Abstract
У статті простежено процес розшуку й арештів органами державної безпеки УРСР нелегалів ОУН на завершальному етапі боротьби підпільно-повстанського руху з комуністичним режимом.
(The article is aimed to describe the process of detection and arrests of OUN illegals in the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR by the state security services in the second half of the 1950s – 1970s, to show the voluntary surrender of former members of the OUN and the UPA. The methodological basis consists of the principles of scientific objectivity and historicism. The following historical methods were used: retrospective, comparative, structural, and problematic. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is determined by the fact that the scientific review of the unpublished archival documents and materials stored at the State Archives of the Security Service of Ukraine reviews the activities of the State Security Committee (KGB) of the republic aimed at the detection and arrest of the former guerrilla fighters, who were of illegal status. Conclusions. It was established that as of February 1955, in the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR, there were eleven separated insurgent fighting groups of thirty-two individuals and eighteen single militants. In addition, over a hundred people, including the former leaders of the armed nationalist insurgency, were in an illegal situation. After the amnesty announced by the communist authorities, some of the former members of the insurgent resistance movement voluntarily surrendered. Others – illegals – continued to engage in acts of sabotage, terrorism and other . The KGB of the Ukrainian SSR, fulfilling the demands of the authorities of the republic, made significant efforts to find the illegals and eliminate the remaining opponents. With the aim of defaming the national liberation movement, trials were organized against its participants, who were forced to make favorable confessions to the authorities under pressure.)
