The OUN's stated immediate goal was the re-establishment of a united, quasi-independent [[Nazi]]-aligned, mono-ethnic [[nation state]] on the territory that would include parts of modern day Russia, [[Poland]], and [[Belarus]]. Violence was accepted as a political tool against foreign as well as domestic enemies of their cause, which was to be achieved by a national revolution led by a [[dictatorship]] that would drive out what they considered to be occupying powers and set up a government representing all regions and social classes.<ref>Myroslav Yurkevich, Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiia ukrainskykh natsionalistiv) ''This article originally appeared in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, vol. 3 (1993).''</ref>

==Ideology==
The ideology of the organization was heavily influenced by the philosophy of [[Nietzsche]], German [[National Socialism]] and Italian [[Fascism]]; combining extreme nationalism with [[terrorism]], [[corporatism]], and [[anti-Semitism]],<ref>''[http://carlbeckpapers.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/cbp/article/viewFile/164/160 The OUN, the UPA and the Holocaust: A Study in the Manufacturing of Historical Myths]'', Per Anders Rudling, The Carl Beck Papers in Russian & East European Studies, University of Pittsburgh, Number 2107, November 2011, p. 3 (6 of 76 in PDF).</ref> as well as [[totalitarianism]] and anti-[[democracy]].
In order to create an illusion that the Ukrainian brand of nationalism was a product of domestic development, most early OUN writers denied their ideological connection to fascism in a self-deceptive manner, contradicting generally known facts.<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=bGPjqNGPc40C&lpg=PA286&vq=Fascists%20Union&pg=PA285 Heroes and Villains: Creating National History in Contemporary Ukraine]'', David R. Marples, Central European University Press, 2007, pages 285–286.</ref> According to its initial declaration, the primary goal of OUN was to establish an independent and ethnically pure Ukrainian state.<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=HDpgBgAAQBAJ&q=OUN+fascist Hitler's Europe Ablaze: Occupation, Resistance, and Rebellion during World War II]'', Philip Cooke & Ben Shepherd, Skyhorse Publishing, 2014, page 336.</ref> This goal was to be achieved by a national revolution, that would drive out all foreign element and set up an authoritarian state led by a strong man. The OUN's leadership felt that past attempts at securing independence failed due to the presence of democratic values in society, poor party discipline, and a conciliatory attitude towards Ukraine's traditional enemies.
{{quotebox|The OUN shared the fascist attributes of antiliberalism, anticonservatism, and anticommunism, an armed party, totalitarianism, anti-Semitism, ''Führerprinzip'', and an adoption of fascist greetings. Its leaders eagerly emphasized to Hitler and [[Ribbentrop]] that they shared the [[Nazi]] ''[[Weltanschauung]]'' and a commitment to a fascist New Europe.}}
