| | The leadership of the Ukrainian diaspora revolved around small groups of people in Ukraine, [[Europe]], and [[America]]. From 1986- 2003 the leader of the OUNb was Slava Stetsko. Stetsko gained the mantle from her husband who died in 1986, Yaroslav Stetsko. He was the right hand to Stepan Bandera. Stetsko is the only Axis WWII leader who can claim eventual victory over the Allies even though this trio were responsible for the first [[Holocaust]] of World War II. It was the mass execution of over 30,000 Jews at Babi Yar. They starved 3 million war prisoners to death in Ukraine. They tortured and murdered close to half million Ukrainians. And they were never tried in court for these crimes.<ref>http://thesaker.is/ukraine-was-right-why-russia-is-the-biggest-threat-in-the-world/</ref> | | The leadership of the Ukrainian diaspora revolved around small groups of people in Ukraine, [[Europe]], and [[America]].
