From the editorial office: We remind you of an extraordinary paper from 20 years ago. An Open Letter by Viktor Poliszczuk (1925-2008) to the then head of the BBN on the OUN-UPA crimes on Poles and Ukrainians.
Poliszczuk was a Ukrainian, hated by UPA gravesmen, due to the fact that on the basis of a immense and insightful archival query he exposed the criminal face of the CNS. He collaborated with Polish border organizations due to the fact that he felt that condemning the CNS was a common interest of both nations. In retrospect, we can see how far distant we are after 20 years of fulfilling his demands. Moreover, neo-Bander Ukraine silenced all voices of people with views specified as Wiktor Poliszczuk. specified people had already died, any had to flee Ukraine, and others just got killed. All the more reason to remind them of their voice in defence of the fact and honour of the Ukrainian people. Below is the text of the 2003 Open Letter by Viktor Poliszczuk:
OPEN LETTER to Minister Marek Siwiec Head of the National safety Office on celebration of 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacre
Sir!
First of all, I want to say that my intention is not to insult you or the president of the Republic, but on a substance as serious as celebrating the memory of more than 100,000 murdered by the structures of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists of the Bandera faction of the Polish population and respective tens of thousands murdered by the OUN Bandera of the Ukrainians, I cannot stay silent, I cannot not call things by name.
Neither you nor the president of Poland understood mine, placed in mine, delivered to the President's Chancellery, works, motto: There are no criminal nations, there are criminal ideologies and organizations. The misunderstanding of this motto and the rejection of evidence presented by me of the guilt of the OUN Bandera genocide justifies the claim of enslavement of the minds of Polish political elites, and not only political ones. What happens in Poland and Ukraine around the noble intention of the president of Poland to celebrate on the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacres, can only be called a large misunderstanding, or even defile the memory of the murdered.
The justification for the above-mentioned swindle will service me, conducted with you by the writer “Gazeta Wyborcza” and published in it on 8-9 March 2003, interview and accompanying case of speech.
I am forced to say that the presidential thought of “Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation” itself, accompanying its proposals in the form of “repentance”, “letting go”, even cayana, is fundamentally wrong, due to the fact that between Poland and Ukraine, there is no conflict between the Polish and Ukrainian people, small of it: there was no conflict besides in 1943. There is only one, very narrow problem, which in historical memory caused a large percent of the Polish nation to heal. This problem is done by the fascist type, terrorist organization – Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, the faction of Bandera, doctrinal, planned, conducted in a manner of cruel mass execution on innocent, defenseless Polish population).
It is incorrect to narrow the problem to Volyn alone, for, although execution there started, it did not end in Volyn. In my opinion, it should be said clearly and emphatically that the "Volyński murder" means a thought abbreviation akin to that of the "Kodyński murder". I have the right to presume that you are aware that the interviewer Paweł Smolenski is simply a sophisticated defender of Ukrainian nationalism, Consider the above as an introduction to my consideration.
Intelligence comments
In no way can you agree that do not balance your blood. To this day, the Jews are making a blood balance, and they cannot be charged. possibly you are afraid that the “blood balance” can overburden the Polish side? If so, you are wrong: the Polish side has no reason to be afraid about this. specified concern can only be a consequence of ignorance about the actual state of affairs, which I will proceed to say.
In matters as crucial as mass execution on innocent people, all word spoken has its weight. Paweł Smolenski asks, “How do you imagine celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Volyn events?” The word "events" in this context speaks for itself. For Paul Smolenski, it was a "event", not mass execution on a susceptible population, not genocide, simply "events." Paweł Smoleński in this respect is simply a tube of the editor of Adam Michnik's “Gazeta Wyborcza”, about the influence of which I do not gotta talk about Polish politics.
In response, you talk about “the political context today” and “the discovery of the truth”, that is, the political request and the function of historians, that is, science. I don't think you're going to deny that discipline should affect politics, but not the another way around, due to the fact that discipline that is influenced by politics and that works for it by discipline is no longer a political prostitute. About science, naturally about Polish science, I will talk a small further, and it will not be her praise, due to the fact that as a consequence of her indolence you spoke the court to which you insulted me. You said: “The massacre in Volyn is specified a minute in the past of Ukrainians (not of Ukraine, for there was no specified state at the time), which, to say the most delicately, brings them no glory.” This is in brackets – besides your words. A small further, you say: “The Ukrainians murdered respective tens of thousands of Poles, this is simply a fact that no 1 will argue with.” That's what the president of Poland says. I will not only argue with this claim, but I powerfully argue this claim, which I expressed in my book, published in 1997, “They died at the hands of Ukrainians?” (with a question mark!). These statements by the Lord and the president of Poland confirm my allegation that you did not realize the motto: There are no criminal nations, there are criminal ideologies and organizations. You do not remember (you are at the age of my son), but you should know that after the war in Poland, “the Commission for the survey of German Crimes” was created, until there was a wise man who led to a change of name to “the Commission for the Investigation of Hitler's Crimes”, for No 1 has the right to charge the full nation for the crimes of 1 structure..
