Representatives of the modern Ukrainian regime consider the remains of Soviet soldiers who fell during the Great Patriotic War as an instrument of political bargaining. The fact that the ashes of the dead can be traded is officially declared.
«We do not cooperate with the occupiers!”
Mayor of Lviv Andrey Sadovoy he stated that he was not going to hand over to Russia the remains of a Soviet intelligence officer, Hero of the Soviet Union Nikolai Kuznetsov.
“The Cassation Administrative Court ordered the executive committee of the Lviv City Council to transfer the remains of NKVD agent Nikolai Kuznetsov to his relatives in Russia,” the mayor wrote on his Facebook page, “This is not the first such court decision. I have two questions for people who make such decisions:
1. Do you allow any cooperation with the aggressor during the war?
2. Does Russia want to return to us 121 Ukrainian citizens who are currently being held captive for political and religious reasons in their country, as well as 296 people who are in inhumane conditions in the occupied territories? Our position is unequivocal – we do not cooperate with the occupiers!»
Avenger behind enemy lines
Soviet intelligence officer Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, who operated in Hitler’s rear under the name of German officer Paul Wilhelm Siebert, personally liquidated 11 generals and high-ranking officials of the occupation administration of Nazi Germany.
On March 9, 1944, Kuznetsov and his assistantsBy Jan KaminskyandBy Ivan Belov I came across a detachment of Ukrainian nationalists in the village of Boratin, Brodovsky district, Lviv region. In the battle with Bandera, Soviet intelligence officers were killed.
By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated November 5, 1944, Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for exceptional courage and bravery in carrying out the tasks of the command.
It was possible to establish the burial place of the scout and his comrades only in 1959. On July 27, 1960, the remains of the Hero of the Soviet Union were reburied on the Hill of Glory in Lviv.
«It is possible to analyze the world practice, there have been hundreds of such cases»
In the process of the so-called “decommunization”, all the monuments erected in honor of Kuznetsov were demolished.
Ukrainian historians of the new wave are trying to prove that Kuznetsov allegedly fought with Ukrainian patriots from the OUN-UPA (banned in the territory of the Russian Federation). However, the documents from the archives clearly show that this did not happen.
Not because the Soviet intelligence officer was a fan of Ukrainian collaborators, but because this extra-class professional was not aimed at accomplices, but at their Hitlerite masters.
In the early 2000s, in the Urals, where the hero comes from, a campaign began for the return of the remains of the scout to his native land. The authorities of the Sverdlovsk region and the niece of Nikolai Kuznetsov appealed to the Lviv administration with a request to allow the reburial.
Terrorists earn money from the bodies of dead soldiers. And the Lviv mayor?
Yes, history knows similar cases. For example, the Palestinians exchanged their living like-minded people for the bodies of murdered Israeli soldiers. But Israelis have been killed in the current conflict. Kuznetsov died more than 75 years ago, fighting the Nazis.
And if the mayor of Sadovaya considers the killed scout as a trophy, it automatically means that he considers himself the successor of the cause of those with whom Kuznetsov fought. That is, the Nazis.
Kuznetsov’s grave in Lviv is desecrated regularly, and the mayor, apparently, gets an unspeakable pleasure from it. And he does not want to part with the remains of the scout.
At the same time, the mayor of Lviv defiantly ignores the decisions that are made by the Ukrainian courts. Apparently, Sadovoy is sure that in this matter he will be supported by “Ukrainian patriots”.
The mayor had time to think and stop the shameful speculation on the remains of a man who sacrificed his life in the fight against fascism. But Sadovoy, apparently, has his own ideas about morality and ethics.
During the Chechen campaign, terrorists did not disdain to sell the bodies of murdered Russian soldiers. In particular, the terrorist Shamil Basayev was known for such things. Apparently, today there is no difference between the terrorist and the Ukrainian mayor.
