Abstract

"Enemy Archives: Soviet Counterinsurgency Operations and the Ukrainian Nationalist Movement" edited by Volodymyr Viatrovych and Lubomyr Luciuk delves into the historical complexities of Ukrainian nationalism and Soviet counterinsurgency operations. The book presents a collection of archival documents shedding light on the activities of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during the mid-20th century. Through meticulous research and analysis, the editors challenge simplistic narratives, offering a nuanced understanding of the Ukrainian nationalist movement and its resistance against various occupying forces. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and policymakers seeking to explore the intricate history of nationalist movements in Europe, particularly in Ukraine, and to counteract biased historical accounts perpetuated by Soviet and Russian propaganda."
