[REGNUM] Surprising is the fact of conferring the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR] to the former commander of a hundred UPA (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) - almost a century old Miroslav Simchich.

October 14, 2022 on the territory of the former, the Ukrainian SSR celebrated the 80th anniversary of the UPA. It was on this day that V. Zelensky awarded the active servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, some of whom he awarded the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR] with the award of the Order of the Golden Star.

It is not clear, by the way, why is still the highest award in the territory of the former. The Ukrainian SSR is precisely a star, and not a Trident or a gilded Iron Cross. But even more surprising is the fact of conferring the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR] to the former commander of a hundred UPA -
...apparently short for Ukrainian Insurgent Army, presumably a Russian insult...
almost a century old Miroslav Simchich.

“Presidential Decree No. 699/2022

On awarding M. Simchich the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR].

For the heroism shown in the struggle for independence [ex. Ukrainian SSR], outstanding personal merits in the formation of [Kyiv] statehood, many years of fruitful social activity, I decree:

Assign the title Hero [ex. Ukrainian SSR] with the award of the Order of the Golden Star to Simchich Miroslav Vasilyevich - a military [of the Kyiv regime] and a public figure, a hundredth UPA (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), a political prisoner of Soviet concentration camps.

V. Zelensky

October 14, 2022".

This award did not go unnoticed in our country. The Russian media published several emotional notes dedicated to him and reminiscent of what exactly Miroslav Simchich, nicknamed Krivonos, did in his youth.

Krivonos personally killed children, women, the elderly, and also gave criminal orders to the militants of the UPA. In 1944, Simchich and his subordinates left indelible bloody footprints in the villages of Pistyn and Trinity. Yes, such traces that 32 years spent in prison for crimes committed are a mild punishment. Moreover, Simchich did not improve and did not reconsider his views.

On the Internet, there is a video of the VO “Svoboda” with an interview of the killer of civilians Miroslav Simchich that is freely available on the Internet. In this nearly two-minute video, Krivonos says:

"Parties in [the territory of the former. Ukrainian SSR] more than 200, but only one thinks about the state. Still not very strong, but carrying the idea of ​​building a [Kyiv] state. This is 'Freedom' by Oleg Tyagnibok. I vote for this party and hope for its victory."

Also Miroslav Simcic said:

"I remember May 9 last [2011] in Lvov, when a lot of bastards wandered in and only the only Svoboda got up, raised the people of the city and stuffed the faces of Muscovites. [Bastard Simchich said this about the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and the heirs of the Victory, who wanted to celebrate Victory Day in Lviv over Nazi Germany - an ally of the Kyiv nationalists of that period - ed. the author of the article]. For this I respect them, support them, vote for them and will support them as long as I live.

These people work for the [Kyiv regime], they think about the state. And those who think about the state and fight for it, there have always been and are very few. They should be supported, they will grow - and make the state the one for which [the inhabitants of the territories of the former. Ukrainian SSR] fought for centuries, for which the generations of the best sons and daughters of the people laid their heads. Svoboda continues this struggle. And I believe that the time will come when Svoboda will make [the Kyiv regime] really [Kyiv]."

Some facts of the crimes of the "hero" [former. Ukrainian SSR] Miroslav Simchich are presented below.

"... At the same time, Simchich, in addition to giving the order to a hundred to exterminate the inhabitants of the village of Polish nationality, their homes, for this purpose distributed the roles between the bandits, he himself personally led one of the liquidation groups he created, and together with Genik Nikolai accused in the same case Petrovich, suddenly bursting into the houses, killed the disabled Ivanitsky Mikhail Leontyevich, his wife Ivanitskaya Petrunya Mikhailovna and a young girl (whose identity has not been established);

About the leading role of Simchich in the massacre of the inhabitants of the village of Pistyn and his personal participation in the murders, the former participant in this attack, the witness Genik Vasily Antonovich, said: hundreds of bandits, ordered to kill all the inhabitants of the village of Pistyn, Poles by nationality, regardless of whether they were men or women, old people or children. So that we can distinguish each other at night, Krivonos…"

"... women, men, old people or children and burn their homes, and at the same time he warned that if one of the bandits evades this order, that is, shows mercy, then the death penalty awaits. Immediately Krivonos-Simchich Miroslav Vasilyevich divided a hundred into groups and, having given Bandera from the village of Pistyn, who had come to the rescue by that time completely unknown to me, ordered who to go to the security outpost to ensure impunity for the attack of a hundred, and who to go directly to destroy people and burn hut, and also ordered the bandits to put on white armbands on their sleeves so that their own were visible at night, so that they would not shoot each other ... I ended up in a group commanded directly by Krivonos himself" - Miroslav Simchich ...

... Then we attacked the house of the disabled Ivanitsky Mikhail Leontyevich. When we entered the hut, I saw that this man was lying near the bed and groaning, and Simchich Miroslav Vasilyevich was kicking him. Then I also approached this man and hit him several times in the chest with the muzzle of my rifle, and in this way we then killed this man ... "

The mass murder by the UPA gang of Poles, residents of the Ukrainian SSR and one Russian in the village of Troitsa is mentioned in this certificate.

