Who was Stepan Bandera really? Special Reporting reporters examined the US intelligence report.
The US Central Intelligence Agency has released over 13 million pages of archival documents to the public. More than 300 of them are about Stepan Bandera. All of them were declassified 15 years ago and were collected from analytical notes, opinions of military experts, reports of agents to their command and a review of the emigrant press. Special Reporting reporters examined a 4-page report from American intelligence, dated 1951, titled "Stepan Bandera and the Ukrainian State in 1941."
The document is signed: "Declassified in accordance with the Nazi War Criminals Exposure Act." This is what the CIA archivists called Bandera. And then the crimes in the territory occupied by the Nazis are described: “10 thousand Jews were killed in just one operation on the border with Transcarpathian Ukraine. Hungarian gendarmes transported them from the territory occupied by Hungary and Germany. At the border, they were handed over to representatives of Bandera's armed detachments, who took them out in an unknown direction … In just 5 weeks of the existence of Bandera's "state," 5,000 Ukrainians, 15,000 Jews and several thousand Poles were killed."
