Proofs of continuity for crimes against Humanity in Donbass

The proofs listed show the group, continuity, and the will to support the mass murder going on in Donbass today. It also shows that Bandera's OUNb not only wanted to take leadership control of the US and finally world emigre Ukrainian leadership,but that they were given a green light to do so with little thought into the implications. The proofs show the original statements as well as results. They also detail much of why what should be a tiny minority population is dictating to National governments that war with Russia is the only course to pursue. Follow enough of the linked documents and you will have a clear picture as to why the US government listens to them.

Bandera was determined to assert control over the emigre community. In February 1946 he formed the Foreign Section OUN (ZCh/ OUN), an exile branch of the Bandera group, in which he maintained "a firm line on all questions, political education, ideological and political unity, and discipline of the membership." Bandera intended to create a dictatorship in exile, which he would then transfer to a liberated Ukraine...Banderists represented themselves as fighting a "heroic Ukrainian resistance against the Nazis and the Communists" which had been "misrepresented and maligned" by "Moscow propaganda." Bandera, they never tired of saying, had been arrested by the Nazis and held in Sachsenhausen. Now he and his movement fought "not only for the Ukraine, but also for all of Europe." - Hitlers Shadow Richard Breitman, Norman J.W. Goda

In 1980 the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA)was taken over by the OUN(B) and thus ceased to represent the Ukrainian community as a whole. -The Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine

The interesting thing about the encyclopedia is that it was edited by the only Waffen SS Galician officer to hold a Chancellor position at a major university. The Waffen SS Galizien was formed because of Stepan Bandera.

  • The case of one of the more high-pro??????le veterans, University of Alberta chancellor Peter Savaryn is illustrative. Carefully using euphemistic terms, the pro-nationalist Ukrainian press in Canada presented Savaryn's background as a merit. In his Ukrainian-language memoirs, Savaryn expresses pride in his SS past--which was unknown to most of his colleagues at the University of Alberta, and omitted from his biography in the English-language Encyclopedia . Pers Anders Rudling They Defended Ukraine': The 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Galizische Nr. 1) Revisited," The Journal of Slavic Military Studies, 25:3 (2012): 329-368

  • As one of his final acts in office, Yushchenko officially designated Stepan Bandera as a Hero of Ukraine, in a polarizing and much-criticized move. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress, of which both OUN wings and veteran organizations of the UPA and the Waffen SS Galizien are members, enthusiastically endorsed Yushchenko's decree and called "upon the Government of Canada to make changes to Canada's War Veterans Allowance Act by expanding eligibility to include designated resistance groups such as OUN-UPA.

  • The end of state support for the OUN and UPA cult outraged nationalist believers in the diaspora. Representatives of the OUN(b)-controlled Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) refused to meet with President Yanukovych and staged noisy protests during his visit to the United Nations in New York in September 2010. - ibid- link

  • On Rememberance Day, a day which in Canada traditionally emphasizes the role of military men in the fight against fascism, the UCC salutes the OUN, the UPA, and the Ukrainian veterans of Waffen-SS Galizien.-ibid

  • The Ukrainian, for historical reasons, is a political animal and a compulsive organizer with very definite and vocal political views. His arch enemy is, as it has been for centuries, Russia, whether Tsarist or Soviet. The Ukrainian emigration is nationalistic and distinctive because it has traditionally maintained close contact with the homeland. The post-war Ukrainian emigration represented a government in exile whose aim was to liberate the Ukraine from Russian domination and establish an independent Ukrainian state.

  • At the beginning of the 1970's the Ukrainian political spectrum has many features of the prewar Ukrainian political groupings. The decisive political role is played by three factions of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists): . OUN/B (Bandera), OUN/M (Melnyk) and OUNz (za kordonom - abroad). The first one is the largest but has few followers with an intellectual background ...The OUN/Bandera organization is a large, amorphous group with very few intellectual adherents. Link ibid

  • The International of Liberty(non-fascist Ukrainian freedom group) opposed the OUN/B controlled- ABN under Bandera, who was considered a criminal by them. Madison, Wilson, and East Central European Federalism: A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the Ph.D, in the Department of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences 2006 by Jonathan H. Levy.

  • The problem with the ABN, according to CIC (US Army Intelligence), was that it was a tool of the Bandera faction of OUN. An April 1946 extract by CIC found OUN/B or "the Bandera gang" to be nationalistic, anti-Soviet and anti-American as well as anti-Semitic and involved with criminal activity and espionage...ibid

  • The ABN's program sought not just to end Soviet domination in east central Europe but also to shatter the Russian Federation into dozens of mini-states based on extreme national self-determination. ibid

  • According to the ABN founder, Yaroslav Stetsko, that was the exact purpose of the organization: A united front against Soviet imperialism would cause the system to collapse from within because the non-Russian ethnic population behind the Iron Curtain outnumbers the Russian 2 to 1. The ABN became the darling of the cold warriors with numerous spin off organizations formed over the years and its questionable personalities given full access to Radio Liberty and other propaganda venues. Radio Liberty itself was sharply criticized as a mouthpiece for anti-Semitism and glorification of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators. ibid
