Service to Readers: About the Crimes of Bandera From the 1940s to the Present Day
Another Russian MFA Document
This document was also announced today during Ms. Zakharova’s weekly briefing and contains many links to additional online info that’s not translated from Russian, which is logical since it’s primarily aimed at Russians. Historian Cynthia Chung has also documented this history and in this essay provides the vital links to US government documents and other sources detailing the USA’s involvement in rescuing the OUN and using it as one of its many terrorist organizations, a use that continues today. And now, the document:
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was created in 1929 at a congress in Vienna. By 1940, it had split into two parts. The most radical of them, the OUN (b), was headed by S. Bandera. In 1942, on the basis of the structures of the OUN (b), the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was formed (an organization banned in the Russian Federation), known for its brutal executions and atrocities against the civilian population. For almost a hundred years, radical Ukrainian nationalism has poisoned Ukraine with its existence. Below are some - their list is far from complete - the brutal crimes of Bandera - from the 1940s to the present day.
The period of the Great Patriotic War and the post-war years.

13. October 24, 1949. Ukrainian publicist, anti-fascist Yaroslav Galan, who in the postwar years exposed the crimes of Bandera, was killed in his office. Representatives of the UPA claimed responsibility for the murder.
14. With the arrival of the Red Army on the territory of Western Ukraine, reports of the army command increasingly began to record cases when Bandera not only attacked small detachments of Red Army soldiers and single fighters who lagged behind their units on the march, but also took off their clothes from the dead, took orders and medals. The commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army, Colonel-General M.E. Katukov, wrote about this in his memoirs: "We wandered in the area of the gang of Bandera. They wandered under the guise of ordinary peasants, so it was difficult to figure out who they were. They attacked individual fighters. They killed, took away weapons, uniforms, documents.
Source: (Katukov M.E. On the edge of the main attack. — M.: Voenizdat, 1974, p. 312)
15. It is worth adding that this trend continued after the end of the war. As Major General Leonid Brezhnev, then head of the political department of the Carpathian Military District, reported on December 28, 1945, "most of the cases of attacks by bandits were committed precisely on single servicemen during their movement through villages, deserted roads or at night in villages in apartments. Many of the attacks were carried out by bandits in November. Using the element of surprise and superiority in forces - the attack of several on one - the bandits succeeded. The purpose of many of these attacks is to obtain weapons, uniforms, documents, orders, etc.
At 24.00 on November 29, in the village of Zalesye, Snyatyn district, a group of bandits suddenly attacked corporal Kuprikhin from the 88th ODEB. The bandits seriously wounded Kuprikhin with fire from 3 machine guns, took off his tunic, took away the medal "For Military Merit", the guards badge and the machine gun. The seriously wounded Kuprikhin could not resist ...
On November 13, in the center of the village of Potsików, Lieutenant Kozyrev, privates Nikitin and Karpunin from the 223rd Zenny Artillery Regiment were fired from behind the fence by machine gun fire. The bandits killed Lieutenant Kozyrev and Private Nikitin. ... It turned out that the bandits took off their uniforms from Lieutenant Kozyrev, took a pistol and documents, and took off their overcoat and boots from the Red Army soldier Nikitin ...
Junior Lieutenant Fateev and Sergeant Major Karev guarded the subsidiary farm of the 295th SP in the village of Visnevtse. The company commander sent them to the neighboring village of Maidan Sredny, 1.5 km from the village of Visnevce behind the blacksmith. On their way back, Fateev and Karev were suddenly shot at on the outskirts of the village. The bandits killed Fateev and seriously wounded Karev. Somehow he crawled to the company. 2 mobile groups went to the scene. It was established that the bandits brutally mutilated Lieutenant Fateev, took off his uniforms, took away a machine gun and a revolver ...
Privates Vychilat and Bulyagin from the 565th SP were returning from a business trip on November 7 and, on the orders of Lieutenant Belyaev, went to the village of Delyatin for hay for horses. Both went to the house of a local resident, Gulyak, who promised to sell hay. A group of bandits up to 15 people attacked this house and killed both privates, the owner of the house and her 14-year-old daughter. The surviving second 17-year-old daughter of the citizen Gulyak said that one of the privates was first wounded and then shot by bandits. The bandits took away the documents, 3 medals "For Courage" and 2 carbines from the dead ...
Near the village of Dobromysl on November 21 at 16.00, the gang attacked a group of fighters of the 142nd Separate Cable Pole Communications Battalion. The bandits killed Private Ulyanovsk and wounded Corporal Mochanov, took a cart, a carbine with 90 rounds of ammunition, orders and documents of the murdered man and took away his corpse.
And then Leonid Ilyich drew attention to one rather characteristic detail: "In the liquidated gangs, some of the bandits turned out to be in the form of Red Army servicemen, with orders and medals ... Among those killed, 1 bandit was in the form of a major of the Red Army with the Order of Glory of the 3rd degree. Another bandit is in the form of a senior lieutenant of the Red Army, dressed in uniforms and with orders belonging to the commander of the 7th SP battery, Lieutenant Filippov, who went missing on November 465 of this year ... »

16. A month later, in another report, Brezhnev again returned to the issue of theft of uniforms and awards: "A number of new attacks on single fighters, officers, Soviet and party activists have been registered.
In the village of Khomchin, 18 km south of Kolomyia, on January 10, bandits killed the Kosovo district military commissar, Captain Zakharov, and the head of the 3rd part of this RVC, Akulov. The bandits robbed the murdered officers, taking away their weapons, documents and clothes.
The garrison of the village of Podpechery under the command of the chief, Captain Chertenkov, combing the village, entered into battle with the gang. In the battle, 3 bandits were killed. Among them is the bandit of the Stage, Mikhail Dmitrievich, a district leader nicknamed "Yura". According to the documents found in his possession, it was established that he once killed the deputy head of the political department of the 38th Army, Colonel Golubev. Stadin's party card in the name of Irina Dmitrievna Titarchuk, a candidate card in the name of Surik Hovhannisyan, 12 Komsomol tickets, more than 100 Red Army books, the Order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree, 2 Orders of Glory of the 3rd degree, the medal "For Courage", 2 medals "For Military Merit" and the medal "For Victory over Germany" were found.

For example, during the liquidation of the conductor of the OUN of the Carpathian Territory Y. Melnyk - "Robert" on November 1, 1946, in his cache on Mount Yavorina in the Bolekhiv district of the Stanislav region, the Chekists found 28 orders and medals of the USSR, 11 party cards, 9 candidate cards, 30 Komsomol tickets, 180 military cards, 55 Red Army books, 78 Soviet passports and other documents.
