The '''Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists''' ('''OUN''') was formed in 1929 by merger of several Ukrainian resistance movements to [[Bolshevik]] control of the [[Ukraine]]. In the early days of the [[Cold War]], the OUN was known to British and American intelligence as 'the [[Gehlen]] organization.'<ref>https://irp.fas.org/world/germany/intro/gehlen.htm</ref> The Soviet Union declared the OUN a terrorist organization.<ref>Originally Yehvan Konovelets UNR army and several other groups.</ref>

The OUNb reorganized itself within Ukraine as the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (CUN) and registered as a political party in January 1993.<ref> [http://www.da-ta.com.ua/mon_mainnews/815.htm Конгресс Українських Націоналістів], Database DATA</ref>. Until her death in 2003, CUN was headed by Slava Stetsko, widow of Yaroslav Stetsko.  In 1939, Yaroslav Stetsko published an article in which he claimed that Jews were "nomads and parasites", a nation of "swindlers" and "egotists" whose aim was to "corrupt the heroic culture of warrior nations". Stetsko also railed against the supposed conspiracy between Jewish capitalists and Jewish Communists.  According to Ukrainian nationalist scholar Taraz Kuzio, in 1945, Yaroslav Stetsko was still asking [[Adolf Hitler]] for armies to continue the fight on the Eastern front against the [[Allied Powers of World War II]].<ref>https://www.opednews.com/articles/Russian-Hacking-the-Electi-by-George-Eliason-Coup_Euromaidan_Russian-Influence_Ukraine-161219-878.html</ref> 

OUN's leaders living abroad, including in the [[United States]], did not want to openly enter Ukrainian politics, and attempted to imbue this party with a democratic, moderate facade.<ref>Andrew Wilson.

Formed in 1943, it was largely destroyed in the battle of Brody, reformed, and saw action in [[Slovakia]], [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Austria]] before being renamed the first division of the Ukrainian National Army and surrendering to the Western Allies by 10 May 1945.

Volodymyr Kubiyovych (Ukrainian Father Jewish Mother) founded this Division in order for Ukrainians to aid the Ukrainian Insurgent Army with weapons.

Along with the Roland Battalion it was one of two military units formed February 25, 1941 by head of the Abwehr Adm.

The [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] contends that between June 30 and July 3, 1941, in the days that the Battalion was in [[Lviv]] the Nachtigall soldiers together with the German army and the local Ukrainians participated in the killings of Jews in the city. The pretext for the [[pogrom]] was a rumor that the Jews were responsible for the execution of prisoners by the Soviets before the 1941 Soviet withdrawal from Lviv.

==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-float|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.}}
A 1941 OUN(b) manifesto stated that
{{Quotebox-float|"during the time of chaos and confusion, we should take the opportunity to liquidate undesirable Poles, Muscovites, and Jews, especially the supporters of Bolshevik-Muscovite imperialism."}}

==Cold War==
[[President Harry Truman]] approved the creation of a [[guerrilla]] army code-named “Nightingale” in Ukraine. Originally setup by the Nazis in 1941, it was made up of ultra-nationalists. They would, as [[Oliver Stone]] described in his documentary ''Untold History'',<ref>https://shadowproof.com/2012/12/10/oliver-stones-untold-history-the-birth-of-the-secret-state/</ref> wreak havoc on the “famine-wrecked region where Soviet control was loose, carrying out the murder of thousands of Jews, Soviets and Poles, who opposed a separate Ukrainian state.” The CIA would parachute “infiltrators” into the country as well to further “dislodge Soviet control.”

American historian and former Under Secretary of the Air Force  Townsend Hoopes and Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley confirm:
[[File:UKR Stetsko-Yaroslav-george-h-w-bush 68.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Nazi era and later Gehlen Organization OUN leader Yaroslav Stetsko with former CIA chief and Vice President George H.W.

{{quotebox-float|One group that particularly attracted CIA attention and support was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), a political-military underground movement that had long fought for Ukrainian independence—first against the Poles in the 1920s when Poland controlled the Ukraine and after 1939 against the Soviets. ‘Though violently anti-Russian, the OUN was itself totalitarian and Fascist in character. as well as anti-Semitic. The Nazis poured money into the OUN after the German invasion of Russia and pretended to support the goal of Ukrainian national independence. In return, a large OUN militia, code-named Nachtigall, or Nightingale, provided local administrators, informers, and killers for the German invaders. Nazi-sponsored OUN police and militia formations were involved in “thousands of instances of [[mass murder]]s of Jews and of families suspected of aiding [[Red Army]] [[partisan]]s.”<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=lNzdwQOl8g0C&pg=PT279&lpg=PT279&dq=nightingale+forrestal+ukraine&source=bl&ots=UAWR1ceIV7&sig=sahFMpzYMG-4ZA9wGJ2LwrTS0dc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NxNnU86cGY_eoASAvYCgBg#v=onepage&q=nightingale%20forrestal%20ukraine&f=false]</ref>}}

When the Germans were driven out of the Ukraine, many OUN members who had served the Nazis’ police formations and execution squads fled with them, but several thousand retreated into the [[Carpathian Mountains]] to fight another day. This remaining Nightingale group fascinated the [[CIA]] and was recruited essentially ''en bloc''. Its leaders were brought to the [[United States]] for training.  Nightingale leaders were then parachuted into the Ukraine to link up with their compatriots and to carry out measures of subversion, agitation, and [[sabotage]], including [[assassination]].  The leader of the Nightingale group was Stepan Bandera. 