The European civilization has taken over the principles of Roman law, according to which the suspect, and thus more circumstantial perpetrator, must be identified as closely as possible. Minister, following the Ukrainian line of nationalist propaganda, you identify the perpetrator of the Volyn massacres (and not only by name) with the Ukrainian people, and this is no longer a mistake, it is something bigger, and what – you can guess. I will inform you that no russian or German paper concerning the Volyn massacres calls its perpetrators “Ukrainians”, always speaks specifically about the OUN Bandera. I, Ukrainian, feel neither my responsibility nor the responsibility of the Ukrainian people for the mass execution committed on the Polish people, due to the fact that I know his perpetrator and condemn him, I agree only that the perpetrator of the mass murder, in this case the OUN Bandera, did not bring praise to the Ukrainian nation, as the glory of the household does not bring her birth. Even in the family, it may turn out to be a failure, but that does not mean that the household as a full is an embryo. More specifically on this – go on.
Therefore, fact Volyn massacres cannot be denied, it is propaganda of Ukrainian nationalism, with the effective assistance of Polish political and technological elites, decompose Blaming them on the full Ukrainian nation, which is an effort of dishonest, clearly immoral, condemnable. I will tell you that even in the Ukrainian nationalist provenience, the Toronto tv program (15.03.03) was quoted as the opinion of the Ukrainian historian, who said clearly: "On Volyn the structure of the OUN Bandera committed mass execution on the Polish population". Lists of Polish victims of the CNS-UPA developed by W. and E. Heyszeków pushed weapons out of the hands of Ukrainian nationalists. Ukrainian nationalist historians cannot usage akin lists of Ukrainian victims.
Besides, your reasoning is lacking in logic: what does it mean: “Ukrainians (not Ukraine, for there was no specified country at the time)”? In brackets – besides your words. Minister, this, according to you, at the time of the dissection Poland Neither was it due to the fact that there was no Polish state? Poland at the time of the partitions was, Ukraine at the time of the Volyn massacres was, although even the Ukrainian state under global law was, it was, as well as the Polish state, in the position quo ante bellum. This, entirely dependent on Moscow, the Ukrainian state (or even independent states?), after the war became a founding associate of the United Nations. Historical events, Minister, cannot be seen through the glasses of current politics. Besides, global law must be respected.
You are wrong, by tying the Volyn murders to the undemocratic politics of the Second Republic towards national minorities, this policy was just as undemocratic towards the Ukrainians as well as against the Belarusians, and yet there were no mass murders on the Polish population in Belarus, so the origin should be sought elsewhere. You proceed to say that “there must be a will to know the truth. We request to find out who, in what way and if he's always ordered this crime. To the degree that the Volyn events were the bottom-up, spontaneous action of local structures of the Organizations of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgency Army, and to the degree they were included in Ukrainian leaders' strategies towards the Polish population.” After that statement, I must say that I do not see your attitude. The will to know the truth, for if you had it, you would have learned about the Volyn massacres from my, delivered to the President's Chancellery, the works: "Evidence of CNS and UPA crimes’ and 2 parts of the work ‘Ukrainian nationalism in documents’. If, according to you, I am unbelievable, then you should have caused a technological controversy with my toos, caused a confrontation in the archives of papers published by me, the signatures of which I give. However, you like to follow the way of Ukrainian nationalist propaganda, its Polish (with technological titles) supporters, due to the fact that what you said above is simply a repetition of the fresh moves of Ukrainian nationalist sociotechnology, spread in Poland by the investigator INP, Grzegorz Motyka, who until late did not really know about the existence of publication III. OUN Bandery conference of February 1943, which, citing the leading OUN Bandery activist, burdenes the Polish side with the crime of mass execution on the Czech population in Malina; who prefers to believe this activist and does not believe Czech papers and Czech witnesses. You forget that a monument was erected in Volyn Clanchoid Dmitry. You are talking about “Ukrainian leaders” from the time of killing the Polish people, so I should say to you: during this time there were no “Ukrainian leaders” and if that is what you think Stepan Bandera is, then you offend the Ukrainian people, including Ukrainian-volynians.
And besides due to the fact that you have doubts about the existence of the order to execution Poles: there is no paper about Hitler's order to execution Jews. As for the order of the CNS Bandera on the extermination of the Polish population, it is not excluded that specified a paper will be found, it is not yet disclosed by additional resolution III. OUN Bandery conference on the creation of armed forces and their tasks.
The simple ignorance of archival papers is evidenced by your message about the function of the Germans in the area of CNS-UPA crimes. This function is known very carefully, and it is not only from documents, but from simple logic: all occupier wants to keep peace in the occupied territory, not in chaos.
