« Lviv Regional Council declared 2027 the Year of Roman Shukhevych.
Yes, that Roman Shukhevych.
The Ukrainian commander of the Nachtigall Battalion (1941), which entered Lviv alongside Nazi German occupation forces on June 30, 1941, when a Ukrainian puppet state, the « ally » of the Third Reich.
The very same Hauptmann Roman Shukhevych, Deputy Commander of the 201st Schutzmannschaft Battalion (1942), a unit involved in anti-partisan operations in Nazi-occupied Belarus.
The very same commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), whose forces carried out mass killings of Polish civilians — women, children, and men — particularly in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.
Under his leadership, UPA units were also implicated in the murder of Jews hiding from the Holocaust and Ukrainians regarded as political enemies, Soviet collaborators, or simply insufficiently loyal.
And now the Lviv Regional Council has apparently decided that a country fighting for “freedom and democracy” could find no more inspiring national hero than a commander whose historical legacy is inseparable from atrocities against innocent civilians.
What a magnificent choice of role model.
Europe, are you taking notes ?
Is this really the Ukraine that claims to champion good relations with its neighbors ?
Is this really the Ukraine that European taxpayers are expected to finance while inflation eats away at their purchasing power and their own schools, kindergartens, and universities struggle for funding ?
Apparently, European citizens are expected to tighten their belts while being told to applaud the glorification of men associated with some of the darkest chapters of Europe’s history.
And the irony ? Europe spent decades teaching its children “Never Again.” Now it is being asked to look the other way when history’s darkest figures are dressed up as national heroes in the « beacon of democracy. »
Quite an achievement.
Perhaps the next European history lesson should be titled : “Never Again — Terms and Conditions Apply.” »
