I think there is no need to talk about what is happening now in Ukraine. I just want to note that this is a civil war. It was conceived by Ukrainian traitors in 1941 with the support of Nazi Germany with weapons and money, and continued today - with the support of the West and the United States with money and information (I think the supply of weapons from the United States will not rust).
Can we fight now with weapons in hand? I'm afraid not; do we have money in an amount that rivals the American one? No, definitely not.
But we have a field of war, the victory on which depends entirely on us. This is an informational field.
The Nazism that is now rising in Ukraine has Bandera roots, uses its rhetoric, uses its methods. And we, knowing their history, their tricks, can resist them. Everyone who stands on the information barricades to help.
MYTHS ABOUT BANDER
Myth # 1 Bandera did not fight from the very beginning with Russia and, moreover, Russians, as they are credited with.
From the very beginning of their appearance, the Bandera members waged a fierce war against the Poles (who were occupiers) and Russians (who were also considered "Muscovite" occupiers). And they were preparing for this war much ahead of time.
Testimony of Colonel Stolze at the Nuremberg Trials on December 25, 1945:
"Lahuzen gave me an order for familiarization … The order stated that in order to inflict a lightning strike on the Soviet Union, Abwehr-2, when carrying out subversive work against the USSR, must use his agents to incite national enmity between the peoples of the Soviet Union. In particular, I personally was instructions were given to the leaders of the Ukrainian nationalists, German agents Melnik (nickname "Consul-1") and Bandera, to organize provocative demonstrations in Ukraine immediately after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in order to undermine the nearest rear of the Soviet troops, as well as to convince the international community that that the Soviet home front is disintegrating."
E. Stolze: .. At the end of the war with Poland, Germany was intensively preparing for a war against the Soviet Union, and therefore measures were taken along the Abwehr's line to intensify subversive activities, because the measures that were carried out through Melnik and other agents seemed insufficient.
For this purpose, the well-known Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera was recruited, who during the war was released by the Germans from prison, where he was imprisoned by the Polish authorities for participating in a terrorist act against the leaders of the Polish government."
(source - materials of the Nuremberg trial. Book of the Nuremberg trial,. M.)
As Petro Poltava, the "historian" of the Banderaites, writes about this:
Bandera's members have recently been a widely used, popular name for all participants in the insurrectionary and underground liberation struggle, which began against the Nazis during the Nazi occupation, and since 1944 (sic!) Continues against the Bolshevik invaders.
Myth No. 2 Bandera never considered the Russian people an enemy, just like no other people, like Poles, Germans or Jews.
There are so many facts that a small fraction is enough to clearly see their position on this issue.
Testimony of General E. Lahuzen, one of the leaders of the Abwehr, at the meeting of the International Military Tribunal on November 30 in 1945
"… Canaris was instructed to create an insurrectionary movement in Ukrainian Galicia, the goal of which would be the extermination of Jews and Poles … it is necessary to stage an uprising or insurrectionary movement in such a way that all the courtyards of the Poles were engulfed in fire and that all Jews were killed."
(Source - materials of the Nuremberg trial, June 30, 1941)
Fascist troops occupy Lviv. Together with them, the famous battalion of the Abwehr "Nachtigall" (translated from German - "Nightingale"), consisting of Bandera and headed by Roman Shukhevych, Bandera's closest associate, entered the city.
On the same day, the whole city was sealed with the addresses of Stepan Bandera: "People! Know! Moscow, Poland, Madyars, Jews are your enemies. Poor people! Lyakhiv, Jews, communes know without mercy!.."
In 1941 Y. Stetsko lied: “Moscow and Jewishness are the biggest enemies of Ukraine. I consider Moscow as the main and decisive enemy, which imperiously held Ukraine in captivity. And, nevertheless, I appreciate the hostile and sabotage will of the Jews, who helped Moscow to enslave Ukraine. Therefore, I stand on the position of exterminating the Jews and the expediency of transferring to Ukraine the German methods of exterminating Judaism, excluding their assimilation."
