UNVEILED HISTORY

Andriy Bandera. A Father Punished for His Son

In the case file on Stepan Bandera, which is stored in the archives of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, there are a number of documents relating to his father, Father Andriy. This is a dramatic story of how the chekists switched their hatred for one of the leaders of the Ukrainian liberation movement to his close relatives. At the same time, it is also an example of the strength of the spirit of a person who did not break under the pressure of the totalitarian system, did not give up his ideological beliefs, and did not become an obedient tool of influence, as was planned at the highest level of the nkvd. The documents found in the archives of the Intelligence Service shed light on new, hitherto unknown episodes of this story.
