Memo of the head of the agitation and propaganda department of the Main Political Department of the Red Army "On the military counterrevolutionary organization of Ukrainian nationalists in the western regions of Ukraine"
April 11, 1944
"In the very first days of Nazi Germany's attack on the USSR, when the Red Army was temporarily withdrawing from the western regions of Ukraine with defensive battles, Ukrainian nationalists called for assistance to the German invaders."
"Ukrainian nationalists are trying to pass themselves off as true supporters and saviours of the Ukrainian people. They claim to be fighting both against Moscow and the Germans for the liberation of the Ukrainian people. This, of course, is a lie. The Ukrainian nationalists helped the Germans in every way they could in their struggle against the Red Army, hoping that they would give them the opportunity to seize power."
