Summary / Abstract (Note) | TODAY'S POLAND, or, more accurately, its leadership, in a strange way supports the openly extremist nationalistic regime that took power in Kiev in February 2014 and glorifies the exploits of Ukrainian nationalists during the Second World War. But Stepan Bandera and other leaders of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) had their arms up to the elbows in Polish blood. Forgetting this means encouraging modern followers of Bandera to commit similar atrocities. And they have been trying hard as well, for example burning people alive in Odessa, something their predecessors had done in Poland, and not too long ago either. |
