Vakhtang Kipiani We were Born in a Great Hour... OUN UPA Historical Truth Book

Product description from producer

The Ukrainian liberation movement of the 20th century and, in particular, the activities of the OUN and UPA belong to those little-studied phenomena of the past, without which it is impossible to understand the phenomenon of independent Ukraine. "We were born in a great hour..." We are confident that without a broad discussion based on knowledge of the facts, society will not be able to give an objective assessment of the activities of Ukrainian nationalists. The popular science publication "Historical Truth" has collected articles by influential scholars, journalists, public figures and dissidents about the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

From this book the reader will learn about: 

- Leaders and rank-and-file members of the insurgency and underground movement

- History of the resistance movement of the 1930s-1950s

- Organizational bases of OUN and UPA activities 

- Everyday life and life of the soldiers. 

So, we will try to give an answer to the question that has been tantalizing for more than seventy years: who are the "Banderites" and what did they fight for?