(Sources: Berkhoff K. C., Carynnyk M. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Dyukov A. About the participation of the OUN - UPA in the Holocaust: "Moscow and Judaism are the main enemies of Ukraine" // IA "REGNUM", 14.10.2007)
I cannot but quote the words of one of Bandera's supporters about how they were guided during the war by the "three principles of Bandera":
"- brotherly attitude towards those of them who support the struggle of the Ukrainian people for their state and interests; - tolerant attitude towards those of them who simply live in Ukraine; - hostile attitude towards those who are hostile to Ukraine, its independence, the state and language."
This paragraph is from the category of those when it is so sad that it is already funny.
Myth number 3 Bandera ideology is not fascist or Nazi
One of the theorists of the OUN wrote: A. Andrievsky: "Our newest nationalism is not the result of the efforts of the Ukrainian mind, but the product of Italian fascism and German national socialism. Dontsov prepared the basis for this enthusiasm."
(Source: "Stepan Bandera. Prospects for the Ukrainian revolution". - Drogobych, 1998. - S. 5-8; S. Gordusevich Stepan Bandera. Lyudina and myth. - K., 2000. - S. 43-44)
Myth No. 4 Bandera did not cooperate with the German occupation regime before the war, but met them as liberators
After the end of the 1st World War and the Civil War, the “little strikers” who found themselves in emigration and other similar audiences co-organized in the UVO (Ukrainian military organization), later transformed into the OUN, and back in the 1930s, the “fighters for freedom” gently adhered to Hitler, financial streams began to flow, which immediately invigorated the hearts of the OUN members. They even adjusted the ideology, a kind of second-rate fascism emerged. But with claims: “Blow the rows, make up the rows and bathe in the blood, wrap in the fire. Fire and shelter, life is that will, for death to plow at their breasts … Chuush cry - Zig hail! Heil! Zig heil! " (Y. Lipa "Ukrainian Doba", Lviv, 1934r.).
Already in 1938. In Germany, several training centers were created where OUN saboteurs were trained. Although there were different views in the leadership of the Reich about their capacity, but the chief of the Abwehr V. Canaris said: "There is no waste, there is only cadres."
Myth number 5 Stepan Bandera himself fought against Hitler, so he was back in 1941. sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp (a similar myth - Bandera stopped cooperating with the German occupation regime after 1941)
Two weeks after the capture of Lvov, the Nachtigall battalion, formed under the leadership of Bandera, turned the German rear into a field for its showdown with the Poles, which caused extreme discontent with Hitler. And it's not that they felt sorry for some "Untermensch". The task of the general staff of any belligerent country is to wreak havoc in the enemy's rear and vice versa, to ensure order in its own rear. In addition, the Germans believed that the population of the occupied countries should work with enthusiasm (or not) for the good of the Reich, and not lie with their throats cut in a ditch.
In addition, in an unknown direction (to the accounts of Swiss banks), a large amount of money, allocated by German intelligence to finance the OUN, flowed away.
So, according to Lazarek: "S. Bandera received 2.5 million marks from the Germans, that is, as much as Melnik receives," the source - materials of the Nuremberg trial) and transferred to a personal account in a Swiss bank.
(Historical portraits: Makhno, Petlyura, Bandera. - K., 1990. - P. 24)
But that was not all - without a demand from the Germans, the Act on the Proclamation of the Ukrainian State was adopted. The OUN hoped that the Germans would put up with this. An attempt to unauthorized proclamation of a state in the territory already occupied by German troops, where the latter have already suffered losses, while the OUN could not or did not want to organize a large-scale uprising in the rear of the Red Army in Western Ukraine, ended sadly for the Banderaites.
July 5, 1941 at the meeting, Adolf Hitler said: “Parteigenosse Himmler, machen Sie Ordnung mit diesen Bande!”(Partaigenosse Himmler, clean up this gang!). Almost immediately, the Gestapo arrested S. Bandera, Y. Stetsko, as well as about 300 members of the OUN. "Nachtigall" was urgently reorganized into a police battalion and transferred to Belarus to fight the partisans, and Bandera was taken under house arrest in Krakow, and then transferred to Sachsenhausen, in a kind of hotel, where high-ranking Nazi accomplices, temporarily withdrawn to the reserve, were sitting.
