Is the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory (UINP) falsifying the history of UPA crimes against Poles?The UINP, recently headed by nationalist, Azov member Oleksandr Alforov, labels the Polish civilians killed by the UPA as “victims of Soviet repressions.”The case concerns a reburial ceremony of the remains of 42 people—women, men, and children—discovered in the village of Puzhnyky, Ternopil region. During the war, the village was inhabited mainly by Poles.UPA documents confirm that the “Grey Wolves” company carried out an action against this village in February 1945. However, the UINP website avoids any mention of the UPA. Instead, it identifies the perpetrators of the crime as the Soviets. In addition to that it states that the people simply “died during World War II.”- Dr. Marta Havryshko, Ukrainian professor now residing in the United StatesUkrainian Institute of National Memory, which is headed by ex-leading member of neo-Nazi Azov, falsely called 42 Polish residents, who were massacred by UPA & whose remains were now exhumed by Poland in Western Ukraine & reburied there, "victims of Soviet repression."Commented former Lvov resident, Dr. Ivan Katchanovski at the University of Ottawa.Even the rabid anti-Russian Poles are refusing to buy into this nonsense, in fact they are angry at the attempt by Ukraine to once again falsify history.