You are absolutely right in 1 place erstwhile you say that “we (Poles) were not the ones who murdered”, but that right tries to undermine Paul Smolenski, and the Lord could not evaporate his attack. I accuse you of absolutely inappropriate mention to Jedwabne, you went along the line pushed by the Ukrainian Union in Poland (“Our Word”). The mistake is that a case of incident, individual, and so unusual, serves you to generalize what neither historian nor politician can do. Besides: while the Jedwabne execution was provoked by the Germans or was a spontaneous action, this cannot be said of the Volyn massacres: mass murders on the Polish population were doctrinal, planned, systematic. But Paweł Smolenski would like to “compensate” Silk with Volyn killings, for which he makes a clear hint. P. Smoleński's goal was to call the slogan "Galicia's robbery of Jakub Shela". Minister, I have the right to anticipate that you are aware that James Shela's "robbery" was purely classy, not national, so it has no mention to the Volyn massacres that killed people according to their national affiliation, and the Ukrainians – due to the fact that they disagreed with the fascist ideology of the CNS, with murders on innocent people. And even ugly, immoral, worthy of condemnation – was the consequence of this P. Smolenski: “The peasant war is always highly cruel.” There was no war, it was just killing an unarmed population. The cruelty of the methods of the OUN Bandera structures did not have its origin in peasant character, it is essential to learn about motor forces resulting from the ideology of Ukrainian nationalism, in order to know what the origin of this cruelty was, the organizers of the Volyn massacres were not peasants, they were educated in Polish halicha schools, Ukrainian nationalist intelligence, in the “provode” of the OUN was besides doctor of Greek Catholic theology priest Ivan Hrynioch.
You are completely mistaken to say that "Ukraine has difficulty judging Volyn events (you have already accepted an inadequate naming from Mr Smolensaki in the course of the interview!) due to the fact that the level of cognition on this subject is alternatively low there – in Western Ukraine higher, insignificant in the East". This is evidently not true: the Ukrainians' level of cognition about the CNS-UPA crime is advanced in both the East and West Ukraine. And if you mean the cognition of historians, you are besides incorrect essentially: Ukrainian nationalist historians have many levels of higher knowledge, than Polish historians dealing with the subject, they usage the ignorance of Polish historians, they form false assessments about these crimes.
Viktor Liszczuk
You repeat the unjustified OUN claims that "to Western Ukraine, the OUN and the UPA were organizations that ... fought for national liberation". You are further referring to the fact that the UPA participants were "resurrectioners", which "is hard to condemn". My God, how small is the Lord (and not only the Lord) to know the realities of Volyn and Halicia A.D. 1943-1944. I am outraged erstwhile you talk of UPA participants as “warners of independence, that is, national heroes (who) participated in the execution of innocents”. At the end of this letter, in a fewer sentences, I will tell you what happened and why in Volyn 1943 and after.
Paweł Smoleński, a public defender of the criminal CNS Bandery, in his question suggests that “OUN and UPA cooperated with Germany ... but until a certain point and under strict conditions.” Your interlocutor is lying erstwhile he says that CNS-UPA has worked with Germany “under strict conditions”, Germany has never granted any political concessions to OUN Bandera. Furthermore, P. Smolenski as if he had forgotten that the OUN Bandery had only a six-month break in cooperation with Germany: from spring to December 1943, and then, until the end of the war, the OUN-UPA was again at the services of Germany, which is clear from archival documents.
P. Smolenski's allegation regarding the conduct of parallels between the Volyn Ukrainian police in the service of Germany and the Polish police in the service of Germany is besides missed: the first was subordinate to the OUN Bandery and on its orders (not due to spontaneous desertion) passed to the organized UPA, while the Polish police were created against the ban of the Underground Poland as a reaction to the OUN-UPA actions. P. Smolenski's parallel is unacceptable. The same Paul Smolenski reiterates the fact that the russian (Soviet partisan) claiming to be Polish partisans attacked Ukrainian villages, threw in Gestapo compromising Ukrainian police materials which was “one of the reasons for Volyn pacification”. The lord of this absurd claim of Ukrainian nationalist propaganda did not evaporate due to the fact that you have no reliable cognition of the Volyn murders. There is no evidence of alleged russian provocation against the Polish population, but there is simply a immense amount of evidence to support the thesis that the CNS-UPA structures in many cases operated under the mask of russian guerrillas (since 1944 – Red Army soldiers).
Paul Smoleński goes on to say: “I do not put an equal sign between 60, or possibly even 100,000 Polish victims and respective 1000 Ukrainians murdered there. I just want to say that these Ukrainians did not kill themselves ... so we have blood on our hands, we are not given “comfort” of being just a victim.” In this claim Mr Smolenski again utilized an isolated, casual case, resulting in generalization on the basis of it. That's what: she went and repented so far in Polish discipline and in Polish press, in Poland and in the West, a fama about respective 1000 Ukrainian victims who died at the hands of Polish.
