Interesting material about the participation of Bandera’s UNA-UNSO in the Transnistrian-Moldavian conflict on the side of the PMR.

Choose your friends wisely!

Hello, dear readers!

The topic that I would like to talk about today is extremely unpleasant, however, despite this, I still consider it important to cover it. We will talk about the activities of an organization banned in Russia ( http://rkn.gov.ru/news/rsoc/news30405.htm?print=1 ) UNA-UNSO during the Transnistrian conflict. As you already know, or maybe you just discovered with surprise, members of this gang fought for the PMR. Yes, yes, exactly like that, but let’s try to figure out why, why and how this happened. I would like to immediately say that I disapprove of this fact, but since you cannot extract words from a song and the idealization of history also carries negative consequences, I consider it necessary to show even such unpleasant incidents. Now let's talk a little about the list of sources used. Since this fact is perceived by both sides as rubbish, rarely does anyone talk about this topic at all, so with a superficial search on the Internet you will find little information. Therefore, I apologize in advance if I made mistakes or inaccuracies somewhere and please be sure to point them out in the comments so that corrections can be made (proofs are required; I heard phrases somewhere, or from someone, I stupidly don’t consider them. There are interviews indicating the interlocutor, or literature, or excerpts, videos, photos, etc., I will definitely add). Now, after a lengthy introduction, let's get down to business.

The conflict in the Moldavian region has quite long roots. Our country was directly drawn into it approximately after the conclusion of the Peace of Jassy. Since then, in the Dniester region, the Russian Empire began to build a network of fortresses that were supposed to take an attack from the Western direction. From this moment on, the region began to be populated by Russians, for example, Tiraspol was formed (in fact, from a fortress). In general, it is worth noting that Moldova itself has a rather varied national composition (despite its small territory); it is inhabited by: Moldovans, Russians, Ukrainians, Gagauzians, Romanians, Bulgarians and other smaller peoples.

Population of Moldova

So, at the beginning of the acute crisis in Moldova due to the collapse of the USSR, radical nationalist sentiments became widespread in the country. In the photo below you can see one of the most harmless slogans:

The main emphasis was on the general Romanization of society. The left bank of the Dniester did not agree with this and was not at all eager to secede from the USSR and away we go... Now let’s shift our attention to the neighboring state, namely Ukraine. As you know, in the 90s, an epidemic of nationalism struck this state, and therefore UNA-UNSO (an organization banned in Russia) began to rise from oblivion. Since not everyone was happy to welcome the idea of ​​an independent nenko, discontent grew in a number of regions of Ukraine, and frostbitten Nazis were sent there to instill love for the new power. Here you can remember the friendship trains to Sevastopol, visits to Odessa, and so on. To illustrate the photo below:

It was decided not to leave Transnistria without attention, since quite a few Ukrainian people lived there. By the way, in the PMR there are still 3 official languages ​​(Russian, Ukrainian, Moldavian). Having proclaimed a kind of crusade to protect Ukrainians from Romanization, after collusion with the local authorities, the first detachments of volunteers were sent there (I could not find reliable information about the number of contingents who took part in these events; the total number of those who visited ranged from 400 to 1500 people). Particularly stubborn ones dreamed of even including Transnistria into Ukraine. I think it’s time to quote about the event of those years from one of the participants, Dmitry Korchinsky (Biography of a “wonderful” “man”: http://www.peoples.ru/state/politics/dmitriy_korchinskiy/index1.html and here: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korchinsky,_Dmitry_Alexandrovich ), by the way, OMG, awarded the medal “Defender of Transnistria” and the Order of the Republic:

Dmitry Korchinsky himself.