Bandera's people were very worried:
"The Nazis threw hundreds of Ukrainian patriots into concentration camps and prisons. Mass terror began. In the Auschwitz concentration camp, Stepan Bandera's brothers, Oleks and Vasyl, were brutally tortured."
(Source - article by Stepan Bandera. Life and work. Author: Igor Nabytovich)
And no matter how Bandera's people insist, the story does not end there.
In the 44th Hitler removed Bandera from the reserve and included in the Ukrainian National Committee, whose task was to organize the fight against the advancing Red Army.
“In early April 1945, Bandera had instructions from the Main Directorate of Imperial Security to gather all Ukrainian nationalists in the Berlin area and defend the city from the advancing Red Army units. Bandera created detachments of Ukrainian nationalists who acted as part of the Volkssturm, while he himself fled. He left the dacha of the 4-D department and fled to Weimar. Burlai told me that Bandera agreed with Danyliv on a joint transition to the side of the Americans."
(Source: Müller testimony dated September 19, 1945)
And now let's give the floor to Bandera, we want to know the opinion of both sides:
“Feeling the strength of the UPA on their own skin, the Germans began to look for an ally against Moscow in the OUN-UPA. In December 1944, Bandera and several other members of the revolutionary OUN were released. They were offered negotiations on possible cooperation. Ukrainian Statehood and the creation of the Ukrainian army as separate independent from the German armed forces of an independent state. The Nazis did not agree to recognize the independence of Ukraine and sought to create a pro-German puppet government and Ukrainian military formations as part of the German army. Bandera resolutely rejected these proposals."
(Source - article by Stepan Bandera. Life and work. Author: Igor Nabytovich)
Myth No. 6 About the Bandera brothers tortured in Auschwitz by the Germans.
The Bandera brothers died in Auschwitz in 1942 - they were beaten to death by Polish prisoners. Eye for an eye.
Myth No. 7 Bandera's people with the same dedication waged a desperate struggle both against Hitler's fascism and against the Stalinist reactionary-repressive regime.
I will first cite the text of the comrade, who very clearly and logically juxtaposed several facts, and then I will present several facts for justification. Here and there I will repeat myself.
"The current followers of Bandera sharply reject the cooperation of Bandera with the Germans and insist on their confrontation. Even the figure of 800 Nazis killed in battles with the" UPA warriors "(in fact, the average Soviet partisan detachment had more accounts) is even flickering. veterans answer that they have no information about those who died at the hands of Bandera, as well as about these battles themselves. Some kind of theater of the absurd! It turns out that the Germans with manic idiots supply their enemies with money, equipment, weapons: more than 700 mortars, about 10 thousand easel and light machine guns, 100 thousand hand grenades, 12 million cartridges, etc. Moreover, they train foremen for the UPA at the training center in Neuhammer and others, assigning them German military ranks.
No, the Germans certainly had some clashes with Bandera. It happened that the Germans were the owners and they punished them in a disciplinary manner: they put them in camps, even shot them. What do you want? The same "Volyn massacre", when Bandera in the summer of 1943. cut out all the Polish villages of Volyn and thus disrupted the planned supply of food for the German army - a headache for the German quartermasters! The German neatmen looked askance at the bad habit of the Bandera people to fill wells with drinking water with corpses, etc."
"OUN supporters, on Bandera's orders, served in the German police, punitive battalions … For example, the same Roman Shukhevych, who was one of the ministers of the Bandera government dispersed by the Germans, continued to serve the Germans in the Nachtigall battalion, then became one of the commanders of the SS punitive battalion. Until December 1942, he earned two crosses and the rank of SS captain for successfully suppressing the partisan movement in Belarus."