Therefore, I propose to you, Minister: delight organize a confrontation with me (not Paweł Smolenski, due to the fact that I do not talk to propaganda) these historians – Polish and/or Ukrainian nationalist, in order to present by them a list of Ukrainian victims who fell at the hands of Polish. Here I will tell you something that no of the Polish historians know so far (but Ukrainian nationalistic historians know it): it is not about “a fewer 1000 Ukrainian victims”, it is about much more!!! At a conference in Wrocław in July 1998, I gave a paper entitled "Ukrainian OUN-UPA Victims", in which the number of Ukrainian victims of these structures was estimated at about 30,000. The investigator is simply a bad investigator erstwhile he stops searching. In my further search, I found papers that show that it is possible to establish that possibly as many Ukrainian people as the Polish population fell from the hands of the structures of the CNS Bandera. To specified a confrontation I am ready to bring the lists (names, towns, dates, age of the victims, circumstances of the murders, perpetrators of the murders) of Ukrainian victims of the OUN Bandera. I look forward to a akin list of Ukrainian victims who died at the hands of Polish. discipline must not be limited to unspeakable claims. Archive papers and literature supply proof that Ukrainian victims, who died at the hands of Polish, are no more than 1% (one percent) of Polish victims of CNS-UPA. So you gotta do a blood balance.to not burden Ukrainian people The crime of genocide should be attributed to a specific, long-known perpetrator.
Polish discipline in the context of Volyn massacres
I have a deep respect for Polish discipline as a whole: the University of Wrocław gave me a doctorate in humanities, the University of Silesia gave me a degree in habilitated humanities, the Central Qualification Commission approved this degree. But I cannot talk with appreciation of Polish, dealing with the problem of Ukrainian nationalism, historians. And even though many of them developed, delivered and published valuable papers and scholarly papers during and outside seminars of Polish and Ukrainian nationalist historians. However, I have a claim against Polish participants of these seminars, which is below.
In Poland, there is no much needed Institute for investigation of Ukrainian Nationalism, so the function of the leading individuals was assumed unofficially: Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Military Historical Institute and the current Public Education Division of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It was up to them, especially the WIH, to be decently scientifically targeted and to find the subjects of investigation in the 10 seminars. Especially due to 2 people – manager of WIH Prof. Andrzej Ajnenkel and Prof. Władysław Filar, in the course of 10 seminars, what in the Ukrainian idiom is referred to as ‘water in stupi’ (flushing from empty to empty), was ‘balancing the open gate’.
True The OUN structures of the Bandera of mass murders on the Polish population of Volyn and Halicia have known since 1943, it has been confirmed by a number of scientific, publicist, mentioned publications. The only consequence of these 10 seminars was confirmation of this fact. For 10 seminars and costs, it is not enough. Why? For prof. A. Ajnenkiel, who undertook to lead technological seminaries, does not have the function of appropriate preparation, I do not know what field of discipline he deals with, but erstwhile it comes to Ukrainian nationalism, and therefore, above all, the Volyn massacres, he does not have the simple cognition in this regard, the same applies to prof. W. Filar, who for many years in WIH was a lecturer in military tactics, not a historian, so he does not know the historian's workshop.
The manager of ISP PAN, Prof. Tomasz Strzembosz, who specializes in the Warsaw Uprising, without having simple cognition of Ukrainian nationalism, directed his PhD students so that they cannot separate crucial from informal ones, based on individual, different facts, they execute generalizations. specified were his disciples Grzegorz Motyka, for which the Ukrainian nationalist activist, organizer of attacks on troops of the Polish Army in September 1939, associate of the CNS-UPA, is the top authority, A bullpenand Tomasz Stryjekwho directed his technological effort to whiten the creator of the genocide ideology of Ukrainian nationalism – Dmitry Doncov.
The technological Section of the IPN based its technological activity in investigation on Ukrainian nationalism on G. Motyka and T. Stryjek.
The consequence of this was, and is still:
1) Skipping, even avoiding the most crucial elements of the concept of "integral Ukrainian nationalism": (a) the ideology of Ukrainian nationalism; (b) the political programs of the Organizations of Ukrainian Nationalists.
Apart from the doubt, the CNS was an ideological-political organization. Without an analysis of the ideology and political programs of this organization, it is impossible to establish that it was a fascist-type formation. In 1997, at a technological conference in PAU in Krakow, I formulated the concept of integral Ukrainian nationalism, on the basis of which an nonsubjective investigator must conclude that Ukrainian nationalism in an organized form of the CNS is qualitatively different from Polish or another European nationalism. 1 historian from the U.J. (Prof. B. Grott) explored the essence of the ideology of Ukrainian nationalism, and the another (Dr. Z. Palski) erstwhile he gave a paper on this subject, Ukrainian nationalist historians immediately requested designation of the study as not being. Does that mean anything to you, Minister? Without examining the OUN's strategical and political objectives contained in resolutions, it is impossible to realize the activities of the OUN-UPA-SB in Volyn 1943, without examining these papers Polish historians do not know the burden of the Volynian notions of "Ukrainian ethnographic territories". prof. A. Ajnenkiel is liable for not including this subject in the 10 seminars, for failing to analyse these elements of Ukrainian nationalism is the work of the ISP of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Pion of Public Education.
