"UPA - not Ukrainian, not rebel and not army"
Petro Poroshenko decree postponed the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day from February 23 to October 14, that is, to the date of the creation of the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
Russian analyst Anatoly Wasserman specifically for KM.RU comments on this decision of the Ukrainian authorities.
Ethnically Galicia is much farther from Ukraine than Ukraine is from the Russian Federation
- To begin with, Petro Poroshenko is not the president of Ukraine. The Supreme Council of Ukraine 22 February adopted several decisions, which together made all its further activities legally void. I will not tell you in detail, I wrote about this in the article “Legal Insignificance”, so google if you need details.
Accordingly, all decisions of the Supreme Council, including the decision on the appointment of extraordinary presidential elections, have no legal force. Viktor Yanukovych remains president until 25 February 2015. This is the first.
Secondly, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army is not Ukrainian, not insurgent and not army. It is not Ukrainian, because the personnel was formed not in Ukraine, but in Galicia. Galicia was half a century before the First World War training ground, where methods of transforming Russians into anti-Russians were practiced. As a result, a significant part of the population of Galicia was already long ago zazombirovanna until complete loss of understanding about the world and about themselves. Ethnically, Galicia is much further away from Ukraine than Ukraine is from the Russian Federation.
The stories that the UPA fought against the German invaders - linden
The UPA is not a rebel, for it has not rebelled against anyone. The stories that, they say, the UPA fought against the German invaders - linden. President Yushchenko, addressed in his time to the German authorities with a request to find in the German archives information about the struggle of the UPA against the German occupiers.
Germans are honest people. They combed all the archives and finally reported that the total number of German citizens affected by the clashes with UPA members was a couple of dozen people. Including the dead - less than a dozen people. And they all suffered in the shootings that happened by mistake. Either the Germans took upashnikov for partisans, or upashniki attempted to plunder a peasant convoy, not knowing that he was going to a German warehouse and was guarded by the Germans.
There were cases of targeted attacks by UPA fighters on the Germans, but this was another UPA, led by Borovets. Later, UPA, subordinate to Bandera and Shukhevych, crushed this Borovets, but its activities turned out to be of little effect. The total number of Germans injured in the clashes with the Borovets units is considerably less than a hundred.
Everything UPA has done has nothing to do with defending the fatherland
Thus, the UPA can not be called a rebel, and finally, it can not be called an army. From the very beginning, it was organized not by the army, but by the police principle, representing in essence the auxiliary police guarding the German rear. And they guarded the rear is not by fighting with the partisans. In any clashes with the partisans, they lost, and only having fired at partisans from an ambush and immediately ran away, they had a chance to survive. They destroyed the peasants: and Russian, which they themselves called Ukrainian, and Polish. The peasants supplied the partisans with food, and, massively destroying them, the UPA hampered the food supply.
So, everything that the UPA did, has nothing to do with the defense of the fatherland. The celebration of the creation of this auxiliary German police could be called a crime, but in my opinion, this is just nonsense. I believe that Poroshenko and his advisers do not know all these details, and they are not interested in it. It is important for them to beat the heads of the citizens of Ukraine with any garbage, so that this garbage somehow justifies their own power.
