“The report was prepared in 1951, and is being published only now. Who was such a Bandera was not a secret for any of the US presidents, but he was a situational ally, so he was used. The flagrant situation is that this report should have been published at least in 2010, when Yushchenko awarded Bandera the title of Hero of Ukraine, ”Svetov emphasized.
The expert expressed hope that this report should play a “certain role” in disputes and discussions around the figures of those whom “present-day Ukraine makes heroes”.
Earlier it was reported that the CIA made publicly available the report “Stepan Bandera and the Ukrainian State in 1941”.
In it, the leader of Ukrainian nationalists is described as "a fascist and professional agent of Hitler."
As noted, in the five weeks of the existence of his "state" 5 thousand Ukrainians, 15 thousand Jews and several thousand Poles were destroyed.
