewish clans and mafias. History proves, that we are able to do that...

7. What is the situation on the WP scene in Ukraine? Dwell on bands/ organizations/concert actions.

 The movement is pretty young, in comparison to other European countries. But certain way is carried through and for now there exist: official division WCOTC Ukraine, BH Ukrainian Division - these two organizations nowadays form the skinhead movement in the Ukraine, organize gigs, make actions. It would be not wise to enumerate what has been done, I can just say that the work is being done in all directions: propaganda, publicity and power methods.
There is a number of RAC bands, which are already for a couple of years on the frontline. There is a mighty NSBM division, with whom whe have already had more than one action. And I hope we'll arrange a lot more actions in the future. I am very satisfied and happy because of the heavily growing quality of performance and recording. I consider that if you are doing something, you have to do it better than anyone else. That is why we are White People, who can accomplish anything they wish.

8. What are the plans for the future of the band? Are there any releases planned?

  On the 12th of February a split-CD "HELLENIC - UKRAINIAN FRIENDSHIP" was released. On it you can hear exclusive tracks of Sokyra Peruna, Whites Load (Ukraine), No Surrender (Hellas), Bannerwar (Hellas). Sokyra Peruna is represented on this split with 4 new tracks.Also in March-April a split CD with Nokturnal Mortum should be out, where we will have 6 tracks. And I also hope, that our new album should be released sometime around July. We also take part in a double-CD compilation "TRIBUTE TO KOLOVRAT" with two cover-versions and in a French compilation in support of political prisoners.

9. Against what and in support of what does Sokyra Peruna fight and exist?

  All that is bad and evil outside forces you to resist. All that is proud and honest inside, what we have inherited from our Ancestors forces us to create. We estimate our art as one of the means of accomplishment of our goal. That is why any of our songs is first of all written to make people listen to the voice of Blood, hear the call of Ancestors, realize their privilege of being a White man. We don't just stupidly chant whom we need to beat, kill or yell "Sieg Heil!". We try to find the reason, and then try to find the countercheck.

10. Your last words and wishes to the readers.

  For the Holy land of our countries, for the blood of our Ancestors, for the Spirit of pure European Freedom rise and take the swords of Justice, first of all inner, spiritual swords, to resist all the judaic influence, which spreads from TV screens, mass-media, and dirty mouths of politicians, preachers and other shit. Be strong in this Struggle and the Gods will grant us Victory!!!