2. Uncritical acceptance of Ukrainian nationalists' view of UPA structure.
Such an unacceptable, carefree attitude of Polish discipline dealing with Ukrainian nationalism, I discredit it. Polish historians accepted uncritically that the Ukrainian Pows dancing Army (UPA) was a volunteer structure, struggling voluntarily to make a Ukrainian state. Meanwhile, in the UPA, as can be seen clearly from the papers of the OUN Bandera, only from Halicia, the executive staff was of a voluntary nature (the Ukrainian police and erstwhile soldiers, sub-commissioners and officers of the battalions ‘Nachtigall’ and ‘Roland’), while the basic composition of the UPA came with panic mobilized to her Ukrainian peasants. Terror-mobilised armed structure cannot be treated as national-free. In addition, Polish historians who deal with the problem are incapable to realize that the pursuit of fascist formation to establish a national state does not mean national liberation. The same applies to the Bolshevik Formation: J. Marchlewski besides sought to build a Polish state, but his aspirations did not match the intentions of the Polish people. And you, Minister, miss the Polish historians mistakenly presume that the OUN-UPA was a national liberation formation of the Ukrainian nation, which the Lord offends this nation. I repeat: at the hands of the structure of the OUN Bandera in the form of the "Bezpeky Service" only in the Equatorial Oblast died martyrdom respective tens of thousands known by the surname of Ukrainians. Not by chance Ukrainian nationalist historians did not show respect for Ukrainian victims who died at the hands of Polish, due to the fact that comparing specified a list with Ukrainian victims of OUN Bandera, specified a list would show no more than 1% (one percent) of Ukrainian victims of OUN Bandera.
3) not noticing the existence and operation of the alleged "Bezpeky Service" OUN Bandery.
The examination of the Volyn massacres without cognition of the existence and operation of the "Bezpeky Service" OUN Bandery overturns the objectivity of the research, the same as considering the problem of victims of Bolshevikism with the omission of the existence and actions of Chek, GPU, NKVD, KGB; as considering the problem of the victims of Nazism without taking into account the existence and actions of SS, SD, Gestapo.
4) Complete disregard of the problem of Ukrainian victims of CNS-UPA-SB.
On this subject, I will say only 1 sentence: Polish historians do not let thoughts about specified victims at all, and they were, and I will repeat it, possibly as many as Polish victims, only that at the hands of the “Słuby Bezpeky” OUN Bandery Ukrainians died between 1944 and 1950, which is why the Polish population barely knows about them. It can be expected that the “argument” of OUN Bandera defenders in this respect will be to point out that the “Bezpeky Service” murdered supporters of russian power. So it must be said that the population has the right to choose between greater and lesser evil, that many were Ukrainians who preferred russian power in contrast to mass-murdering OUN Bandera. And also: can supporters of russian regulation be counted as mass-murdered by the “Service of Bezpeky” of the CNS Bandera of children, from infants to infants?
5) a complete deficiency of cognition of ongoing interior battles in the CNS since 1944, of common murder, which is characteristic of any totalitarian-type political formation. cognition of this subject would let Polish historians to conclude that the CNS was not a national promissory formation that it was Fascist-type formation seeking to take over the nation and not to liberate it.
Sources of intellectual enslavement
These must be aligned with the politics of the West towards the USSR, the originals must be sought in the “cold war” of the West against the USSR, which began in 1946. The OUN was an ideological enemy of the USSR, which is why it became a natural ally of the West, its, financed, especially by the United States, activists, joined the ideological conflict against the USSR, and on this occasion they actively disinformation about the OUN-UPA's activities, about the existence of the OUN Bandera's "Bezpeky Sużba" did not even mention. This disinformation activity in the Polish context was conducted on the "Free Europe" Radio and in the "Culture" of Paris. It was there that Ukrainian nationalism activists insembed Polish activists with false knowledge, it was there Ukrainian nationalist Jewhen Wreciona "informed" J. Łobodowski about the Polish provocations "against Ukrainians", and J. Giedroyc accepted this explanation as true, as he wrote in "Culture". A “Cultura” and Radio “Free Europe” were a signpost of political reasoning of Polish elites. Their work is led by “Gazeta Wyborcza”, “Rzeczpospolita”, “Karta”, “Riecz”, and following them (with very tiny exceptions) the full multi-print press in Poland and the West. After the collapse of the USSR, the United States has set 1 of its strategical objectives to separate Ukraine from Russia, and to implement it incorporated the structures of the CNS. In Ukraine, apart from Ukrainian nationalists, there are definitely no anti-Russian groups, only OUN activists can number on Ukraine's policy of depriving Russia, only they can be US aids in this respect, and A helper should not be charged with committing genocide.
Another highly crucial reason for enslavement of the minds of the Polish political and technological elites was the full deficiency of investigation of archival documents, in peculiar papers by the CNS-UPA-SB. I find the formalist approach of Polish historians to this problem: in view of the real difficulties in the penetration of Ukrainian archives, this crucial section of discipline was abandoned by them. Therefore, the unjustified claims of these historians about the "Polish-Ukrainian conflict", about the "spirals of retaliatory actions" (see: W. Pillar), although specified actions constituted a minimum margin compared to the action of mass murders on the Polish population. prof. W. Pillar could only say about the “spiral” due to the fact that he never got to know the archival documents.
