General Andrey Vlasov . File photoMOSCOW, Aug 9By the end of the Great Patriotic War, the traitor General Andrey Vlasov actually teamed up with the Ukrainian nationalists and promised them an independent state, and they called on their accomplices to join the ranks of the Vlasov army for a joint fight against the USSR, archival documents about this are published by the FSB of Russia. Among the published documents is a photocopy of the protocol interrogation of a member of the «Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists» * (OUN *) of a certain Nikolai Mucha, conducted by the Soviet military counterintelligence SMERSH at the end of April 1945. A native of Western Ukraine, Mucha said that after the start of World War II, he joined the ranks of the Bandera part of the OUN *, wanting to help her in creating an independent Ukrainian state. Stepan Bandera headed one of the two factions of the OUN * that arose as a result of the split in the «Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists» that occurred in the late 1930s. Bandera from the OUN (b) * were at enmity with another faction — the OUN (m) *, which was led by Andrei Melnik. At the same time, both groups sought to enlist the support of the Nazis, and their leaders were agents of the secret services of the Third Reich. Melnik was recruited by the German military intelligence Abwehr and given the pseudonym «Consul-1».The FSB spoke about the help of Ukrainian nationalists to Hitler against the USSR But he was kept in relatively comfortable conditions, and was released in 1944. Mucha said that after the arrest of Bandera, he was forced to go into the forest with other members of the OUN (b) *, and in 1942 he was caught by the Nazis and sent to work in Germany. There Mucha, according to him, settled in the village of Blumberg. In 1943, he joined the ranks of the OUN * — «Melnikovites», whose center was located in Berlin. Moreover, Mukha was persuaded to do this by the OUN* Ivan Zhuk, who was taken to Germany with him, who now specially arrived from the capital of the Third Reich in order to describe to his accomplice the advantages of the «Melnikovites». in Germany. «Zhuk came to me for the second time from Berlin in December 1943 and gave a more detailed instruction in working with members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists,» Mukha testified during interrogation.
The FSB revealed the plan of the OUN * to kill Soviet soldiers during the capture of Berlin «He said that the time had come to actively begin work to prepare the fight against the Red Army. The surrendered general Vlasov has a large army capable of armed struggle against the Red Army, and, of course, with the help of the Germans, he will be able to overthrow the Soviet government and become in the power of Russia. And he, like the Germans, promises us to establish an “independent” Ukrainian state,” Mukha said. , which consisted of several points. «Honestly serve and work for Germany, consider it as your ally. Among the Russian and Ukrainian population, strengthen propaganda against the Soviet Union and agitate them to join the Vlasov army, calling them for a common fight against communism,» Mukha recalled during interrogation. It was also required to «identify persons sympathetic to the Soviet government and the Red Army, and report them to the Gestapo or the police.» For this, Mukha promised the OUN* members rewards and good work.Ukrainian nationalists in the 1930s called for cooperation with Hitler. At the same time, the OUN* had to «do no work with the Poles, since they want to create a Polish state on Ukrainian soil with the help of England,» Mukha noted. According to him, all Zhuk's instructions were «carried out unquestioningly», and in 1943-1944 he involved almost 20 people in the OUN*. “I communicated all the instructions I received from the OUN* center in Berlin to every member of the organization who was under my command,” Mukha said. “In my oral propaganda, I called on Ukrainians and Russians to join the Vlasov army for a common struggle against the Red Army,” Mukha testified. “I argued that the Red Army would be defeated by us, an independent Ukrainian state would be created, in which the collective farms would be liquidated and the land would be distributed among the peasants as the personal property of each. Along with this, I proved the superiority of the fascist system of Germany over the Soviet system,” he said. 
Previously unknown documents about Ukrainian nationalism were published. Mukha also said that once every two weeks he went to the villages, where he contacted the OUN*, who informed him about the mood of Russians and Ukrainians who worked for local landowners. Mukha said during interrogation that in January 1945 he was summoned to a meeting that Vlasov and Melnik gathered and which took place in the theater on Berlin's Marienplatz. The meeting was attended by many German officers. «In their speech, Vlasov and Melnik urged to be ready to fight the Red Army, to prove to the population of Russian, Ukrainian and other nationalities that the war would be long and would last until the Red Army was defeated. In this In the main direction, propaganda was carried out by me, ”Mukha recalled. Being under the tutelage of the Nazis, the former General of the Red Army Vlasov headed the so-called Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (KONR) and commanded its armed forces — the Russian Liberation Army (ROA). Vlasov was arrested by SMERSH in May 1945. By the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR, Vlasov and a number of his accomplices-traitors were hanged on August 1, 1946 in Moscow. of the «Ukrainian Battalion», which brutally killed civilians in the Bryansk region, including burning innocent people alive.* Extremist organization banned in Russia. jpg» />The Ministry of Defense spoke about the crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis during the war
