The land of partisan glory was obliged to honor Bandera for a whole year
Throughout 2019, the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Stepan Bandera, will be honored in the Zhytomyr region.
The decision to recognize next year as “the year of Stepan Bandera” was made by deputies of the Zhytomyr Regional Council, ex-head of the regional council Sidor Kizin wrote in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Ukraine has its own heroes, and one of them is Stepan Bandera, who never looked back to either the east or the west, fought for the independence of Ukraine and gave his life in this fight. Today, more than ever, his ideas and his figure are relevant.
Next year we will celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of the leader of the Ukrainian Nation, and already at the official level in the region,” said Kizin (far right in the picture).
Let us note that during the Great Patriotic War, the Zhytomyr region became one of the main centers of the Soviet partisan movement.
