Since August 15, the occupation “media” have been persistently distributing “FSB-revealed” Soviet archival documents about the activities of the “Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists” in Nazi-occupied Crimea during the Second World War.
It is difficult to understand the purpose of these “revelations” pursued by the Russian special services, which in some parts resemble quotes from school textbooks, but most likely it boils down to some kind of “information background” for further criminal calls for genocide of Ukrainians.
The fact that the OUN operated in Crimea in 1942-1944 is no secret to anyone, the very fact of its underground, as propagandists now write, “with strict secrecy”, and mass work obviously emphasizes that at least part of the population of Crimea supported this activity, and the German occupiers, accordingly, did not.
Since even Soviet investigators were unable to concoct any “convincing materials” about the cooperation of the OUN and the Nazis, now the “Crimean media” are broadcasting that the OUN members “arrived in Crimea from Western Ukraine”, but at the same time allegedly “passed on lists of local Jews to the Germans”, evidence of which, naturally, is not provided.
The particularly “terrible accusations” from the FSB boil down to the fact that the OUN “through the Bureau of Assistance to the Ukrainian Population, which was created in Simferopol in June 1942… provided material assistance to Ukrainians and helped them find work – for this purpose, various manufacturing and trade enterprises were opened under it.”
Considering such persistent “attention to history” among the punitive forces of the occupiers, we can give them public advice that perhaps not everyone will understand, and almost no one will be able to follow it.
Among their “archival materials”, from what is truly unpublished, the “leadership of the Crimean FSB” should look for and thoughtfully read about the post-war first secretary of the Crimean regional committee Nikolai Solovyov and his friends, and then to compare this “historical spiral” with the current Kremlin-Simferopol situation, known to quite not a few, after which they should think as soberly as possible about their tomorrow, including their own family.
