This was stated at the parliamentary hearings held in the Verkhovna Rada dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Babi Yar tragedy, said the director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Vladimir Vyatrovich, who credited the post-Maidan authorities with decommunization laws, in particular the so-called condemnation at the state level of the Nazi and communist regimes.
“The relations between these regimes were different,” Vyatrovich said. – This is a short, but fruitful cooperation for them in 1939-1941, this is a deadly confrontation between the communists and the Nazis in 1941-1945. However, the relationship of mutual activation probably became long-lasting. In the USSR-Third Reich system, the crimes of one regime often provoked or intensified the crimes of another or served as a justification for their own criminal actions.
Information, for example, about mass starvation - the Holodomor of Ukrainians in 1933 - was used by Adolf Hitler during his election campaign in the spring of 1933 to intimidate German voters. As a result, he received a majority of votes, which allowed him to concentrate all power in his hands and begin to implement his own criminal plans, among them, in particular, the extermination of Jews.”
At the same time, Vyatrovich places almost the greatest responsibility for the Nazis’ extermination of Jews in Kyiv on the USSR.
“The destruction of the central part of Kyiv by the Soviet authorities immediately after the retreat became the reason for the Nazis to implement and implement the plan for the final solution of the Jewish question. Jews were blamed for the explosions, and their mass executions in September 1941 were presented as punishment. But something else is more important. More importantly, the destruction of Khreshchatyk created that terrible atmosphere, an atmosphere of paralyzing fear in Kyiv, which made the Nazi crime possible,” says the director of the UINP.