"The delivery of weapons and sabotage assets from the German side across the front line for the UPA units should be carried out according to the rules of conspiracy, so as not to give the Bolsheviks any evidence regarding the Ukrainians - allies of the Germans who remained behind the front line. Therefore, the OUN asks that negotiations, an agreement go on from the center and that the partners on the part of the Germans were, if possible, the security police, since they are familiar with the rules of conspiracy."
(Source - the book "Without the right to rehabilitation", chapter R. Shukhevych, the author of the chapter Poddubny L. A.)
"The Germans handed over to the OUN-UPA 100 thousand rifles and machine guns, 10 thousand machine guns, 700 mortars, a lot of ammunition. Former Nazi leaders of the Abwehr Lahusen, Stolze, Lazarek, Paulus testified at the trial."
(Source - materials of the Nuremberg courtbog process)
Myth number 8 Bandera did not commit atrocities that they are prescribed
This is such an absurd myth that it is enough just to give some of the names: Lviv Jewish pogrom, Volyn massacre, Babi Yar. And one more example, not so well-known, but painful in that it is "everyday", "ordinary".
Written statement by Hermann Grebe, read by the American prosecutor Stari.
“On the night of July 13, 1942, all the inhabitants of the ghetto in the city of Rovno … were liquidated … Soon after 22.00, the ghetto was surrounded by a large detachment of the SS and about three times as large a detachment of the Ukrainian police. in the form in which they were caught.
People were driven out of their homes with such haste that in some cases small children were left in their beds. All night long, persecuted, beaten and wounded people moved along the lighted streets. The women carried their dead children in their arms. Some children dragged their dead parents to the train by the arms and legs …
Soon, the Ukrainian police broke into house 5 on Bangofstrasse, pulled out 7 Jews and dragged them into the ghetto, not a collection point …"
"Two features are striking in this document: firstly, the ratio of the SS and Ukrainian policemen - the bulk of the murderers were not Germans, namely," fighters for Ukraine "; secondly, the main opponents of these" fighters "were children - the witness says about them constantly."
(Source - Nuremberg trials. Collection of documents, - Vol. 2, p. 500)
Myth No. 9 The atrocities that are prescribed to Bandera were committed by NKDVs disguised as Bandera to discredit the insurrectionary movement and deprive them of popular support.
How serious the situation with the spread of this lie is is evidenced by the fact that the myth of "disguised NKVEDshniks" is enshrined in the so-called. "Professional conclusion (fakhovom vysnovok) of the working group of historians to study the activities of the OUN-UPA", published in Ukraine in a massive circulation of 120,000 copies, and centrally distributed to all libraries, secondary and higher educational institutions. On October 14, 2005, at a meeting of the Government Commission, this "Vysnovok" was approved as an official assessment of the activities of the OUN-UPA. Here in the argumentation, you can go in two ways - direct and indirect.
Direct - to understand all the intricacies of the information war. All this is analyzed in the book The Great Slandered War-2 in the article by Oleg Rossov "The myth of the disguised NKVDeshniks. Special groups of the NKVD in the fight against bandit formations in Western Ukraine." Or use the materials of the article.
Indirect - Bandera fought against the Soviet Union - a fact. They received money and weapons from the Germans - a fact. And they were not playing with toys with these weapons. They staged massacres - a fact. In order for all this to be done by the NKVD, it is necessary that the UPA did not exist at all. And there was one thing, the NKVD, which ran everything. The situation in which the disguised UPA on their part organize the massacre of the population with impunity, and the UPA, who see all this, suffer a lot and do nothing (or, better, follow them and ask not to kill anyone) is just an outrageous drug addict delirium.
Myth No. 10 The UPA was not condemned by the Nyurgber Tribunal, which is proof of their innocence in the massacres and indicates their fight against Hitlerism.
The OUN is mentioned several times in the documents, but the activities of this organization simply did not fall under the charter of the tribunal in Nuremberg. Japanese war criminals, for example, were also not tried in Nuremberg. And Croatian Ustasha.
