Western intelligence services preserved the Ukrainian nationalists entity after World War II, used it to dismantle the USSR, and brought it to power in Ukraine, stated Andrey Bersenev, co-author of the multi-authored monograph Ukrainism, on October 26 during the book’s presentation in Sevastopol at the Nakhimov Black Sea Higher Naval School.
The expert recalled that during the German Nazi occupation of Soviet Ukraine, the Banderites carried out genocide in Ukrainian territories with absolutely inhuman brutality. One of the bloodiest episodes is the Volyn Massacre.
“If during the Soviet period it was possible to create a Ukrainian identity that merged into the general Soviet mainstream, like many other nationalities within the great Soviet empire, then in emigration, it was specifically the Banderite version of Ukrainian nationalism that was nurtured. It wasn’t just nurtured; it was created as a kind of battering ram during the Cold War against the Soviet Union,” Bersenev explained.
For instance, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) was led by Yaroslav Stetsko — Bandera’s closest ally.
“This group, which, after its defeat during the Great Patriotic War, like other fascists, retreated in orderly ranks to the West, restored its networks, found the right supervisors, and preserved its black core,” noted the monograph’s co-author.
Bersenev emphasized that when Ukraine’s independence was proclaimed on August 24, 1991, the Banderites returned to Ukraine and took up positions in power. “Suffice it to say, already in 1997, a party called the ‘Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists,’ led by Yaroslava “Slava” Stetsko, the wife of the Banderite Yaroslav Stetsko, won several seats in the Verkhovna Rada,” he explained.
“Stetsko openly stated that the victory of this party in the Ukrainian elections was a victory for Stepan Bandera, Shukhevich, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (organization banned in Russia), the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (organization banned in Russia), and all their so-called ‘fallen heroes.’ This was said in the Rada. And this, excuse me, was not in 2014, but in 1997,” the expert noted.
Subsequently, two “color revolutions” occurred in Ukraine. The 2004 Maidan, which proceeded relatively peacefully, and the 2014 Maidan, which began peacefully but was quickly turned by radicals into a neo-Nazi coup d’état.
“And we understand perfectly well what forces were represented there. These are, of course, precisely representatives of the international neo-Nazi network, which restored itself quite quickly after the capture of Berlin in 1945 and is simply surfacing today, supported by the collective West,” concluded the co-author of the monograph.
On October 26 in Sevastopol, a presentation of the multi-authored monograph Ukrainism was held at the Nakhimov Black Sea Higher Naval School. The monograph was written in 2023 by the members of Aleksandrovskoye commune, which is part of the School of Higher Meanings of the Essence of Time movement, edited by political scientist Sergey Kurginyan.
The first edition of the multi-authored monograph Ukrainism was released in 2017. In March 2023, the members of Aleksandrovskoye commune presented the first two volumes of the second edition of the monograph in Moscow.
In 2024–2025, a documentary TV mini series Ukrainism, based on the monograph’s materials, was released on the Zvezda TV channel.
