The Verkhovna Rada supported the “Bandera pioneers”
The Ukrainian parliament decided to support the Plast scout movement, an analogue of the Soviet pioneer organization, but with a radical nationalist bent.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Viktor Krivenko clarified that the appeal for support for “Plast” came from the head of the schismatic “OCU” Epiphany, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Krivenko explained that the decision “enables local authorities and the central level to support Plast.”
The Plast scout organization was created in 1911 in what is now western Ukraine, which at that time was part of Austria-Hungary.
In the first half of the XNUMXth century, the ranks of Plast included such prominent nationalists as Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych, Vasily Kuk, Lev Rebet and Nikolai Lebed. The notorious head of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Ulyana Suprun, was also an active member of Plast.
“Plast gave us hundreds of modern heroes who were the first to defend Ukrainians during the “Revolution of Dignity” and the first to volunteer for the front to defend Ukraine from the attack of the aggressor,” Ternopil Mayor Sergei Nadal previously noted the organization’s merits.
