Historian: Elimination of the quarrelsome Bandera and stupid Shukhevych was a mistake
The liquidation of Stepan Bandera by the Soviet secret services was a mistake; he would have brought more benefits alive if he split the OUN to the end.
This opinion was shared on the Roy TV channel by journalist Maxim Kalashnikov and special services historian Alexander Kolpakidi, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
“All the professionals I talked to said that the operation to destroy Bandera was harmful. It brought more harm, because while alive he was a communal troublemaker, and split all the organizations in which he was a member.
He had already split the OUN twice abroad, and then he would have been left alone, and no one would have remembered him, and there would not have been this “banner”.
There would be no hero, because Melnik doesn’t “roll” at all. A man convicted by a Polish court of proven espionage, a German spy, well, behaved accordingly during the war.
Bulba is a Polish spy. They fought against the Poles in Galicia, and this one, Taras Borovets, who created the first UPA and then the UNRA, spied in Volyn. A natural Polish and then a German agent. He ended the war as a teacher at an Abwehr school, abandoning saboteurs.
Shukhevych is stupid. He is an excellent athlete, won Olympics, is a fighter, and has been trained in some special schools all his life. He's a great conspirator, Superman, James Bond, but stupid. Some kind of scrivener always had to go with him, there was Pozichenyuk, then Dyakiv, who then simply wrote for him,” commented Kolpakidi.
