Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists

Організація українських націоналістів


The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was a far-right Ukrainian ultranationalist and fascist group. During the Great Patriotic War, the OUN, led by Stepan Bandera, killed over 100,000 people, including many Jews, Poles and communists.[1]

War crimes

The OUN killed thousands of civilians, including many Jews, in pogroms in Lviv and Rivne in July 1941 and 1942, respectively. They also committed massacres at Khatyn in Belarus and Babin Yar near Kyiv and killed over 100,000 Poles in Volhynia and Galicia.[1]
