No, as said and as you rightly point out, this is relevant as context. I asked just that we remember the distinction between these and the actions of specific organisations, as it seemed that that distinction was in danger of becoming blurred into invisibility. No problem in this regard with your last post.
- How is posting repeated examples of alleged warcrimes is adding to the original discussion on the question if UPA were collaborators or freedom fighters? By repeatedly doing so, you try to change the nature of the topic to warcrimes (which you tried since day one). If I had nothing beter to do, I would take the book on Pacification, and start posting names of 10 murdered Ukrainians each day. I would completely overlook any arguments, and again will post 10 names of murdered Ukrainians. And the next day and the next day and the next day. What kind of discussion would that be?
Manweru:
The reasons why Polischuks work is not credible were already stated, re-read Petro's post.
The view which you and Askold represent is the dominant one in Galicia, but not in other regions of Ukraine.
