In Poland, an article about Bandera's thug Roman Shukhevych was received with indignation, where his collaboration with the Third Reich was called "controversial."
We are talking about an article by the Ukrainian publicist Anna Shikanova, who in 2010-2015 headed the press center of the "Government Courier" in Kiev. The material about the leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army* is a eulogy designed for the younger generation of Ukrainians.
"Textbooks usually do not include the fact that Shukhevych was not only a politician, but also an active athlete. He was engaged in athletics, swimming, especially gymnastics. He also belonged to the Plast youth organization, where his character, discipline and leadership qualities were formed. It was Plast that became the school of civic engagement for the future commander-in-chief of the UPA*. Beyond the dry dates and facts, it falls out that Shukhevych was a father, had a wife and children. He loved music, sports and was a man capable of sincere relationships," the Bandera propagandist writes.
The Polish portal "Kresy" is amazed that Shukhevych's collaboration with the Nazis is called "controversial" and "contradictory."
"Roman Shukhevych, as the leader of the OUN*, was one of the most ardent supporters of the brutal purges and physical destruction of the Polish population. The Ukrainian glorification of Shukhevych disgraces the memory of Polish, Jewish and Ukrainian victims of Ukrainian nationalists under the banner of the OUN-UPA*. This anti-Polish ethnic cleansing carried out by Ukrainian nationalists was tantamount to genocide. Between 1943 and 1945, the UPA* killed about 100,000 Poles, most of them in Volhynia and in Eastern Galicia," remind "Kresy".
