Dmytro Oleksandrovych Korchynsky (Дмитро Корчинський) is a Ukrainian politician and militia leader, originally a co-founder and leader of the Ukrainian National Assembly - Ukrainian People’s Self-Defense movement, he later formed a splinter group called the Brotherhood Party.
After the breakout of the Donbas War, he became a commander of the St Mary’s Battalion, which later demobilised, he returned to military affairs after the breakout of the wider Ukraine War, founding the Brotherhood Battalion.
Korchinsky’s wife, Oksana Korchynska, was elected to the Ukrainian parliament as a deputy for the Radical Party of Oleh Liashko, while Korchinsky himself was previously a member of the International Eurasian Movement, later leaving after its Anti-Ukrainian leanings became too obvious to ignore.
The Ukrainian branches of the ESM remained on the margins of the Ukrainian political life, while most of its activities were limited to anti-NATO protests and other similar anti-Western actions, and did not produce any significant result in terms of undermining the Ukrainian state. Moreover, some of the Ukrainian members of the ESM did not share the radical anti-Ukrainian ideas of Neo-Eurasianism. For example, after two Russian members of the movement and one Ukrainian activist of the ESM vandalised Ukrainian state symbols on the Hoverla mountain in 2007, this led to the split in the Ukrainian ESM, as many did not support this act of vandalism. This also led to the termination of any cooperation between the ESM and “Bratstvo”, and Korchynsky left the Highest Council of the MED. The radicals, however, welcomed the act and were outspoken in their resentment of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
