UPA's actions ended with military, political and moral defeat. The Banderov leaders did not implement any of their plans—except for the demolition of the country, the "burned land", which they left behind and the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people. Mikołaj Lebed, Petro Mirczuk, Łew Szkowskyj and Łonhin Łotoćkyj described the alleged struggles with the Nazi occupier, attributed UPA many successes that were attended by the AK and russian guerrillas. The same is done by “history” and another “songs of glory” UPA, writing for ordering a false story. Lonhin Łotoćkyj is the author of "Istoriji U Krajina for ditej". The children learned that on the day of the UPA was established, i.e. on 14 October 1943, there were already 150 1000 "striłciw" (shooters) in the forest, and half a year later there were already 400 1000 uppers. Lying, lying, lying. That's the kind of bluff a average individual would not dare to bluff, and the genocidal strikers would. In fact, UPA did not exceed 40,000 people.
UPA directed its forces in a deliberate and planned manner at the slaughter and robbery of innocent border population. erstwhile she started killing her own, she was already cutting the branch she was sitting on. The dark Ukrainian peasant did not respect the sanctity of the church and was certain that the killing and robbing of Lachów had orders from the uppers and the Germans. Besides, Hitler was the top authority, bigger than the Metropolitan of Szeptycki.
The elimination of all moral brakes under Ukrainian fascism must have caused a triple UPA defeat.
UPA suffered a military defeat due to the fact that its human substance was destroyed-died or captured. The losses suffered did not yield any results, but for the demolition of the country and the piles of corpses.
UPA suffered a political defeat. In the name of what political ideals were the Ukrainian dark peasant mass pushed to execution Poles, in the name of what purposes were they wanted to fight "historical enemies" – Moscals, Poles, Romanians, Hungarian Jews? What was the goal of specified a fight? Is it “a large Ukrainian empire” of sick imagination?
UPA suffered a moral defeat. She dishonored the Ukrainian people in the same way as Nazi disgraced the German people, and Stalinism - Russian. The stereotype of Ukrainian-refluent will long repent in human minds, though past counterfeiters do everything to whiten this rezuna. That's not gonna help. The image of the Ukrainian – “bandiuk” with an axe in 1 hand, a weapon in the other, a knife in the teeth and a Polish scalp in the belt, will last centuries in memory of Poles. In addition, the Germans officially refrained from their Nazi past, do not place monuments to Hitler, do not name streets after him, do not place his image on their products. Whereas Bander's Ukraine, which is unnecessary to us, reaches its Nazi goals step by step. He seeks a historical identity in flagism only to weaken Poland and Russia. Where is the real elite in Ukraine? It was! Banderism spreads across the country and is perfectly utilized as a tool to discipline the population and indoctrinate the young generation of Ukrainians. Ukrainian nationalism is suicide for the Ukrainian people. The thing is, before his dreams of the large Ukraine go out, there may be another Volyn.
Banderowska Ukraine cultivates a image of its shame. “ Everything was unnecessary and now only shame remained and shame. You'll go to England or Germany or even Russia. Who? - They will ask - “Ukrainian”, and they will immediately: rezun, flag, bulba. A man blushes for his sins. (‘West Courier’ 26 VI-2VII 1992). The nation cannot be held liable for the actions of its deviant sons, but do they all understand? Especially those who for the remainder of their lives had a image of blood and fire? UPA with all the consequence and to the end put into effect the slogan “Who is not Ukrainian on Ukrainian soil, this death.” Even the Nazis and Bolsheviks did not dare to preach specified open genocidal plans.
Ukraine as well as Poland suffered immense losses, and Ukrainian fascists besides contributed to the end of their allegiance to Hitler. OUN-UPA's legacy concerns Poland, but the Ukrainian state received it in decline, and if Ukraine does not want to share work for what it did not commit, the reason for the state is to separate the perpetrators from the nation, reject fascist emblems and halt manipulating history.
The Ukrainian nationalist political thought formulated in the 1920s and 1930s did not change. “Our ideology is based on D. Doncov’s works,” said organization leader Oleg Tiahnibok on 26 January 2011. On 13 January 2011, Lvov City Council Council Councillor Yuri Michalczyszyn stated: “Our flag army will cross the Dniepr River, pass Donbas, drive out a bunch of blues from Ukraine.”
Nothing's changed till today. In Western Ukraine liable for crimes against humanity, it is called heroes and builds them pantheons. There are parties that proceed the traditions of the CNS-UPA and the SS division – “Galizien”. Anti-Polish Ukrainian nationalism has not undergone any ideological or programming transformation. Only the tactics of action have changed. The Polish authorities do not respond to disturbing behaviour, demonstrated by the West-Ukrainian activists and politicians.
The Presidents of Poland and Ukraine, on the occasion of the anniversary meetings, made reconciliation, declared the request for a common search for historical truth, expressed the conviction that common forgiveness would be a step towards full reconciliation of nations active in drama. They recalled, of course, that actual reconciliation took place during the Orange Revolution in Kiev, that in the words of prayer they forgave murderers and closed the painful, in their convictions, the charter of history. This charter is well played, the work for crimes of the CNS-UPA has been placed on Poles and innocent Ukrainian people. The reconciliation on the foundation of phrases could not translate into the level of society. It is not true, as you wrote in the Czech Republic, that "through the efforts of politicians, the Church, the intellectuals we were able to break the historical events." We did not break, nor was there a vicious ellipse of animosity, so public opinion cannot be misled.
A image of a bare dismembered ax and a woman's saw. This photograph and its prints were circulated in the Lviv Voivodeship and Lviv itself in 1943 informing Poles about UkrainiansUkrainian historian Vitali Masłówskiy claimed that the alleged Ukrainian Povs dancing Army was neither “Ukrainian” nor “an insurgent and “an army”. It was not Ukrainian due to the fact that its members were a fraction of 1 percent of the full Ukrainian nation, they were its margin and outcast. She was not an insurgent either, for her members were openly cooperating with Germany in carrying out their interests and were armed and trained by them. It was not an army due to the fact that it consisted of “resolutions”, who cruelly murdered the Polish population. They were gangs that didn't have any frontal section. They were supported by the Nazis in the fight against Soviet-Ukrainian and Polish guerrilla troops and supporting their defenceless civilian population. UPA was a German tool.
It was just a past flaw. The Ukrainian State which was created in 1991 as a consequence of the dissolution of the russian Union is the legal successor of the USRR. Ukrainians surviving east of the Zbrucz River (the erstwhile Polish-Soviet border) are the vast majority of the Ukrainian people and have no anti-Polish complexes or prejudices towards Poles, Russians or another cultural groups. OUN-UPA members and their worshippers mention to as fascists engulfed in Galician “Ukrainian psychosis”. Western Ukraine is represented by “red-black” (colour of banner approved by Stepan Bandera at the Convention in April 1940) OUN devotees and its armed structures liable for the crimes of genocide and for armed collaboration with the 3rd German Reich. So we have 2 Ukraines, the inhabitants of both parts have different traditions, historical memory, national structure, they talk different languages and are divided religiously. In this state of affairs it has come easy for external forces to incite anti-Russian sentiments and to disrupt society.
