Ukrainian nationalists outraged by exhibition about Volyn victims in Kyiv

Apr 8, 2010 at 17:48 | Interfax-Ukraine
The Congress of Ukrainian nationalists, the Ukrainian Nationalist Assembly - Ukrainian Nationalist Self-Defense (UNA-UNSD) and other nationalist organizations have asked President Viktor Yanukovych to "stop the attempts to falsify the history of the national liberation movement."

Such is the message issued by the protestors on Thursday outside the Ukrainian House in Kyiv, where a photo exhibition has been opened under the title, "The Volyn slaughter: Polish and Jewish victims of the OUN-UIA (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists - Ukrainian Insurgent Army)," an Interfax correspondent said.

The exhibition is organized by the Russian-language Ukraine, a human rights group, and the Society of the Victims of Ukrainian Nationalists' Movement (Poland).

"You have been elected the president of an independent state and not an occupational administration, and therefore your actions must be aimed at asserting and defending the independent state, in the name of which the OUN-UIA and hundreds of thousands of known and unknown freedom fighters struggled against the bolshevist Russia and Poland," the letter said.

The event involving about 50 participants passed without incident.