However, it does not follow from this that they did not commit crimes (and they did not write the book "The Devil's Kitchen"). But the Bandera supporters continue to strenuously stand on this, as if this justifies everything. Probably because there is no statute of limitations for these crimes. The time of the Japanese has come (Japanese war criminals were tried later in 1946 by the Tokyo military tribunal. The charter of the Tokyo tribunal incorporated the most important provisions of the charter of the Nuremberg tribunal), and they are not far off.
Myth number 11 Final. They (Banedrovites) fought for the independence of Ukraine and the liberation of the Ukrainian people
The Banderaites were an extremely small (permanent composition of 6, 5 thousand), a well-organized, armed, trained and motivated group of militants. Who, during the occupation of Poland, could not do anything (Bandera himself, up to the capture of Poland by the Germans, was in a Polish prison for an attempt. By the way, the Germans also released him). They were able to speak seriously only when they found themselves the strongest ally in the face of Nazi Germany. They lived on their money, fired at civilians with their weapons.
The Germans handed over to the OUN-UPA 100 thousand rifles and machine guns, 10 thousand machine guns, 700 mortars, a lot of ammunition, as the former Nazi leaders of the Abwehr Lahusen, Stolze, Lazarek, Paulus testified at the trial.
(Source - materials from the Nuremberg trial)
They recruited people into their ranks by threats and lies.
To ensure a massive influx of volunteers in the UPA in 1942. Shukhevych declared official war on both the Bolsheviks and the Germans. This was confusing, and many people, wanting to fight the Germans, poured into Shukhevych's detachments, the number of which reached 100 thousand people, and in fact it turned out that despite calls to fight both against the Bolsheviks and against the Germans, the leadership of the OUN-UPA directs its main efforts to fight the red partisans and the peaceful Polish population of Volyn.
(Source - the film War Line. Shukhevych R. I. - the head of the OUN)
After a general appeal, in order to avoid massive outflows of people who joined the ranks of the OUN, who realized that they had been deceived, the OUN members set one condition for the Germans - to keep the fact of cooperation between them a secret.
Here is how the minister of the Bandera "government" "Gerasimovsky" (I. Grinokh) wrote about this to the German command:
"The delivery of weapons and sabotage assets from the German side across the front line for the UPA units should be carried out according to the rules of conspiracy, so as not to give the Bolsheviks any evidence regarding the Ukrainians - allies of the Germans who remained behind the front line. Therefore, the OUN asks that negotiations, an agreement go on from the center and that the partners on the part of the Germans were, if possible, the security police, since they are familiar with the rules of conspiracy."
(Source - the book "Without the right to rehabilitation", chapter R. Shukhevych, the author of the chapter Poddubny L. A.)
Those who tried to resist were beaten and killed. Those who performed their duties with insufficient zeal were killed, along with the whole family.
In 1943, an order was given to "liquidate" the deserters from the UPA and beat draft evaders with ramrods.
This is the struggle of a group of terrorists for power, not for the independence of Ukraine. These are attempts to force civilians to recognize their influence by threats, weapons and massacres. They were remembered as the murderers of their own countrymen.
Bandera, of course, chose other words to justify:
"The OUN, with a number of about 20 thousand members, had a great influence on the Ukrainian population" (with arms in hand and with the support of the Nazis - author's note).
(Source article "STEPAN BANDERA", author: Victor MARCHENKO 1997)
The number of those killed on the territory of Ukraine during the Second World War by the Nazis (including Bandera):
- In Crimea, civilians were loaded onto barges, taken out to sea and sunk. In this way, over 144,000 people were killed.
- In Babi Yar, near Kiev, they shot over 100,000 men, women, children and the elderly. In this city in January 1942, after an explosion at the German headquarters on Dzerzhinskaya Street, the Germans arrested 1,250 elderly people, minors, women with babies as hostages. In Kiev, they killed over 195,000 people..
- In Rivne and in the Rivne region, they killed and tortured over 100,000 civilians.
“In Dnepropetrovsk, near the Transport Institute, they shot and threw 11,000 women, old people and children alive into a huge ravine.
- In the Kamenets-Podolsk region, 31,000 Jews were killed and exterminated, including 13,000 people brought from Hungary.
