less, dear friends, yesterday was 50 and a half if not 60,000 for our 5 hours in the morning, i understand that it is impossible to keep such a pace every day but nevertheless, let's at least keep up very much and join our collection in the lower left corner you can see the qr-code behind it, transfer funds well, i will now add this to our conversation with our next guest , vasyl kmytia, historian, archivist, candidate of historical sciences, director of the scientific library of the ivan franko lviv national university, mr. vasyl. congratulations. good day, mr. vasylivna, was called on the air just in time. these days, another anniversary is passing, or can you even say anniversary, it will be better to use this word as the red army occupied western ukraine occupied galicia for a very long time, even during the independence

of ukraine, the country generally lived with such two concepts in one part of the country, the red army they were called liberators in quotation marks because they were actually considered enslavers, while in galicia some soviet monuments were taken away from soviet soldiers, so in that part of the country ukraine is big, so to speak i brought flowers, if they went out here in galicia, i say here because we are now from lviv . people came out against them with medals in hordes who gathered on the ninth of may and did not consider it a great holiday, then the other part of the country celebrated and only now it seems different to me part of it begins to understand the west of ukraine. although it does not fully understand this history , it fully

understands why those who allegedly brought freedom here were perceived in the west of the country. considered a hero, in another part considered an enslaver, well. it should be noted that the myth of the so-called great patriotic war and this so-called struggle, which flourished in soviet ideology after 1965, without a doubt, practically eliminated the events of 1939 from the general discourse, why i will start with the fact is that at the time when the first world war began, when germany declared war on poland, when the weiss plan began to be implemented, the soviet union was a direct and most active ally of germany more in fact, the soviet union was one of the designers of the idea of ​​the future war and this military - this is the soviet military machine

, it was actually overtaken by the germans, and in this context the history of conquest and the context of the fact that in the 39th year of the beginning of the second world war, these territories of ukraine were already involved and more than 100,000 ukrainians as part of the polish army fought against nazism. well, somehow it did not fit into that general structure , on the other hand, for soviet ideology and for soviet policy, these events were important stage in the occupation of the rest of the ukrainian lands that did not join the soviet union after the union treaty of 1922, and here it was possible to very successfully use certain sentiments of ukrainians, in particular, since being part of other states of hungary, poland, romania , of course, ukrainians did not have all their rights secured, and in the context when when hitler and stalin decided on the redistribution

of europe among themselves, it is clear that these lands and territories played only a certain instrumental role for the soviet union, the ukrainian lands outside the borders of the soviet union itself were a certain problem because they were centers of a slightly different vision of world politics , domestic politics, they were the places where the ukrainian emigration went, and they were the centers, in particular, when we we are talking about galicia, where at that time there was a great tradition of the ukrainian political nation movement and , accordingly, the soviet union was really afraid of it when the munich conspiracy took place in 1938. let's say the spinelessness in submitting to the politics of nazism. the soviet union also used it very, very successfully for its ideology and

the first state, in fact, the first state in the world is carpathian ukraine, which spoke out against nazism, it was ridiculed in the texts of hitler , who called them bugs there, who cynically mocked and he actually supported the occupation carried out by the hungarians under the sanctions of hitler. it was the 38th year, it was the 39th year, it was the beginning of exactly these events, march of the 39th year, and when already in september, the germans announced this speech against poland was already the occupied territory of poland, then the soviet union brilliantly took advantage of the fact that, by implementing the molotov-ribbentrop pact, the august treaty , which was previously secretly signed , to seize its part of the territory and establish its own model of government, that is, on august 23, 1939 , these events took place negotiations, there is a non-aggression pact agreement concluded, because the dictator is trying to protect himself in a certain way

, to get that support, and accordingly , for hitler, it is important to have stalin v allies, taking into account the opposition of britain and france, and the beginning of the second world war actually comes that september, september 1, and in a short time, we have the order of the soviet government and, firstly, the restrained demobilization of more than 300,000 hryvnias of soviet soldiers, officers are not demobilized, that is, the composition is increasing of the army, an additional mobilization was later announced , and already on september 14, this campaign of the soviet army to the western territories of ukraine began, and this image of the so-called golden september entered history for many decades geography was used for soviet propaganda as a supposed declaration of the policy of reunification, but in fact for the galician lands it became a period of such a bloody massacre and the inclusion

of that part of the land that was not yet under soviet power in the composition of this totalitarian machine to manipulate on the 19th of september and 1939, those units of the red army that entered lviv were often staffed with ukrainians from eastern central ukraine, even military personnel. well, the chiefs were military and the military chiefs were also mostly from ukrainians so that there would be an impression that this is really a unity and at first it was that this is how this exists, so mythically talking about good muscovites and bad muscovites that these in the year 39 were as if they were good . of course, that is, such an illusion of this liberation was created and even when there were, when this military occupation had already taken place, when the so-called people 's assembly was convened , there were about 50,000 agitators working in the western territories of ukraine , people were involved who were actually supposed to conduct

