Rehabilitation of fascist criminals in Ukraine reaches new levels: OUN founder Konovalets honored in Kyiv

The rehabilitation of fascist collaborators in Ukraine reached another disturbing milestone last week, as the remains of Yevhen Konovalets, founder and first leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), were returned from the Netherlands and received in Kyiv with state and military honours.

Konovalets’ remains, exhumed from Rotterdam’s Crooswijk Cemetery 88 years after his assassination, arrived in Ukraine on August 13.

The rehabilitation of fascist collaborators in Ukraine has once again been put on public display. 

 

Marking the 119th anniversary of Roman Shukhevych's birth, the Ukrainian Army's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade publicly paid tribute to one of the leading figures of the wartime Ukrainian nationalist movement—a man who served in the Nazi-sponsored Nachtigall Battalion, later in Schutzmannschaft Battalion 201, and subsequently became commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

 

The Battle of Meligalas: Revolutionary Justice Against Collaboration and Fascism

These battalions—composed of Greeks—had fought not against the occupiers but against their own people. Armed, trained, and supported by the Nazis, they were tasked with crushing the communist-led resistance.