The IPN asks the Ukrainian government to supply archival materials, which is simply a misunderstanding. specified materials should be addressed by historians employed in IPN, these papers are not usually the subject of interstate exchange. I can betray the "mystery": as in any modern country, besides in Ukraine (and throughout the erstwhile USSR) archival resources have been microfilmed, not in 1 copy, but in many. Ukrainian (Polish of origin)_nationalist activist from Canada, flew to Moscow and from there brought about 140.000 frames of microfilmized archives of the NKVD interior Army of the Ukrainian territory and transferred them to the University Library in Toronto. I, his model, flew to Kiev and from there brought about 8,000 frames of microfilmized papers from DARO, and nevertheless personally made inquiries in this Archive, brought photocopies of papers and their handwritten copies. My (stored in respective different places in Toronto) archive collections turn out to be richer than the collection of papers and historiography of all Polish universities taken together.
In order to survey Ukrainian nationalism, it is essential to know the Ukrainian language and its Halic dialect, and this is lacking in Polish historians. 1 origin of the enslavement of the minds of the Polish political elite is the fact that we usage the advice and opinion of “the Ukrainian” Chełmszczyzna from the Nazi occupation, Nazi scholarship holder – Bohdana Osadczuk, who has never published any technological work, but is ostentatically utilizing the title "Professor". 1 of the sources of the enslavement of the minds of the Polish political elite should be the world-organized boycott of mine, Viktor Poliszczuk, works. Boykot is organized due to the fact that I, on the basis of archival documents, execute fascist vivisection of the kind of Ukrainian nationalism, prove the genocide of the Polish and Ukrainian people by archival documents. That is why, erstwhile 1 of the Polish historians (prof. A. Giza) referred to my work, the Ukrainian nationalist historian, Volodymyr Serhijczuk, replied: “Here on Polishuk, you cannot invoke!” And no 1 like that to him. dictum he didn't answer., which justifies my contempt for Polish participants and organizers of these seminars. This state of affairs shows the mediocre technological and moral condition of the participants and organizers of seminars.
I besides despise those who, incapable to challenge my findings about the fascism and the criminality of the OUN Bandera structures, usage absurd “arguments” to me, specified as “Polischuk – Prosecutor of the NKVD” (healing from alcoholism, doc. Ryszard Torzecki in “Our Word”); in “Gazeta Wyborcza” (or in “the Republic, I don’t remember) it is written that I was “a military prosecutor”, “Polischuk – a KGB agent” (Pański, Minister, until late a advanced authoritative in the President’s Chancellery, presently at a diplomatic facility, he said!). As for the latter: in a conversation with the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Toronto, I asked him to tell whom it is appropriate that the Chancellery of the president of the Republic of Poland employs among irresponsible employees, due to the fact that even a middle-level authoritative of the state or local government device could not make specified a speech without checking it. Or, perhaps, is the President's Chancellery besides about discrediting me to undermine my, based on archival evidence, findings? I'm writing about you knowing about the real state of things. So far, I have been engaged in investigation and publications of my technological work, hoping that their findings will be taken into account in assessing the tragic events that took place during and after the Nazi occupation. Since my technological effort is not noticed by the President's Chancellery (and not only by it) and the historical fact is raped in an absolute way – I was forced to compose this letter, I do not hope it will be published by the Polish press.
Here, roughly, are the sources of enslavement of the minds of Polish political elites. Their reasoning is now controlled by specified people as Jan Nowak-Jezioranski, Bohdan Osadczuk, judaic Stachiw and similar. The consequence of this control is the enslavement of minds that disregard sound science.
Ukrainian Pre-Annual Spectrum
The facts talk for themselves: there are OUN activists in the ultimate Council of Ukraine, OUN Bandery is legally active in Ukraine, its activists have mastered administration in Halicia and, to a large extent, Volyn. Pre-election nationalist formations are financed from the West. The main opposition group – Viktor Yushchenko's Block – included Jarosław Stećko, who was present at the time of the OUN Bandera election. In most cities of Western Ukraine there are streets, squares, etc. the name Bandera, Szuchewycz and another leaders of this criminal formation, many monuments of Stepan Bandera are erected, a monument of Dmytra Klaczkiwszki was erected in Volyn, participation in the ceremony of unveiling the monument was taken by Wiktor Yushchenko, dedicated the monument to the “Patriarch” of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (the alleged Kiev Patriarchate) Filaret. She died in fresh days Jarosław Stećko was buried at the prestigious “Baykov cemetery” in Kiev, for which the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was needed, the president of the ultimate Council of Ukraine W took part in the funeral. Łytwyn and his deputy took part in the event of the Minister of Justice A. Lavrynowycz, Minister of abroad Affairs Anatoliy Zhenko, Dmytro Tabacznyk, from the opposition Viktor Yushchenko, Julia Tymoshenko.
