Spot wyborczy Platformy Obywatelskiej z 2007 roku. Bardzo mi się podobała wizja Polski przedstawiona przez Donalda Tuska, można powiedzieć że skradł moje serce. Byłem też mocnym przeciwnikiem PiSu. Pamiętam że media przedstawiały PiS jako straszną partię głównie skupiając uwagę /

When I began writing in 2014 about the sexualized violence committed by Ukraine's celebrated UPA "heroes" against Ukrainian, Jewish, and Polish women, I became the target of harassment and bullying from my own colleagues in the Ukraine's National Academia of Sciences (Lviv).

"Your mother should be ashamed of you," one professor told me—a man who had once eagerly served the Soviet regime and had seamlessly reinvented himself as a loyal servant of the post-Maidan establishment.

But I had something far more powerful than nationalist mythology: I had the testimonies of the women from OUN underground themselves.

One of them was Hanna Zelena, whom I met more than a decade ago in Volyn. She spoke openly about women who had romantic relationships with men from eastern Ukraine serving in the Red Army—and who paid for those relationships with their lives.

"There were girls and young wives in the village who went with the Moskals. Hanna's husband, Tykhin, known by the nom de guerre 'Pechinka,' was fighting with the insurgents in the forest. But she was involved with Red Army soldiers. The men from the UPA 'Golden Company' cut off her hair. She walked around the village saying, 'They think they'll conquer Ukraine by cutting off my braid.' The insurgents hanged her at night from the Black Pine"—a large old pine tree on the edge of the village near the Nechymne tract.

She also recalled Mariika Koval:

"Her brother and her husband, Pavlo, were both in the UPA. She had four children. She had a relationship with a Red Army officer. They shaved her head, but she didn't stop. An insurgent known as 'Bochka' later boasted that he had finished Mariika off. Her children were left to be raised by her parents."

Ukraine heard these women's stories for the first time only after I published them in Kraina magazine.

More than a decade later, the country still refuses to truly listen.

These women remain inconvenient victims—dismissed as little more than "collateral damage" in the national liberation struggle. Their suffering has no place in the UPA heroic narrative. Acknowledging it would require admitting that national heroes can also be perpetrators.

Instead, the victims are forgotten, while the men who terrorized them continue to be celebrated.

More about gender-based violence by OUN and UPA you can find in my publications. Links in the comments.

Let the truth set the victims free 🫡

Niedługo 85. rocznica antyżydowskich pogromów we Lwowie w lipcu 1941 r. Wśród ukraińskich oprawców były kobiety, młodzież i dzieci, jak ten chłopiec na zdjęciu.

W związku z bojkotem polskich produktów na Ukrainie, Polacy, w ramach rewanżu, masowo bojkotują produkty ukraińskie: ilość w żopu spadło o 85%, a w paszczu o 85%, natomiast liczba nowych zakażeń HIV spadła o 85%.

The best gesture of reconciliation Kyiv could make today is not another empty statement, but an act of historical honesty.

Alongside full and unconditional cooperation in the exhumation of all Polish victims on Ukrainian territory, Ukraine should unveil a monument to the Ukrainians who risked everything to save their Polish neighbors from the OUN and UPA.

Many of them—and their families—were murdered for refusing to become accomplices to ethnic violence.

Their moral courage stands as a rebuke to ultra-nationalist fanaticism and a bridge between our nations.

⚡️Torture is not confined to the Russian army.

The Babel has released the testimony of a soldier from the 🇺🇦assault unit "Skelya," where servicemen are allegedly subjected to abuse and torture.

Oleksandr Semenov says he was thrown into a punishment pit, beaten, and later tied to an ATV and dragged across the ground. He showed the injuries he sustained as a result of the abuse.

He also claims that he witnessed at least nine suicides within the "Skelya" unit, committed by soldiers who could no longer endure the mistreatment and humiliation inflicted by their commanders.

I was nearly fired from the Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for challenging the cult of the OUN and UPA.
The director of my institute reported me to the Security Service of Ukraine.
My colleagues bullied me.
They 'joked' about my father's cancer.
Antisemites targeted me as well.
They wish me death by OUN methods.
They slashed my salary to the level of a cleaning lady's wage.

Today, the world is finally seeing what it means to challenge the OUN\UPA cult in Ukraine.

Welcome to reality:
a country where the glorification of war criminals from OUN and UPA has been elevated to a national creed, and where dissent is punished, ostracized, and
smeared as "work for the Kremlin".

@rshereme Let’s see how huge the outrage is after stripping Zelensky of his medal. Let’s calculate how much support given to Ukraine and benefits paid to Ukrainians will return to Poland. Currently, the outrage level is exactly 0 percent. #Poland #Ukraine