- In the Odessa region, at least 200,000 Soviet citizens were killed.
- In Kharkov, about 195,000 people were tortured, shot or strangled in gas chambers.
- In Gomel, the Germans gathered local residents into a prison, tortured them, and then brought them to the city center and publicly shot them.
(Source - materials from the Nuremberg trial)
Aren't there too many “dissenters” and those “on whom they had a great influence” killed? …
And good. We decided to suddenly forget that Bandera's people were killing their fellow countrymen. If they fought for the idea, would they not team up with everyone who supports this idea? But no - as early as 1940, the OUN split into two organizations, OUN-B (Bandera) and OUN-m (Melnikovites).
But Bandera's supporters, of course, formulate it differently: “There were internal conflicts in the organization: between young inexperienced, impatient and more experienced and sensible, who had gone through the war and revolution, between the leadership of the OUN, living in comfortable conditions of emigration, and the bulk of the members OUN, working under the conditions of underground and police persecution."
(Source "STEPAN BANDERA", author: Victor MARCHENKO 1997.
Bandera "tried their hand" on OUN-Melnikovites. Then, in a few months of 1940, the security service eliminated about 400 of its political opponents.
Then they will hunt for the whole war and knock on each other in the Gestapo.
Disagreements between the participants? Come on. Are 400 corpses just a disagreement? Think about it - these are not losses for the entire period of the Second World War. These are the results of the work of several (!) Months during the time when the war had not yet begun. This is how they treated "like-minded people." Or maybe it was something else, maybe it was a struggle for power and political influence? For who will manage the German money? Maybe this is inevitable when you deceive people by saying that you are fighting for freedom and independence, but in reality everything turned out to be not quite so? This is pure politics. Otherwise, they would not have arranged a showdown among themselves, as they do with political competitors. This is done when they are striving for power, and not when they are saving the people. But that's not all. In relations between the Bandera themselves, not everything was smooth either.
In 1943, the edge wire assigned the following tasks to the Security Council:
• "liquidate" deserters from the UPA and beat draft evaders with ramrods;
• continue to "control" the loyalty of the OUN members themselves.
In the summer of 1945, Bandera issued his famous three-time secret decree, which, in particular, spoke of the need immediately and most secretly … the aforementioned elements of the OUN and UPA (those who may surrender to the authorities) to liquidate in two ways: a) send large and insignificant UPA detachments to fight the Bolsheviks and create situations so that they would be destroyed by the Soviets at their posts and “ambushes” (“The Earth Accuses”, p. 150). The rest had to be dealt with by the security service.
Now let's put these facts together.
They kill their compatriots and call it the liberation of the people.
They kill their like-minded people who have chosen a different leader, and they call it the struggle for the country's independence.
They kill and betray each other and this is called unity and brotherhood.
I can tell you what it is called. All this is called in one word - betrayal.
Betrayal of the People.
Betrayal of the Motherland.
Betrayal of the Idea.
A TRAITOR is worse than an ENEMY. The enemy has principles. The traitor does not have them. The enemy has values, the traitor has only value - his own skin.
The historian Boris Yulin wrote about this very lucidly. Further quote:
“What is the act of betrayal? It consists in the fact that the citizen of the country deliberately goes to the service of the enemies of the country. Usually this is a transition to the side of the enemy in the course of hostilities.
Since there is always a moral monster who will consider such an act reasonable, then always and in all countries a punishment for betrayal has been provided. And this is correct, because we are talking about the survival of the country and the people. The destruction of traitors is like amputation with gangrene or the removal of worms. There is no time for humanism.
The act of betrayal is associated precisely with the conscientiousness of the action. That is, a person understands what he is doing.
A small nuance - there is no excuse for betrayal. Only the same freaks as the traitor himself are trying to find him. For example, the traitor is credited with fighting the regime."
For us, betrayal is also an act that is not forgiven. There is no statute of limitations for him, and we will remember this when we go to the information barricades.
And we will remember if we happen to meet at the real ones.