The government commission appointed for the evaluation of the CNS-UPA was chaired by the historian, Prof. Stanisław (the boy of Władysław!) Kulczycki, the same 1 who in 35 years praised Bolshevikism in his works and who “went” to the side of Ukrainian nationalism. The consequence of the work of this committee, whose associate was a nationalist activist, a high-ranking associate in UPA – judaic Stachiw (he also, not being a historian, participated in these seminars), is simply a request from the government to the ultimate Council of Ukraine to recognise OUN-UPA as a organization fighting for Ukrainian independence.
What does that mean? Only that the Ukrainian authorities dealt with the problem of Ukrainian nationalism did not cut off from the criminal, fascist type, Ukrainian Nationalist Organization. This is simply a unambiguous constatation. The president of the ultimate Council of Ukraine, Volodymyr Łytwyn, stated that the Ukrainian authorities would not apologise to Poles for the Volyn events, as at that time there was no Ukrainian state. Well, primitive reasoning, and besides – on the Polish side there was no apology request. The same W. Łytwyn calls on the politicians of Poland and Ukraine not to look for the guilty tragedy "because we will not find them even on a court day". After specified a message you should ask – who said it: a complete ignorant, ignorant, cynical? Let the president of Ukraine and Ukrainian intellectuals answer this question.
It turns out that the Ukrainian authorities are not prepared either substantively or morally to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacres. In a situation where the organizer and perpetrator of the Volynian murders is hoarded by the Ukrainian authorities, the speech by the Chancellery of the president of Poland to celebrate together the 60th anniversary of the Volynian murders has no chance of being serious will only lead to unnecessary political competitions.
Political games have already happened. Minister, the omission by you in the Committee of Circumstances of the 60th anniversary of the murders of Volyn border organizations is highly immoral, and yet Paweł Smolenski accuses you and the president of Poland that "you have accepted the optics of the border organizations dominated by anti-Ukrainian stereotypes". So with whom do you (and the president of the Republic of Poland) want to celebrate more than 100,000 in a beastly way of the murdered victims? With the glorifiers of these crime structures? And how to find this "claim" of Mr Smolenski? Who is predestined to co-organise the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacres, as not the "outline organizations" – straight interested, to this day feeling pain after the murders on their loved ones? But, according to you, not them, but the organizer of the falsification of the past of the "Cart" Centre, not prepared for the technological evaluation of the IPN, and also, seems, Mr. Kertyczak of the ZUwP.
Nothing, just to be surprised. To be amazed – what law does Paweł Smoleński say about the “anti-Ukrainian stereotypes” of border organizations? It repeats the OUN Bandery thesis, according to which the Ukrainian nation is identified with the criminal OUN Bandery, for Paweł Smolenski, pointing out the OUN Bandery as a perpetrator of genocide is tantamount to indicating the Ukrainian nation as a criminal. Paul Smolenski's attitude is simply a clear, political talk of the communist organizations. And erstwhile it comes to the injured Poles in general, I will tell you: over 1,000 (thousand) received as a consequence of my publications of letters of readers, only in 2 cases met with hatred of Ukrainians, In turn, the authors of the others do not even request the punishment of the perpetrators, they only want to condemn them, but they are hurt by the glorification of the organizers and perpetrators of the murders that are taking place present in Ukraine and not only in Ukraine.
And on this background: with what expression you appear at such, as described above, the Ukrainian authorities? Do you not see the desire to spread the blame for this genocide to the full Ukrainian nation, which is expressed by an open letter from the Lviv and Kiev intellectuals, erstwhile abroad Minister Tarasiuk, the appeal of the cardinals. L. Huzar? It turns out that besides Ukrainian intellectual and church environments are not prepared either substantively or morally to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacres. Polish (and Ukrainian) victims of OUN Bandera structures are not needed from such authorities apologize, let's prez. Kuczma does not kneel like Willy Brandt and Roman Herzog. In circumstances where OUN Badera activists sit in the authorities of Ukraine, erstwhile Ukraine's local authorities glorify this criminal formation, erstwhile the government requests that OUN-UPA be recognised as a national authorisation structure, specified celebration of the victims would be immoral.
Only formula, satisfying expectations of families of Polish victims of OUN Bandera and most of the Polish society with which the Polish side can and should appear, may be the expression POWERS OF THE OUN OF BANDERA AND HER BROWN STRUCTURES – BY THE SEYE AND SENAT OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND AND BY THE HIGHEST COUNCIL OF UKRAINE – FOR HUMANITY IN THE POLISH PEOPLE. The moral work of Ukrainian authorities for murders on Ukrainian population – below.
It seems that the Chancellery of the president of the Republic of Poland made a mistake: she was scared, she did not usage president L. Kuczma's statement. He, therefore, will no longer run, who seeks to break global isolation, could on the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacres on behalf of the president of Ukraine, condemn OUN Bandery and its armed structures for genocide on the Polish population. But is the president of Poland ready to take this step? And at the same time, in the context of Mr Kuczma's statement: Minister, if you knew the archive documents, you would have no uncertainty that it was, however, holocaust part of the Polish nation.
