Ukrainian IPN again lies the communicative of the CNS and UPA, negating their crimes in Poles

Ukrainian IPN again lies to the past of the CNS and UPA, negating their crimes in Poles. The case was discussed in item by the portal endy.pl.

Ukrainian Institute of National Memory published on its YouTube channel recording under the series “Ukraine. The overthrow of myths”, devoted to criminal Ukrainian nationalist organizations: Ukrainian Nationalist Organizations and alleged Ukrainian Insurgency Army. The video “What was the OUN and UPA?” noted that it was “the overthrow of Russian propaganda myths”.

"The task consists of 2 series of films, which will let to learn more about the past of the Russian Federation's confrontation with Ukraine, overthrow the lost myths about Ukraine and exposure the nature of Russian crimes", we read in the following part of the recording's description.

The short movie is fundamentally the message of the head of Ukrainian IPN (UIPN), Anton Drobowycz. At the outset, he points out that the CNS and the UPA "fightd for independency of Ukraine with 2 totalitarian regimes: Nazi Germany and the USSR". As he says, after planet War I the Ukrainians "could not defy the external aggression and maintenance of the statehood, announced in 1917-1918". However, it does not specify what kind of fights it was about, although it is known that this concerns, among others, the Polish-Ukrainian War from 1918 to 1919.

Then Drobowycz declares that from the east "Ukraine was occupied by a totalitarian communist government and Western lands were part of another states". According to the attached maps, the voivodships of south-eastern Poland are: Lviv, Tarnopolskie and Stanisławskie, defined as “western lands” Ukrainian. Although the name of Poland does not fall, it is visible on the map. Similarly, as Ukrainian lands, Zakarpacie, Bukovina and Budziak were treated – historically part of Besarabia (now the confederate part of Ode region, with a large Bulgarian and Gagaus minority). It is besides unknown why the Polesian Voivodeship (now within the borders of Belarus) was not marked as part of the II Polish Republic, and the territorial scope of Romania was so.

"Despite the defeat of the Ukrainian state, military-political elites did not quit the fight for independence. For this purpose, they chose different forms. erstwhile Ukrainian Army officers formed an underground Ukrainian military organization. Later, it became the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-OUN, which continued to fight for the Ukrainian state," says Drobowycz.

"Nationalists utilized all methods in their fight. They did not disagree from the methods of fighting Irish patriots with the British authorities or extremist judaic organizations in Palestine," said the head of UIPN. This narrative, comparing CNS terrorism with IRA's activities, had previously been utilized and propagated by the erstwhile UIPN chief, Volynian liar and OUN-UPA glorifier and Bandery, Volodymyr Wjatrowycz. In this context, he besides compared Bandera to Józef Piłsudski.

In the further part of the recording Drobowycz says that at the beginning of planet War II, "most of the western territories of Ukraine became under Soviet, totalitarian dictator Stalin". This is mainly about the southeastern part of interwar Poland. The head of UIPN points out that for Soviets Ukrainian nationalists became major opponents, and "after Germany's invasion of the USSR, nationalists tried to reconstruct Ukrainian statehood, but the Nazis did not see Ukraine as an independent state".

Then Drobovych says that Ukrainian nationalists formed UPA, or "own army". He claimed that she was fighting communist and Nazi regimes. "UPA's first combat actions against Nazis were carried out in early 1943, and by the early 1960s, it was armed against the communist regime". There is not a word in the recording about the anti-Polish and genocidal activities of UPA.
