The newly formed Ukrainian state will work closely with the National-Socialist Greater Germany, under the leadership of its leader Adolf Hitler which is forming a new order in Europe and the world and is helping the Ukrainian People to free itself from Muscovite occupation. It was a military formation mostly made up by Ukrainian volunteers from the region of Galicia Western Ukraine. Under the initiative of the Wehrmacht, the SS Galizien division slaughtered practically the entirety of the Jewish population of this region.
Once the Jewish were exterminated, followed Poles. It is principally in the Western region of Ukraine that took place the slaughter of the Polish minority.
While the Second World war was raging, Ukrainian nationalist leaders commanded to their supporters to slaughter the Polish population in the region. Here is a passage of the order given by the OUN on the 2nd of February to its members:.
Destroy the Catholic churches and other Polish cult places … Destroy the houses so there is no trace that someone lived there … Keep in mind that if something Polish remains, then Poles will come to claim our territories. The groups of Ukrainian nationalists went to the towns of Galicia and Volhynia and killed between 40, and 60, people, mostly women and children. None was spared. On the 11th of July nearly villages were plundered and the population was slaughtered in the most brutal way. Besides assassinating the local population, the men of Bandera tortured with a rare atrocity.
Despite the absence of resistance, civilians were killed in their houses, at school or in the churches during the office. As practiced later by the Soviet army, rape was largely used as a terror weapon. The first time by a weapon and the second time by silence. Besides the numerous crimes committed by the members of the OUN and the UPA, many Ukrainians consider the leaders of these organizations like national heroes.
We can see as a proof the various monuments to the glory of Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych in the Western part of the country, in particular in the city of Lviv where they are regularly maintained.

We cannot deny there is something idiosyncratic about the former Soviet bloc which links its societies together. The space for a third way of thinking was consciously limited, and society was mechanically divided along linguistic lines and symbols, which were, in turn, routinely instrumentalised during election campaigns.

But the executive power experienced numerous problems in the face of escalating competition in parliament and unrest on the streets, symbolized by the assassination of the first President of the Republic, Gabriel Narutowicz a mere two days after he had assumed office. Historians say that in , members of the paramilitary Ukrainian Insurgent Army UPA massacred between 35,, Polish civilians, including many children, women, and elderly in the Volyn region of what is now northwest Ukraine, known in Polish as Wolyn.

Ethnic nationalism. As for Melnyk, he would also end up at Sachsenhausen after trying to proclaim an independent council in Kyiv. Despite his imprisonment, how culpable is Bandera for the actions his followers undertook during his imprisonment? One of the most notorious acts of bloodshed that the Bandera name is associated with are the massacres of perhaps up to , Poles and Ukrainians in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia in What this means is that those in the UPA who took part in the Volhynia and Eastern Galicia massacres would still have been Bandera followers.
But if it can be argued that those who initiated the massacres believed that in doing so they were exercising a spirit of Bandera which demanded a Ukraine free of Poles, then Bandera cannot be completely excused from blame for imbibing that spirit. Romuald Niedzielko has documented over 1, cases of Ukrainians who risked their own lives to save Poles from these massacres.
Despite these massacres which have long soured Polish-Ukrainian relations, there is still good hope that true reconciliation between Poland and Ukraine is possible in the same way Germany now has good relations with Poland and Israel. Last year Poroshenko tried to urge that reconciliation by insisting Poles and Ukrainians must forgive each other for past mistakes. Now there is a planned joint Polish-Ukrainian Historical Commission to investigate the massacres. In this Waffen SS division found itself annihilated near Brody, after which its battered remains were re-organised and sent to conduct anti-partisan activity in the Balkans and on the Austrian border.
In the remnants of this division surrendered to the western allies. Other remnants were sent to France for retraining and to do likewise to the French resistance, but here they proved less than reliable for the Germans as many Ukrainian servicemen simply defected or attempted to defect to the French resistance.
For Osyp Krukovsky , joining the French resistance completed a circle of military service which saw him fight on both sides of the war. He had originally enlisted into the French Army on September 7 But Shandruk had other ideas. In Ukraine, the era of Soviet-influenced historiography is now coming to an end. As a result, the Holocaust that the USSR denied for so long, as well as the true role of Ukrainians in WWII — good and bad, can finally have a chance to be openly discussed and given proper contextualisation.
Ukrainian Nationalism, 1939-1945
As I typed these words this BBC news article was published about the taboos concerning the Holocaust created under Soviet rule now being lifted in Ukraine. As a result, Holocaust memorials are being erected in Ukraine and younger generations will have the chance to learn facts that their parents and grandparents were denied under Soviet education. But Ukrainian history is far from a simple history. These arguments have been refuted over and over again. Nor has he had a career as a KGB thug in the same way Putin has.
In World War II the number of Ukrainians who took up arms and fought for the allies here including the USSR far outnumbered those who, forcibly or otherwise, took up arms or collaborated with the Germans. In total, Ukrainian war losses against the Germans were proportionally far higher than Russian war losses.