In an interview, you talk about celebrating together on the graves of the murdered, Mr Smolenski talks about the costume – an absolutely inadequate place: there Polish self-defense survived. If there were to be a common celebration of the victims, this place should be Ostrówówka or Wola Ostrowiecka, or the celebration of Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and another OUN Bandery victims – in the village of Diad’kowicze in the Dublin region, in the former, located 2 km from this village, the bypass of Polak Kurowski, at his well, where 16-year-old ‘ES’ They mass-killed Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, erstwhile russian soldiers, and post-murdered bodies. But, it seems, to justify the choice of this place, Polish discipline no longer has time, only Ostrówków or Wola Ostrowiecka would remain.
In this context, however, there is simply a problem: with whom on the part of the Ukrainian to organise a joint celebration of the victims? Who, during the ceremony, are the perpetrators of mass murders – the OUN Bandery, or perhaps, the Ukrainian people? These are not rhetorical questions. Without them, it is impossible to celebrate the victims.
Briefly on what happened in Volyn
In 1929, the CNS announced a "removal" from the "Ukrainian ethnographic territories" of all the "men" that would happen during the "time of the national revolution". specified a time for OUN Bandera came early in the spring of 1943. OUN Bandery's usurpering state power terrorized the Ukrainian peasants into its armed formations, which were commanded by the Halihan from the Ukrainian police and were the combatants of the battalions "Nachtigall" and "Roland". OUN Bandery joined the doctrinal, planned extermination of the Polish population. The idea, repeated by Polish historians, is to call on the Polish population of Volyn to leave its territory. As early as May 1943, Commissioner Volyn and Podola Schöne, in an interview with Bishop Polikarp, spoke of 15 1000 Poles murdered. Together, at the hands of the CNS-UPA, at least 120.000 Polish people (including Halicia) were killed. As early as May 1943, the "mobilised" were more than 50% of UPA's composition, and in December 1943 and in 1944, more than 90% of UPA's composition was terrorized. OUN Bandery's operating “Bezpeky Service” carried out mass murders on its Ukrainian opponents, at the hands of this structure, OUN Bandery fell far more than 50,000 Ukrainian population.
There were no "retaliatory actions", there was no "Polish-Ukrainian conflict", there were neither russian nor German provocations towards "Polish-Ukrainian conflict". There was the panic of the OUN Bandera, the Ukrainian population feared her more than the NKVD or Gestapo. At the same time, I signal: on the alleged “Zacurzon” there were mass murders on the Ukrainian population carried out by Polish structures (Wierzchowina, Patłokom and others), but at the basis of each of these murders lay, not constituting justifications, specific, not ideological or political reasons. Today, against the victims of the Volyn massacres, the Lviv publication says: Sobakam – sobakam smert’. So much in short, details in my work.
Atrophy of Ukrainian elite conscience
Mr. Minister, contrary to your view, Ukrainian nationalist historians know the fact about the genocide of the CNS Bandera, they know the degree of the crime on Polish and Ukrainian populations. This cognition is besides held by Ukrainian political elites, but they do not take steps to destruct Ukrainian nationalist activists from political life (and not only political life). Ukrainian authorities with her first (originated from Volyn) president Leonid Krawczuk know that respective tens of thousands of Ukrainian population fell from the hands of the "Bezpeky Service" OFA Bandery. Since they do nothing about it, it is legitimate to talk about the atrophy of their consciences.
You, Minister, correspond with Viktor Medwedczuk, talk to him, and for him the problem of celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacre is the least problem, he is simply a multimillionaire, he thinks how to destruct from the game the future president Viktor Yushchenka, not the Volyn murders.
* * Oh, * *
It seems that the Polish political thought in relation to Ukraine was not developed on the basis of historical events that be in Ukraine and according to the Polish state ration, it is inactive a function of the strategy of the United States.
It besides seems that the Polish side, specifically: the initiator of the celebrations – the Chancellery of the president – is not prepared for them or substantively (to this day it does not know who was liable for the Volyn massacres), nor morally (not inviting the border organizations, i.e. straight injured, to the Committee of Circumstances, but inviting to participate in it forgeries of history). A worthy celebration of the victims of the Volyn massacre requires a completely different approach. As Mr Kuczma said: even the most bitter fact about the Volyn killings is not able to disrupt Polish-Ukrainian relations. For the Ukrainian people are not the OUN, they are not the UPA, nor the "Service of Bezpeky" of the OUN Bandera.
In this situation, all the more so, erstwhile you say that the Polish initiative to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volyn massacre is connected with the risk, is it not better to give political peace to the actions of the Chancellery of the president of Poland? possibly you should say: Quietly over these graves! May the murdered remainder in peace. May their families and loved ones in peace pray for solitude or among themselves for the peace of the souls of the victims of Ukrainian Fascism. Let no political spectacle be performed over their graves.
With due respect to your Office:

Post scriptum: I made a number of Ukrainian OUN Bandera victims from 1941 to 1950. In Volyn they are no little than 50,000, and in Halicia they are no little than 30,000, together in this area and at that time at the hands of the OUN Bandera no little than 80 000 Ukrainian people were killed. The papers on which I made the calculations will be published shortly in the 3rd part of my work "Ukrainian nationalism in documents’.
