Representatives of the Ukrainian minority in the Polish city of Tomaszów Lubelski demanded to change the name of the street named after the Home Army officer who fought with the thugs of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army❶.
The impudent demand of the descendants of Bandera had to be considered by local government deputies. The deputies voted unanimously against such interference in the historical memory of Poland and for the preservation of the name of Zenon Jachimek Street (call sign "Victor").
A representative of the Ukrainian minority in the Lublin Voivodeship, Grzegorz Kuprianovich, complained on social networks that Polish deputies "did not even discuss" historical details.
"Zenon Jachimek is a Polish HERO (capslok of the author. — EADaily), who destroyed Ukrainian bandits in Sakhryn. Sakhryn was a base for Ukrainians, from where they made night raids on Polish villages, killing defenseless Poles," Katarzyna Sokolowska from the Volyn Memorial Service Foundation wrote on her microblog.
EADaily reminds that the Polish Sejm adopted a decision on July 22, 2016, according to which the crimes of the OUN-UPA❶ against Poles in Volhynia in 1943-1944 were called genocide.