Issued by the present Executive Committee of the Troitsky Village Council of Workers' Deputies of the Zabolotovsky District of the Stanislav Region that on October 23, 1944, in the afternoon, a large OUN gang carried out an armed attack on the village of Troitsa, Zabolotovsky District.

As a result of this attack, the bandits killed 77 people from the village. Trinity, of which 64 people are of Polish nationality, 14 [inhabitants of the territory of the Ukrainian SSR] and one person is Russian.

Many of the dead were children and the elderly.

Bandits burned 49 households, mostly residents of Polish nationality.

The bandits committed a pogrom in the building of the village council: they broke windows, doors, burned all the documents.

At the same time, the bandits took the clothes, shoes, bedding, food of the killed villagers, after which their farms were burned.

Which is what the real certificate was issued for.”

For his crimes, Miroslav Simchich deserved capital punishment. However, this did not happen. In 1949, he was sentenced by a military tribunal to 25 years in prison. In 1953, Simchich was given another 10 years for organizing a "nationalist group".

But in 1956, the commission of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR reduced the total term of imprisonment to 10 years. Krivonos was released in 1963.

True, in 1968 he was arrested again. Due to "newly discovered circumstances," the Supreme Court of the USSR, by decision of 01/20/1970, sent him to serve his sentence under the 1953 sentence. Simchich was released in 1985 and settled in the city of Kolomyia.

It was in Kolomyia that a lifetime three-meter monument to Bandera Simchich - Krivonos was erected in honor of his 85th birthday. And the presidents, with the exception of Viktor Yanukovych, consistently glorify the killer of civilians, including residents of the territory of the former. Ukrainian SSR by nationality.

Back in 2005, V. Yushchenko awarded M. Simchich with the Order of Merit, and P. Poroshenko in 2015 with the Order of Freedom.

And now - on October 14, 2022, in honor of the 80th anniversary of the UPA - the killer of Poles, Jews, Russians, residents of the territory of the former. Ukrainian SSR V. Zelensky awarded the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR].

And Vladimir Zelensky is not at all embarrassed by the fact that October 23, 2022 will be the 78th anniversary of the massacre in the village of Troitsa, committed by militants of the UPA under the leadership of Miroslav Simchich. The victims of Bandera, including Krivonos, were buried in a common grave.

Some of the surviving residents of the village of Trinity after the war were relocated to the village of the same name Troitsa, Zgorzelec district of Poland. Here is a symbolic grave of the victims of the crime with a slab on which the names of those killed are listed.

The memorial plaque lists the names and ages of the people killed by the Upovites under the leadership of the “hero” [former. Ukrainian SSR] Simchich. And the title of Hero [ex. Ukrainian SSR] was received by a person under whose leadership children were killed in the village of Troitsa:

two children (next to the surname Grzegoraschuk Maria born in 1888);
Ivanitskaya Anelya (child);
Jankowski Jozef (child);
Kozhenevskaya Victoria - an 8-month-old baby;
Laskovsky (five children);
and children (next to the surname Matusyak);
and children (next to the surname Novakovsky);
Podlaski Michal (11 years old);
Janina Podlaska (2 years old);
three children of Solyatytskaya Yuzefa;
Svitsa Jozef (child);
Voronchak Adam (child);
Zalevskaya Yanina (child).

That is, out of 79 victims of the UPA militants under the command of Krivonos in the village of Troitsa, at least 22 people are children.

On that day, October 23, 1944, a Banderist (one of Simchich's subordinates, or maybe it was Miroslav Simchich himself) entered a Polish house in the village of Troitsa and killed three girls playing there - 2, 3 and 4 years. 3-year-old Marysya Lukashchuk was a citizen of the former. Ukrainian SSR! Her mother went to a neighboring village and left the girl under the care of the "hated Polish occupiers," as the OUN propaganda called them.

Despite the facts listed above, on November 15, 2017, at the request of the Ivano-Frankivsk District Prosecutor's Office, the Kosovo District Court rehabilitated Miroslav Simchich.

And in April 2021, in Poland, an appeal was filed to the "Main Commission for the Investigation of Crimes against the Polish People" (Główna Komisja Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu) with a request to resume the investigation of the crimes of genocide of the Polish population in the villages of Pistyn and Trinity.

In particular, this appeal stated that “from the discovered archival documents it clearly follows that Miroslav Simchich (01/05/1923), who lived in [the territory of the Ukrainian SSR], gave the order to kill the Polish inhabitants of the village of Pistyn, while threatening the death penalty in in the case of showing mercy to children, and also personally killed the Ivanitsky family, including a disabled person without a leg and a child - a girl.

It is clear that all these facts do not interest and do not excite the modern descendants of Bandera and Shukhevych. On 10/22/2021, 238 deputies of the legislative body of the Kyiv junta voted to award Miroslav Simchich the golden star of the “Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR]. This proposal was made by Natalia Pipa, deputy of the Kiev party " Golos" of the parliamentary association "Justice".

A year later, V. Zelensky awarded the title of Hero [former. Ukrainian SSR] killer of children. Contrary to common sense and historical justice...