In 1997 a former U.S. [[national security advisor]] and high-level Obama policy advisor called for the U.S. to take Ukraine away from Russia.

A month before the Maidan Revolution in February 2014, [[Obama administration]] Assistant US Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia [[Victoria Nuland]], wife of [[Neocon]] [[Robert Kagan]], announced plans to promote a “new government” in Ukraine. The leader of the “protests” in February 2014 which ousted [[President Yanukovych]] was a [[neo-Nazi]] and follower of Stepan Bandera.<ref>https://washingtonsblog.com/2014/05/america-backed-fascists-ukraine-73-years-ago.html</ref>

==Ukrainian diaspora and Independence==
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>

Instead, they financed the radicalization of Ukraine and radical political parties starting before 1989. The biggest influence proved to be bringing back OUNb children groups from the Diaspora. These children groups were still labeled by the CIA as Bandera terrorist groups until the 1980’s.<ref>https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/QRPLUMB%20%20%20VOL.%201_0004.pdf</ref> During WWII they planted bombs and murdered civilians that disagreed with Nazi ideology.

In far-flung Nazi strongholds like [[New York]], [[Boston]], Stamford, [[Philadelphia]], and Geelong, [[Australia]] emigre kids are still taught that Stepan Bandera is a saint to be worshiped and a perfect person that they need to model their lives after.  Bandera ordered his followers to rape, torture, and murder; men, women, and children as a sign of heroism and dedication to the cause of his nationalism. This is why it is so prevalent today with the Ukrainian volunteer battalions like Pravy Sector, Azov, Donbas, Kiev Rus, or [[Aidar]].<ref>''When Nazi Hands Rock American Cradles'', GH Eliason.</ref>

Even Ukrainian state symbolism which was given by the emigres celebrates this today by integrating the 3 prong pitch fork (trident- 3 tooth) as the national symbol for Ukraine. In WWII, the 3 prong pitchfork was a favorite tool for murder and torture by Bandera’s OUNb and they found it especially useful when used on small children as a torture for parents. Victoria Nuland grew up in these children groups and in the Obama administration was setting [[foreign policy]] regarding [[Eastern Europe]] and Russia.
[[File:Azov-bn.gif|right|350px|thumb|The Obama State Department colluded with the fascist [[Azov Battalion]] to overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine in the [[Euromaidan Rebellion]] and install a corrupt regime that included [[fascist]]s.]]
In Stamford, [[Connecticut]] on October 16, 2011 it was reported, 
{{quotebox-float|members of the 54th branch of CYM “Khersones” in Stamford, CT attended a mass and requiem service in honor of the great Ukrainian hero and freedom fighter, Stepan Bandera…The SUM members and the faithful present that day enjoyed a beautiful and emotional homily about the life and achievements of Stepan Bandera delivered by Reverend Bohdan Danylo, Rector of St. Basil’s Seminary in Stamford.<br>He instructed the children on how they can model their own lives on Bandera’s by following his example of self-sacrifice and unwavering dedication to his country. Following the homily, Father Bohdan distributed candles to each child which burned brightly during a stirring execution of the prayer “Vichnaya Pam’yat” in honor of the great hero of the Ukrainian nation.”<ref>http://archive.cym.org/us/stamford/archives/2011bandera.asp</ref>}}

Ukrainian nationalist scholar, Taras Kuzio goes on to say that CYM was set up in East Ukraine to indoctrinate [[Donbass]] children into integral nationalism and Plast was set up in West Ukraine in 1989. Adolf Hitler’s nationalism, like the Ukrainian emigre, is called integral nationalism. “Integral” means you answer to the ideology in every aspect of your life and every decision is checked against the ideology.  The emigres today, regardless of what country they live in hold the same type of Nazi ideology (integral nationalism) Adolf Hitler had for Germany as being more precious than their own lives.

