History 15/03/20 What Bandera did after the Amnesty of Khrushchev in 1955
a Huge part of Bandera was convicted in Stalin’s time, under article 58 of the criminal code, which began in 1948. The time was considerable – 25-year prison term. But with the advent of Khrushchev, the cases are reviewed. And a considerable part of the prisoners, but not completely punishment, were released.
Khrushchev was looking for justification for Bandera
Most of the Bandera from the punitive actions of the Soviet government were not injured and suffered no real punishment that did not go in any comparison with the atrocities perpetrated by members and sympathizers of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists (OUN)* on the territory of Soviet Ukraine.
the Soviet government was forced to make such concessions for several reasons. One of them is political. Widely known fact that after the reign of Nikita Khrushchev, the majority of prisoners were amnestied. They went to the place of permanent residence.
News of the Amnesty
Nikita Khrushchev in their memoranda to Joseph Stalin wrote about the great importance of the Amnesty among the population living in the Western regions of the Ukrainian SSR. Even the news of the Amnesty has contributed to the transition from bandits in the forest, to a normal life among the people. Here’s what he wrote Khrushchev on August 4, 1945: “From 1 June to 1 August were surrendered: bandits – 5117, deserters and evading from an appeal in Red Army – 21 663 people.”
the Government tried to socialize these people. There were frequent instances of social compromise, whose primary purpose was to find ideological approaches toward former supporters of Stepan Bandera.
Relocation to other regions of the country
Many families in search of a better life decided to leave their native places to other regions of the country. So, on the Upper don had settled a few families that were previously preverently of Stepan Bandera. Initially they concealed the truth about himself, but gradually the hamlet residents learned that the neighbors with a distinctive Ukrainian dialect inherent in the Western regions, settled near them.
Marriage of convenience
the Unmarried women tried to marry men nonresident. Over time, these families were having children, and no one could tell that this woman was the accomplice of Bandera gangs. Although the local population often conflictual and in the heat of the dispute, the excited residents of the village could still say in the face of obesity that she’s an evil banderovka. Indeed, the distinctive character of the new residents were unsociable and a heightened sense of self-worth. However, this did not prevent them to work successfully in the Soviet collective and state farms. And their children could finish school and then study in the Soviet institutes. So gradually Bandera followers assimilated into Soviet society, and their descendants, often had no relationship to violent Ukrainian movement.
Having a house and farm could each banderovets
Many former Bandera remained permanently in the Krasnoyarsk region. Many of them took on the job with the forestry administration, there are no restrictions on employment did not exist. They were allocated a house or apartment where they could safely breed the household, to plant in your vegetable garden fruits and vegetables. There were frequent cases of appointment to senior positions, of Bandera, who had at least some education. The local inhabitants of one of settlements of the Krasnoyarsk region (it was called Mikhaylovka) recalled that the head of one of the forest plots was appointed the person serving a former sentence for involvement in a criminal group. But this did not prevent him from becoming a Director after serving his sentence.
the Amnesty of 1955
Another relief has occurred after the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, which emerged on September 17, 1955. It calledI “On the Amnesty of Soviet citizens who collaborated with the invaders during the great Patriotic war in 1941-1945”. According to this decree in their hometown, returning the ardent Bandera not only from abroad, but from the Soviet camps.
In the 80-ies of the conviction did not take into account
According to various sources, rehabilitated nationalists are already in the 70-ies to lead the district committees, regional Executive committees. A considerable part of able to obtain positions in the ministries and departments of the South-Western, Western and Central Ukraine. According to the Soviet party archives to the 80-th years of the last century, members of district committees and regional committees of the party in Western Ukraine on the Ukrainian nationality, who during the years 1955-1959 received rehabilitation. The share of such employees has been significant and has reached to different parts of the country from 35 percent to 50 percent.
