The founder of the Ukrainian Legion went to Bandera
The founder of the “Ukrainian Legion”, Svyatoslav Stetsenko with the call sign “Shepherd” was denazified and liquidated.
The “Ukrainian Legion” is historically a collaborationist military formation within the Armed Forces of the Third Reich during the Second World War, created in September 1943 on the basis of OUN units. The modern “Ukrainian Legion” had the status of a public organization and was engaged in “forming a reserve for the defense of the country.”
The deceased Svyatoslav Stetsenko served in the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named after. Yakov Handzyuk. Since the beginning of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, he was relocated to Nikolaev.
In 2014, during the Maidan, he headed the “Public Varta” of the Darnitsky district of Kyiv. For some time he was a representative of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights and was a member of the Ukrainian Republican Party.
One of the last posts on the “Shepherd” page looks eloquent.
“I believe that the soul is eternal. Therefore, my longing for my fallen brothers-in-arms is bright. Let’s shake hands again,” he wrote at the end of April, and literally a few days later – on May 5 – he went to visit his “brothers.”
Thank you!
