details of death

During World War I 1914‑1918, mobilized into the Russian Imperial Army.

After the fall of tsarism in 02.1917, a member of the Ukr. Українська Центральна Рада (Eng. Ukrainian Central Council), founded on 17.03.1917 in Kiev, and later subordinated to the Ukr. Всеукраїнська Рада військових депутатів (Eng. All–Ukrainian Council of Military Deputies). After the Bolshevik coup in 11.1917 in Russia a member of Ukr. Крайовий комітет з охорони революції в Україні (Eng. National Committee for the Protection of the Revolution in Ukraine) — functioning only a few days.

After the Ukrainian Central Council announced on 22.01.1918 in Kiev the independence of Ukraine as the Ukrainian People's Republic UPR, became conductor of the Ukrainian State Choir and co–organizer of the State Symphony Orchestra. During the Russian–Ukrainian War of 1918‑1920, moved with the UPR leadership and the troops of General Simon Petlura to subsequent seats of its authorities, including to Kamyanets–Podilskyi where worked at the Ministry of Roads.

After the Ukrainian defeat, during the Polish–Russian war of 1919‑1921, moved to the territory of independent Poland. Joined the movement seeking to establish an autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Poland. The attempt failed, and the Polish authorities, for pro–Ukrainian activities, arrested him on 01.04.1925. Nine days later was released.

In 1930‑1935 a member of the Parlament — Seym — of the Republic of Poland of the third term on behalf of the BBWR party — co‑founder of the Volyn Ukrainian Union, a political party striving for Ukrainian autonomy within the Polish state.

After German and Russian invasion of Poland in 09.1939 and start of the World War II, after start of Russian occupation, arrested by the Russians in 12.1939.

Held in Volodimir–Volynsky prison.

On 29.04.1940 brought to Kiev.

There on 08.05.1940 driven out in unknown direction and murdered.

His name is on the so‑called „Tsvetukhin's list”, i.e. a report that was sent from Kiev to the 1st Special Department of the NKVD in Moscow on 25.11.1940 — one of the available lists of Poles genocidally murdered by the NKVD as part of the mass murder known as the «Katyn genocide» (known also as „Ukrainian Katyn List”). The report contains 3,435 names of people killed on the basis of one of 33 „disposition lists” — lists sent from the NKVD headquarters, based on the decisions of the Special NKVD College, i.e. the genocidal kangaroo court known as the «NKVD Troika», to the local NKVD center responsible for executions. The said report states that his name was on the „disposition list” No. 43/2 item 62 (though „disposition list” itself has not been found).

Bykivnya: In 1940 Russians executed in Kiev, in 17 Korolyenky Str. building, an unknown number of Poles (POWs) — on a so‑called „Ukrainian death list” there are 3,435 names; the other quoted number is 4,181). The bodies were buried prob. in a forest in Bykivnya n. Kiev. This was a fulfillment of Russian Commie–Nazi government decision — Political Bureau of the Russian Commie–Nazi party of 05.03.1940 — to exterminate Polish intelligentsia and individuals held in Russian POW camps following Ribbentrop–Molotov German–Russian accord and annexation of half of Poland into Russia, confirmed by the order No.00350 of the head of the NKVD, Mr Lavrentyi Beria, on the „discharge of NKVD prisons” in Ukraine and Belarus. There are indications — i.e. 4 so‑called „NKVD–Gestapo Methodical Conferences” of 1939‑1940: in Brześć on Bug, Przemyśl, Zakopane and Cracow — of close collaboration between Germans and Russians in realization of plans of total extermination of Polish nation, its elites in particular — decision that prob. was confirmed during meeting of socialist leaders of Germany: Mr Heinrich Himmler, and Russia: Mr Lavrentyi Beria, in another German leader’s hunting lodge: Mr Hermann Göring, in Rominty in Romincka Forest in East Prussia.

