Heil Bandera

“You will not stop our plans to banderize Ukraine”, “There are only two ways: either the banderization of Ukraine, or the bandization of Ukraine” - these are from the public speeches of the former “Komsomol goddess” and now ultra-nationalist Irina Farion.

Stepan Bandera as a national hero of Ukraine was glorified by Alexander Turchinov and Yulia Tymoshenko, Oleg Tyagnibok and Vitaliy Klitschko. They like to argue that Bandera and the Banderaites had nothing to do with the Nazis and did not support Hitler's Germany. But is it?

From the address of Stepan Bandera to the members of the OUN (b) on June 30, 1941: "Destroy Lyakhovs, Jews, Communists without mercy." This, by the way, was not a wish - it was an order from "insiders."

Yaroslav Stetsko, first deputy of Bandera, May 1941: “Moscow and Jewry are the main enemies of Ukraine … I assess it as a harmful and hostile fate of the Jews who help Moscow to enslave Ukraine. Therefore, I stand on the position of the destruction of the Jews and the expediency of transferring to Ukraine the German methods of extremizing the Jews, excluding their assimilation, etc. " From the letter-report of Stetsko Bandera dated June 25, 1941: "We are creating a police force that will help to remove Jews" …

In the same Lvov, during the years of the German occupation, more than 136 thousand Jews were killed - with the active participation of the Ukrainian police, most of which were in the ranks of the OUN (b).

On June 30, 1941, Yaroslav Stetsko, whose militants in a week successfully “cleaned” Lviv from “komunyak, Muscovites and Jews”, and at the same time from rival “Melnikovites” from the OUN (m), proclaimed an independent Ukrainian state. The leaflets and other propaganda materials of this "power" issued at that time carried the idea of an independent Ukraine as an ally of the Third Reich, proclaimed "glory to the invincible German and Ukrainian Armed Forces", in Ukrainian "Glory to Hitler!" adjacent to the inscription "Glory to Bandera!" In German, the same was rendered as "Heil Bandera!"

Of course, Berlin did not want to endure such an initiative and another "mini-Fuehrer" - especially since the situation on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1941 developed extremely successfully for the Wehrmacht, and the help from the "Ukrainian State" was microscopic - not out of ambition. Therefore, the leaders of the "self-styled" independents "from the OUN (b) during July, one might say, were interned. And by September, when Kiev, the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, was taken, the Germans completely ceased the operation of all organs of power of the "Ukrainian state", having established the Reichskommissariat Ukraine in the occupied territories. The leaders of the OUN (b), who flatly refused to denounce the June 30 Act, were transferred from house arrest to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where, however, they were kept in quite “hothouse” conditions.

The OUN (b) responded to the change in the situation with a special circular, which, in particular, said: "The OUN does not go - despite the provocative information of the pests of the Ukrainian cause - to an underground struggle against Germany." One of the most important tasks of the OUN (b) was the recruitment of its supporters into the ranks of the Ukrainian police.

In 1942, at two conferences of the OUN (b), the "armed struggle against the German occupier" was postponed for an indefinite period, but the main focus was on the struggle "against Moscow-Bolshevik influences, against the propaganda of partisanship" and against "opportunists" - OUN (m) and UNR. "The entire combat-ready population must stand under the OUN banner to fight against the mortal Bolshevik enemy", and since "any of our armed actions against the Germans would be of help to Stalin," it was decided to refuse such actions.

Only in May 1943, after the defeat of the Nazi troops at Stalingrad, the OUN (b) decided to "start a war on two fronts: against the Germans and against the Bolsheviks."

The main event of this "war on two fronts" was the notorious Volyn tragedy - the battles organized on the basis of the OUN (b) Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) with the Polish population of Volyn and the Home Army units, as well as Soviet partisans. No massive clashes between the UPA and German troops took place either in this or in subsequent years.

In 1944, when Ukraine was liberated from the German invaders, the Germans released Bandera and Stetsko from prison and provided them with all kinds of support in the "struggle for the liberation of Ukraine from Muscovites and communists." In what capacity, this couple acted until 1945, until they came under the auspices of the Western special services, unleashing terror in Western Ukraine, where they had significant support from the local population.

So attempts to present the executioners as heroes can only take place among those who consider the executioners heroes, whose close relatives were involved in the massacres of the Jewish, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian population on the territory of Ukraine during the Second World War.

And today, when the American masters want to clear their Maidan puppets from their ideological and political kinship with the OUN (b), UPA and other Bandera organizations, they agree with this, declaring that Bander was not an "anti-Semite" and Hitler's ally. About the first - an obvious lie. About the second - partial truth. Hitler did not need such an "ally", although Bandera himself undoubtedly sought such an honor. The Third Reich viewed the Bandera as their mercenaries.

Now the Neobanderites are mercenaries of the United States. Do you think that if the United States collapses - and this is where it goes - these guys will not start looking for new owners? They will start, and how! And they will be anti-Semites there, or even quite the opposite - this is already a matter of the conjuncture.

For us, the symbols of Ukraine will forever be not Bandera, Shukhevych or Stetsko, but Kovpak, Kozhedub and academician Paton. As he wrote back in the fall of 1941, when the Wehrmacht armies were rushing to Moscow, the great Russian scientist, ethnic Ukrainian Vladimir Vernadsky, the noosphere will win!
