About the book: 2018 / Russian-language edition of the book. Its author, Soviet and Ukrainian historian Vitaly Ivanovich Maslovsky, was found dead in the entrance of his house shortly after its publication in October 1999. And only almost 17 years later, V. Maslovsky’s book was translated from Ukrainian into Russian. Translator Sergei Vasilievich Aleksandrov, writer and publicist, supplemented it, with an eye to current history, with his notes and comments. The materials published in this serious work by V. Maslovsky are shocking, but true. How could it be otherwise? After all, from the pages of this book, both the executioners and murderers themselves and their masters confess to its readers. Therefore, many prefer not to know this truth, many prefer to forget. Nevertheless, this is History. Just the way she is. No statute of limitations... ATTENTION! The organizations UNA-UNSO, OUN and UPA mentioned in the book are recognized as extremist in Russia, and their activities are prohibited in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation №114.