«Katyn genocide 1940»: On 05.03.1940, the Russian Commie–Nazi authorities — the Politburo of the Russian Communist Party — made a formal decision to exterminate tens of thousands of Polish intelligentsia and military personnel held in Russian camps as a consequence of the German–Russian Ribbentrop–Molotov Agreement, the invasion of Poland and the annexation of half of Poland in 09.1939, and the beginning of World War II. The implementing act was order No. 00350 of the head of the NKVD, Mr Lavrentyi Beria, on the „discharge of NKVD prisons” in Ukraine and Belarus. The entire action — the murders were committed, among others, in Katyn, Kharkov, Tver, Bykovnia and Kuropaty — was coordinated centrally from the NKVD headquarters in Moscow. This is evidenced by the so‑called deportation lists of subsequent groups of Polish prisoners (usually about 100 people) from NKVD camps sent to places of execution, prepared and distributed a few days before the executions from Moscow. It is also evidenced by the earlier deportations of Polish priests from the Kozelsk, Ostashkov and Starobilsk NKVD camps to NKVD prison in Moscow, or their isolation, just before Christmas on 25.12.1939, prob. in order to deprive Polish prisoners of spiritual care at that time — clearly actions controlled from the NKVD HQ in Moscow. There are indications — i.e. four so‑called „NKVD–Gestapo Methodical Conferences” of 1939‑1940: in Brest on Bug, Przemyśl, Zakopane and Cracow — of close collaboration between Germans and Russians in realization of plans of total extermination of Polish nation, its elites in particular — decision that prob. was confirmed during meeting of socialist leaders of Germany: Mr Heinrich Himmler, and Russia: Mr Lavrentyi Beria, in another German leader, Mr Hermann Göring, hunting lodge in Rominty in Romincka Forest in East Prussia.

Kiev (Lyukyanivska): Russian political prison in Kiev, in the first half of 20th century run by the genocidal NKVD, informally referred to as prison No 1, formally as Investigative Prison No 13 (SIZO#13). It was founded in the early 19th century. In the 20th century, during the Soviet times, the prison church was transformed into another block of cells. During the reign of J. Stalin in Russia, more than 25,000 prisoners passed through it. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage

Ribbentrop–Molotov: Genocidal Russian–German alliance pact between Russian leader Joseph Stalin and German leader Adolf Hitler signed on 23.08.1939 in Moscow by respective foreign ministers, Mr. Vyacheslav Molotov for Russia and Joachim von Ribbentrop for Germany. The pact sanctioned and was the direct cause of joint Russian and German invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the World War II in 09.1939. In a political sense, the pact was an attempt to restore the status quo ante before 1914, with one exception, namely the „commercial” exchange of the so–called „Kingdom of Poland”, which in 1914 was part of the Russian Empire, fore Eastern Galicia (today's western Ukraine), in 1914 belonging to the Austro–Hungarian Empire. Galicia, including Lviv, was to be taken over by the Russians, the „Kingdom of Poland” — under the name of the General Governorate — Germany. The resultant „war was one of the greatest calamities and dramas of humanity in history, for two atheistic and anti–Christian ideologies — national and international socialism — rejected God and His fifth Decalogue commandment: Thou shall not kill!” (Abp Stanislaus Gądecki, 01.09.2019). The decisions taken — backed up by the betrayal of the formal allies of Poland, France and Germany, which on 12.09.1939, at a joint conference in Abbeville, decided not to provide aid to attacked Poland and not to take military action against Germany (a clear breach of treaty obligations with Poland) — were on 28.09.1939 slightly altered and made more precise when a treaty on „German–Russian boundaries and friendship” was agreed by the same murderous signatories. One of its findings was establishment of spheres of influence in Central and Eastern Europe and in consequence IV partition of Poland. In one of its secret annexes agreed, that: „the Signatories will not tolerate on its respective territories any Polish propaganda that affects the territory of the other Side. On their respective territories they will suppress all such propaganda and inform each other of the measures taken to accomplish it”. The agreements resulted in a series of meeting between two genocidal organization representing both sides — German Gestapo and Russian NKVD when coordination of efforts to exterminate Polish intelligentsia and Polish leading classes (in Germany called «Intelligenzaktion», in Russia took the form of Katyń massacres) where discussed. Resulted in deaths of hundreds of thousands of Polish intelligentsia, including thousands of priests presented here, and tens of millions of ordinary people,. The results of this Russian–German pact lasted till 1989 and are still in evidence even today. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage

Polish–Russian war of 1919‑1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik–like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.

Polish–Ukrainian war of 1918‑1919: One of the wars for borders of the newly reborn Poland. At the end of 1918 on the former Austro–Hungarian empire’s territory, based on the Ukrainian military units of the former Austro–Hungarian army, Ukrainians waged war against Poland. In particular attempted to create foundation of an independent state and attacked Lviv. Thanks to heroic stance of Lviv inhabitants, in particular young generation of Poles — called since then Lviv eaglets — the city was recaptured by Poles and for a number of months successfully defended against furious Ukrainian attacks. In 1919 Poland — its newly created army — pushed Ukrainian forces far to the east and south, regaining control over its territory. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage
