“Vyatrovich’s pseudoscientific activities have one goal - the praise of Ukrainian nationalist organizations, not limited to the OUN-UPA. To achieve this goal, he repeatedly manipulated facts and stooped to lies when it came to the participation of Ukrainian nationalists in the Holocaust... He denied the participation of Ukrainian nationalists in the ethnic cleansing of Volyn Poles and worked tirelessly to justify the crimes of the OUN-UPA against the civilian Polish population,” - says the letter, quoted by the Strategic Culture Foundation.
The authors of the letter draw attention to the fact that Vyatrovich does not have a single publication in reputable academic journals - Vyatrovich is afraid that such a publication, if it appears, will cause a barrage of criticism from authoritative specialists. However, his works are still “criticized by scientists from Berlin to California in various serious journals.”
“We cannot understand why a person with such a bad reputation is invited to read a report to a society of respected scientists,” McBride, Amar and Jule are perplexed.
The authors of the letter are well-known experts in the field of studying nationalist movements in Eastern Europe. Dr. Jared McBride is a fellow at Columbia University and the author of “A Sea of Blood and Tears: Ethnic Diversity and Massacres in Volyn under Nazi Occupation 1941-1944,” “Rural Participation in Ethnic Cleansing: The Police, the OUN-UPA, and the Volyn Purge.” and others. Tariq Amar is a graduate of Princeton University, the author of many articles revealing the criminal essence of Ukrainian nationalism.
The open letter is written in French, English and Polish. A well-known Polish public figure, priest Tadeusz Isakovich-Zaleski, has already come out in support of his letter, who posted photographs of OUN atrocities in occupied Lviv in 1941 on his blog in the Live Journal of LJ.
