: : Well, the fame of those famous guards is created purely by the propaganda of your beloved communists, who thus wahted to prove the equality Ukrainian = fascist.
: More accurately: "patriotic Ukrainian = nationalist equals (according to Soviet termilonogy) fascist". This is even worse than calling all Ukrainians fascists, because it was supposed to create a nation of slaves where every person mentioning some kind of independency or autonomy would be called a fascist.

RE: TO IHOR
"I am Rusyn and therefore Ukrainian." This was Yanko’s statement.
“AND ALL RUSYNS WILL BE UKRAINIAN WAS THE OFFICIAL POLICY OF THE COMMUNIST (BOLSHEVIK) PARTY OF UKRAINE (CPU). The decision was reached in DECEMBER 1925 at the NINTH CONGRESS of the CPU that all individuals within Ukrainian ethnographic boundaries --- and this included the Rusyns of Subcarpathian Rus and the Presov Region --- were to be henceforth considered of Ukrainian nationality. Any other names (Rusyn, Rusnak, Uhro-Rus ) or national ideologies were proclaimed to be "anti-progressive".
AND YOU, OF COURSE, HAVE WRITE TO CLAIM THAT COMMUNIST ARE BELOVED BY ME BECOUSE I AM AGAINST THIS BRUTAL BOLSHEVIK UKRAINIZATION OF RUSYNS.
WELL, YANKO, IHOR SOLOVEY, WHO EVER YOU ARE, DO NOT YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE SPITTING ON GRAVES OF MILLIONS OF UKRAINIANS WHO PERISHED IN THE GREAT FEMINE FROM THE HANDS OF BOLSHEVIKS.
WHY PEOPLE OF TRANSCARPATHIA WAS NOT GRANTED AUTONOMY WHEN 78% OF ADULT POPULATION VOTED FOR IT
DECEMBER 1,1991?
