The head of the Institute of national memory Vladimir vyatrovich said that the OUN was not involved in the Holocaust, but this statement made by President of Israel Reuven Rivlin, as if is a Soviet myth.
"Unfortunately, the leader of Israel in his own speech in the Ukrainian Parliament reiterated the Soviet myth of the participation of the OUN in the Holocaust. Read memory of victims of Babi Yar would be more sincere without the use of the myths of those who erased the memory of them ", - transfers its words " 112 Ukraine ".
in response to this Russian historian and writer Alexander Dyukov in a private Facebook viatrovych called the " moron-revisionist ": "little that he denies the obvious and studied by historians is the fact he still can't remain silent when it is necessary ", - he wrote. Before Rivlin said: "at Babi Yar and other places, they (the Jews) were shot in the forests near ravines and ditches, pushed into mass graves, most of the accomplices of the crimes were Ukrainians, and among them stood the warriors of OUN ". Anti-Semitic manifestations, which said Rivlin, in Ukraine still there. In may, vandals in the national Day of remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust burned the flag of Israel within the Babi Yar in Kiev where in 1941 there was a mass shooting of Soviet citizens, the vast majority of whom were Jews.