, explain, convince, and conduct the actual this propaganda, showing that this is, as it were, the reunification, was declaratively declared to be ukrainization, well, how is the better term used , and so that is, as if the polonization of the territory was declaratively ukrainized; to taras shevchenko ivan franko, that is , such slogans were declared that were supposed to capture, that were supposed to convince the local population because there was a long period of struggle for their rights within the framework of, say, other political models in in poland, romania, bukovina, and so on. in bukovina, e.e. transcarpathia, he somehow created a certain illusion of finding a different management model, so the first month it was such a propaganda campaign when ukrainians from ethnic ethnic ukrainians who were in

the red army who came with that state apparatus they declared such very seemingly positive messages. well, some time passed and it gradually became clear that in reality it would not be like the october people's assembly. they showed how unappealable and er how instrumental is this instrumental and this . the so-called soviet democracy is important. your colleague here is all that i will interrupt again. hrytsak writes about the fact that it was unprecedented violence . anyone could become a victim for no reason. both regimes were murderous. i mean the nazi regime, but in the german sense there were certain rules of the game and there was a chance that you had a chance to win, but in the soviet system there were no rules at all, there was a general feeling that no one was protected, even the most loyal to the soviet authorities could not orient defense from arrest due to repression. this was a civilizational catastrophe. what did the people of lviv, galicians, feel under this oppression? more than

half a million people of the western region of ukraine in the period from 39 to 41 were evicted, deported due to oppression. if you take the population of vova, then lviv lost about a third of the population, er, these are ukrainians, poles, jews who were either deported or repressed accordingly, and this is literally in less than two years, in less than two years , to be honest, this happened before the middle of the 40s, that is, literally in six months several months of such liberal declarations, and immediately from december, active repressive measures were started, which lasted until the end of the soviet occupation . it is interesting that when the germans entered lviv, they did nothing to promote their power, they simply opened a prison on lonsky and invited people to see all over the west of ukraine there were similar torture prisons where people were kept and where their remains were simply identified, people were killed

with grenades in the basements to save ammunition . this is simply scary in the 20s of june 41 year 2.5 thousand people were destroyed only in the prison, the difference, mr. vasyl, is that now ukraine is trying to decommunize its heritage, and we see it below. this is being dismantled, so she said, more correctly, the monuments are being dismantled , but the numbers are being removed from the monuments, some are removing some are not and somewhere there are numbers left, for example, how long the second war 41-45 lasted, there is no 39,45 i did not see anywhere that it was mentioned in the central media that on september 17 , 1939, or in september, 1939 , zahidna was occupied.

this is actually a question not only of what needs to be dismantled, but what do we replace these symbols with? if we take these post-war myths , then this was one of the most painful myths that destroyed the unity of ukraine, that created such a distorted vision of that context, but it is extremely important for us now that ukrainians understand , when interpreting the events of the 30s and 40s, that the second world war the world war is a period since the 39th year and that ukrainians are its participants from the first days ukrainians can be said to be the first victims even after the declaration of these hostilities because i already mentioned that there is carpathian ukraine because there are ukrainians in the polish army who actually participate in e.e. protect their territories protect their lands for example e.e. undo, a ukrainian

large-scale political organization , declared through the mouths of its leaders that we must protect this land, even though this state is not ours, but in this case we must protect it their homes uh that's why in fact uh this is extremely important uh such uh such a thesis and this myth must be deconstructed without warning you know recently there was such a new advertisement appeared russian social well social i don't know in which they call there with the help of this advertisement sign up for contracts in the russian army to fight there and the essence of it. if you haven't seen it, maybe the audience didn't see it, i'll briefly say that they are there, as if soldiers are training to fight there, can i include it if it is somewhere , uh, not at hand, because it's just well, this is the height of cynicism, we have nothing to be surprised by those russians, but still, they know how to surprise uh and know how to shock , so to speak. here is this advertisement. this is how you can

watch the pechersk hills in kyiv. this center lives in a cool area. that's a dream, i have an apartment. i want to buy there, the war will end, we will return to kiev, and i will not move there, choose yourself from your dreams. i just remembered how one of my acquaintances once wrote somewhere in social networks the memories of his grandfather, who wrote that in the 41st year, we had to retreat on foot, and now we had to leave your native

hometown, hometown, city, hometown, home, etc., with one big correction, this is written by a person who was an officer in the army or the nkvd, i don’t know what is there in the city of rivne, that is, where they went less than two years ago, and this is already their hometown город и родной дом, it seems to me that today, in recent years, the whole of ukraine has felt what lviv felt and what western ukraine felt in 1939, because as now , so then, there is such a lovinized population that was mobilized and directed by the army uh, it was coming, they were robbing uh housing is huge, a huge number of resettled deported people were vacated, housing, apartments, they occupied this space, and in fact, when you know how many years ago vinnychuk's book tango of death was published, many russians were such parents