By February 1991 it started to pay off in Ukraine. Radical nationalism exploded among the youth, and Rukh, which was Ukraine’s leading nationalist party attracted them. The youth called for the party to adopt the mythologized version of the OUN ideology. The OUNr (OUNb and m) were supporting the groups financially and ideologically promoting radical nationalism.<ref>''Radical Nationalist Parties And Movements In Contemporary Ukraine Before And After Independence: The Right And Its Politics, 1989-1994'', Taras Kuzio.</ref>

According to Ukrainian apologist [[Anne Applebaum]] -“…rather than acknowledging that nationalism is fundamentally emotional. In truth, you can’t really make ‘the case’ for nationalism; you can only inculcate it, teach it to children, cultivate it at public events.”<ref>Anne Applebaum historian for UCCA history project (Wife of Poland’s Foreign Minister, [[Radoslaw Sikorski]].</ref>

Just before Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union, Ukrainian nationalist forces in Ukraine and the Diaspora identified the greatest threat to their take-over project in Ukraine was a flourishing Russian democracy. Taras Kuzio wrote,
{{quotebox|“Originally, in 1990, the SNUM-nationalists and the UNS(Ukrainian nationalist groups) espoused “revolutionary nationalism” (the ideology of the emigre OUNr). ..”The enemy of the Ukrainian administration is Russian democracy. The only weapon for it is state independence.” Hence, the UNA believed that Kravchuk’s anathema for Russian democracy would have transformed itself into support for authoritarianism and nationalism within an independent Ukraine, especially as both the UNA and the national communists supported state-based (not ethnic) nationalism and allegiance to independent Ukraine… The vote in favour of independence, which was made by the population of Ukraine, was not the result of the activity of the so-called ‘democratic forces’ (apart from, possibly, in the territory of western Ukraine), but was the result of the turn towards independence of the higher organs of power in Ukraine, as was seen in the election of Kravchuk as president of Ukraine,” claimed Melnyk, head of the UNA executive”}}
Andreas Umland and Anton Shekhovstsov wrote in 2013:
{{quotebox|In 1990, one of the best known nationalist parties—the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA), headed by Dmytro Korchyns'kyi—was established in Lviv… In Ukraine itself, the UNA-UNSD became a media phenomenon, not least thanks to its deliberate provocation aimed at [[left-wing]] and pro-[[Russian]] forces and its frequent clashes with the police. But the UNA had little political success… The second best-known ultraright party to emerge at the beginning of the 1990s was the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (CUN)—a direct heir of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Bandera) (OUN-B), which Stepan Bandera headed in 1940 after a split in the original OUN. The continuity between the OUN-B and the CUN was ensured by the return from emigration of Iaroslava Stets'ko, [Slava  Stetsko] a former member of the OUN-B and the widow of Iaroslav Stets'ko [Yaroslav Stetsko], one of the leaders of the OUN-B and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.}}

Russian hacking claims of DNC servers in the Spring of 2016 rely entirely on a report by CrowdStrike.<ref>https://www.voanews.com/usa/think-tank-cyber-firm-center-russian-hacking-charges-misread-data</ref> Despite repeated requests from the FBI, Crowdstrike and the DNC refused to turn over evidence.<ref>https://slate.com/technology/2017/05/the-fbi-is-harder-to-trust-on-the-dnc-hack-because-it-relied-on-crowdstrikes-analysis.html</ref> The [[Obama  administration]] never examined the DNC servers to determine if indeed they were hacked, or attempted to identify who the hacker might have been.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2019/06/17/fbi-never-saw-crowdstrike-unredacted-or-final-report-on-alleged-russian-hacking-because-none-was-produced/</ref>  On July 25, 2019, [[President Trump]] requested [[President Zelensky]] of Ukraine to assist in recovering evidence from Crowdstrike, which contracts with the Ukrainian military.<ref>https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-mentioned-crowdstrike-to-ukrainian-president-and-crowdstrike-doesnt-seem-to-know-why-2019-09-25</ref>
:*According to journalist and DNC activist Andrea Chalupa on her Facebook page “After Chalupa sent the email to Miranda (which mentions that she had invited this reporter to a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in Washington),<ref>https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/3962</ref> it triggered high-level concerns within the DNC, given the sensitive nature of her work. “That’s when we knew it was the Russians,” said a [[Democratic Party]] source who has been directly involved in the internal probe into the hacked emails. In order to stem the damage, the source said, “we told her to stop her research.”” July 25, 2016
:*If she was that close to the investigation Crowdstrike did how credible is she? Her sister Alexandra was named one of 16 people that shaped the election by Yahoo news. '''The DNC hacking investigation done by Crowdstrike concluded hacking was done by Russian actors based on the work done by Alexandra Chalupa? That is the conclusion of her sister Andrea Chalupa and obviously enough for Crowdstrike to make the Russian government connection.''' 
:*How close is Dimitri Alperovitch to DNC officials? Close enough professionally he should have stepped down from an investigation that had the chance of throwing a presidential election in a new direction.  According to Esquire.com, Alperovitch has vetted speeches for Hillary Clinton about cyber security issues in the past. Because of his work on the Sony hack, President Barrack Obama personally called and said the measures taken were directly because of his work.
:*Alperovitch’s relationships with the Chalupas, radical groups, think tanks, Ukrainian propagandists, and Ukrainian state supported hackers [show a conflict of interest]. When it all adds up and you see it together, we have found a Russian that tried hard to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in 2016.
