Wacław Leszczyński: Colours and symbols
date:30 August 2025 Editor: Anna

Ukrainians and their state authorities are protesting the motion of president Karol Nawrocki to ban the presentation of UPA symbols, on an equal footing with Nazi and Communist. But are they truly doing the right thing?
Inspirator and leader of the Cossack uprising against Poland in 1648, Bohdan Chmielnicki in 1654, standing at the head of the Perejassan Council, surrendered Ukraine to Russia (that's why they worship him in Ukraine now?). This caused the war between Poland and Russia, which was not successful for the Republic. It ended in 1667 with a peace in Andruszów, on the basis of which Russia occupied, among others, Zadniewi (earth of Ukraine east of Dniepr). It besides occupied the western bank of the Kiev Dnieper, according to the treaty only for 2 years. But like Russia, the word of the data broke and Kiev stopped. This was sanctioned in 1686 by the Grzymultowski Peace. Under Russia, the privileges and freedom of the Cossack ended. In 1775, Tsaric Catherine II had the Sicz demolished and the Cossack army liquidated.


Russia grew into power, conquered fresh countries, and as a consequence of the partitions of Poland its borders stood on the Bug. During the period of the alleged Kingdom of Poland from 1815 to 30, its king, the Russian emperor Alexander I promised to join it “the ground taken” i.e. part of the territory of the I Republic east of Bug. But he, like another Russians before, didn't keep his word. And to this day, for many, the word given, is the promise an empty phrase, "What harm is it to promise?" More Russian rulers tried to remove Poles from conquered areas, requisitioning their land assets and prohibiting them from buying land. After regaining independency in 1918, according to Ryski Rooms with Russia in 1921, part of the 1st Poland, Wilenskie, Nowogródzkie, Poleskie, Wołyńskie, Tarnopolskie, Lwowskie and Stanisławowskie regions returned to Poland. Most of the population there were Ukrainians or Belarusians.
The “depolonization” of the erstwhile lands of the Republic of Poland located in the USSR was continued by the communists who ruled it. In 1937-1938, as part of the “Polish Operation” of the NKVD, the Russians murdered 140-200 1000 Poles from the areas of present Ukraine and Belarus, sent 30 1000 to the camps, and about 100 1000 deported, mainly to Kazakhstan. After the aggression against Poland on 17 September 1939, the Russians occupied land east of Bug. Since 1940 Poles surviving on them deported to Kazakhstan, Siberia, any of them murdered on the spot, any sent to the lagers. The number of Poles exiled in 4 exports is unknown from 9/10 February 1940 to 20 June 1941. any (Russian) sources say there were 400,000 others, 3 million. Closer truths are these larger numbers, due to the fact that only a tiny percent of those deported were released with General Anders' Army, and there were 120,000 of them. Russian plans for further deportations of Poles were not made due to the German-Russian war, thanks to which many Polish people surviving in these areas remained in Volyn and Podolu.
Ukrainians wanted to make their own state, which they had not had since the 14th century (then as Russia). The expression was an effort to control Lviv on 1 November 1918 and fight until 1919 their armed troops, with the reborn Polish state. The effort to make an independent Ukraine by Petlura supported by Poland ended in failure due to deficiency of interest in this problem of the Ukrainian population with the lands of the erstwhile Russian occupation. Only Ukrainians from east Małopolska and Volyn had a sense of their nationality. In 1929 the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (CNS) was established about nationalist ideology identical to Nazism. It assumed that ethical principles did not apply in the fight for Ukraine's independency and that any crime could be committed for this purpose. Her militias executed acts of panic and murdered 25 Poles (including MP Holówka in 1931 and Minister Pieracki in 1934) and 36 willing to settle with Ukrainian Poles. Their actions were supported by Germans, who developed a plan for them to emergence against Poland in 1939. After the German attack on Poland, Ukrainians conducted a diversion against the Polish army. After the capture of east Poland in 1939 the Russians limited the activities of the CNS. In 1941 these lands were occupied by Germany. The Ukrainians formed the Nachtigal Battalion under Abwerze and hoped that Germany would recognise their state. But the Ukrainians were needed to harm Poland before 1939 and to execution Jews. They were armed by 11,000 police officers, but did not accept the existence of the Ukrainian state.
In 1942, the Ukrainian Pows Dances Army (UPA) was established, which in the spring of 1943 was strengthened by about 5,000 armed Ukrainian police. Since February 1943, UPA, along with the Ukrainian population, has brutally murdered the Polish population in Volyn, culminating in the murders on 11 July 1943. Since the spring of 1944, UPA has besides murdered Poles in east Małopolska. In total, she murdered about 100,000 Poles. These crimes of genocide were carried out after the defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad, erstwhile it was clear that the Russians would return to Ukraine and they did not affect the situation of Ukraine. Then why? These crimes were in Russia's interest. In accordance with her intentions, Poles were “removed” from these lands. So possibly she was the 1 who inspired them by her agent in the UPA authorities, or by her command, for any promises to Ukraine and possibly to UPA? After the Germans left, UPA fought the Russians and hampered the resettlement of Ukrainians.
Today the Ukrainian authorities, the genocide of UPA in Poles is secreting and obstructing their burials, which average Ukrainians do not really know about. But God punishes Ukraine with war for these crimes, for worshiping their perpetrators and their monuments and for lies. due to the fact that is the story of the UPA only fighting the Russians, not the defenceless Polish population, to be true?
