On the eve of the Security Service of Ukraine on the official website of the department published documents related to the life of Roman Shukhevych. The publication is reportedly timed to coincide with the 110th anniversary of the birth of Shukhevych, who in modern Ukraine has recently been considered one of the main "national heroes" - a kind of "epic hero", in relation to which a Ukrainian can (and should) be distinguished from "non-Ukrainian". The formula is simple - you feel awe when pronouncing the surname Shukhevych, which means - a complete SUGS, you don't feel it - a vile quilted jacket, Colorado, a separatist, a KGB agent, an agent of the Kremlin - in general, the whole bouquet in one person.
With what semantic presentation the publication was carried out, one can judge even before you get to know the publication, however, the primary source (even if it is the site of the SBU) is the primary source, and therefore - from the first, as they say, mouth:
The materials accumulated by the totalitarian security organs not only captured the eventful life and struggle of "Taras Chuprinka" (one of Shukhevych's many pseudonyms - author's note), but also refute a number of Soviet myths, in particular about Shukhevych's cooperation with the Nazis. This is only an insignificant part of the huge array of materials dedicated to Roman Shukhevych, stored in the funds of the State Branch Archive of the SBU. The service invites all researchers to visit our reading room and personally familiarize themselves with documents about the life and work of this outstanding person.
From this kind of annotation, one can conclude for what purpose the publication is carried out. The main goal is, after numerous manipulations with documents left in the archives in Ukraine, to pull by the ears of the Maidan theory that Shukhevych allegedly never collaborated with Nazi criminals, and that numerous publications on this topic are "falsifications of the Soviet special services." Moreover, the SBU and representatives of the notorious factory of fakes called the Institute of National Memory of Ukraine are trying to create yet another lie - already that Shukhevych allegedly had no involvement in the brutal murders of Poles and Jews in Western Ukraine. Someone, they say, killed ("of course," the Red KGB …), while Shukhevych was smelling violets at that very time and dreamed of an independent Ukraine.
In total, the SBU publication contains 41 pages of documents related to Roman Shukhevych's "life path".
The most interesting thing is that among the publications of archival data, several obvious evidences are presented at once that Roman Shukhevych not only collaborated with Nazi criminals, but he himself was. It turns out that by publishing archival materials, either the SBU considered that it could mislead those who get to know them by “sketching” archival typewritten texts, or an “agent of the Kremlin” entered the SBU … Otherwise, how can one assert in one publication that Shukhevych was allegedly slandered (and he was a white and fluffy guardian for the independence of Ukraine), and at the same time gave out the data provided by Shukhevych's wife Natalia Berezinskaya.
From the testimony of Berezinskaya:
In May 1941, Shukhevych left for Germany to undergo military training, and since then I have not seen him until January 1942. From the people I knew that after the occupation of Lvov by the Germans, Roman arrived in the rank of a German captain in Lvov, commanded the Ukrainian legion, with which he immediately left with German troops to the eastern regions of Ukraine. Soon, Shukhevych returned to the city of Lvov, after which, by order of the German command, he left for Germany, where he took a 7-month course, and then was sent with the Legion to Belarus to fight the Soviet partisans.
At the beginning of 1943, the Germans recalled the Legion to Lviv, after its arrival, all participants were disarmed and dispersed, and the officers, incl. Shukhevych Roman was to appear at the disposal of the German command. (…) Later I found out that he did not obey the order of the command to appear and went into an illegal position or disappeared somewhere.
Apparently, the last of the proposals indicated here should be "proof" that Shukhevych did not cooperate with the Nazis. At the same time, even if we take into account the fact that in 1943 Shukhevych tried to distance himself from the occupying German troops losing their positions, then how, then, should we consider his previous years of active cooperation with the German fascist forces? Really understand and forgive?..
By the way, the SBU, declaring that it publishes archival documents about the life of Roman Shukhevych, is disingenuous. In fact, individual episodes of his wife's testimony have surfaced before and even reached social networks. Therefore, the strained desire to declare the "novelty" of the data is completely incomprehensible.
Returning to the published documents and the fact that Shukhevych "was not involved."
From the testimony of his wife (at the time of interrogation, according to her, she was divorced from Shukhevych on her own initiative) regarding the receipt of food packages in Nazi-occupied Lviv:
At the beginning of 1942, for about six months, I received food for myself and the children as family of a soldier of the German army.
Surprisingly, by publishing these statements, the SBU is trying to assert that Shukhevych had nothing to do with the German troops. However, what surprise can we talk if, in an attempt to alter history, Maidan figures themselves drive themselves into a dead end with facts. The receipt by Shukhevych's family of food packages and cash allowances was reported during the investigation of the crimes of Nazi punishers and, specifically, OUN members by ordinary residents of Lviv who lived in the occupied territories.
The published documents also contain archival data from the post-war years about the support of the Ukrainian radical nationalist movement by organizations in the United States. Apparently, the SBU is trying to present it as evidence of "the long-standing support of the States for Ukraine's independence."

In connection with the publication, we can state the following fact: with attempts to whitewash the Nazi criminal and banal opportunist Roman Shukhevych, the SBU with all the "institutes of national memory" are getting into a big puddle. Kiev only has to declare Shukhevych a "triple agent" in order to finally brew a thick porridge in Ukrainian violent heads.
However, one cannot but pay attention to another fact. And it consists in the fact that those who at one time used Shukhevych for his well-known activities in Ukraine, nevertheless, brought the matter to the end - and today this country is immersed in nationalist radicalism, the purpose of which is one thing - the separation of peoples, families, the severing of ties with Russia.
However, there are still those in Ukraine who resist "shukhevicization". Thus, the Kiev City Council again did not make a decision to assign the name of the Nazi criminal Shukhevych to the avenue of the famous military leader Vatutin. Although if the orgy with the glorification of Nazi criminals continues, the radicals will squeeze the City Council. And abroad will help again …