« We have always considered Transnistria to be Ukrainian territory. There was an acute question about the unification of Moldova and Romania into a single state. In Romania, the Ukrainian minority has traditionally been discriminated against, so we sided with the PMR government. In 1992, the Union of Ukrainians of Transnistria “Povernennya” (Return) turned to us with a request for military assistance, and we sent volunteer detachments there. »

Mircea Druc (Prime Minister of Moldova from 1990 to 1992) in the newspaper Tzara on October 27, 1992:

“At the same time, the “patriotic” foundation of the Transnistrian conflict was laid. After the first visit to Transnistria by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who promised to “wipe Moldovans and Lithuanians off the face of the earth,” a regional branch of the Liberal Democratic Party was formed in Tiraspol, headed by “production movement” activist Alexander Bolshakov Jr., son-in-law of the chairman of the Board of Directors (United Council of Labor Collectives (OSTK) is a social movement that stood at the origins of the formation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. - note by Razvalyukhi) Anatoly Bolshakov. Two years later, he will suddenly become a Ukrainian nationalist, chairman of the Council of Ukrainians of Transnistria “Return”, who will “help” the militants of the Ukrainian National Self-Defense (UNSO) (author’s note, an organization banned in Russia) find their way to the Transnistrian trenches, and the Tiraspol “government” to establish not very loud contacts with well-known Ukrainian political figures and at the same time with the separatist societies “Rus” and “Novorossiysk”, which aim to secede the south-eastern regions of Ukraine. The creation of a “Transnistrian lobby” among politicians, public figures and in the press of Russia and Ukraine is a special topic and deserves a separate article.”

According to various sources, a detachment of 80 to 150 people took part in the battles; a total of about 400 UNSO members (author’s note, an organization banned in Russia) went through the conflict. The bulk of the UNSO members (author's note, an organization banned in Russia) were located in the north of the region, where it was relatively quiet and there were no more or less active military operations. They were mainly engaged in the protection of bridges and other strategic objects. But some of them also visited places where intense fighting took place (for example, the village of Koshnitsa, which is located not far from Dubossary and in the battles for Bendery).

Korchinsky: " In 1992, God finally sent us a war in Transnistria, which we desperately needed at that time. It was a quiet, homely, very pleasant war. We took the Ukrainians of Transnistria under our protection. In the battles near Kosice, one member of the Unsov (author’s note, an organization banned in Russia) had his arm torn off - this is perhaps the only loss on our part. In total, about 150 people managed to take part in that war, under my leadership.”

One of the leaders of UNA-UNSO (author’s note, an organization banned in Russia) Igor Mazur-Topolya: “The main reason we fought there is that this is Ukrainian land: there are entire villages of Ukrainians, schools, the Ukrainian language is considered one of the state in the PMR. And we thought that when there is a war just 100 km from our homes, Ukrainians are dying, and Kravchuk as the President of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense are doing nothing, we must protect them. We then established normal relations with the Transnistrian authorities - they didn’t have any prejudice towards us, like in Russia . In total, about 400 of ours and more than 60 of them were awarded medals “Defender of Transnistria” . And for those who were injured, the PMR authorities they gave us apartments in Tiraspol, they still live there with their families and we visit them sometimes ».

Chairman of the Foreign Policy Commission of the PMR Supreme Council Dmitry Soin:
“Among the volunteers, the guys from UNA-UNSO (author’s note, an organization banned in Russia) stood out for their organization. They prepared thoroughly before coming to us. All the guys are physically strong, wearing good uniforms. Just near Koshnitsa I was on the same stretch with them, and there was such a remarkable episode in April, when we and the marching ataman of the Black Sea Cossack Army Driglov (died in Bendery - Razvalyukhi's note) went to them to find out who was firing during truce. The chieftain tells them: “I’ll remove them from positions, disarm everyone!” And they look at us like that, surprised: “Why should we be more careful? We came here to drive in.” I remember this phrase. They were quite active, somewhat aggressive, and their task was to test as many people as possible for subsequent local wars and, of course, try to remove as many small arms as possible from the combat zone . But at the same time, objectively, they fought desperately, bravely, and the people of Transnistria are, of course, grateful to the Ukrainian volunteers. By the way, this is the only case in conflicts in the post-Soviet space when UNA-UNSO (author's note, an organization banned in Russia) was on the same side along with the Russian Cossacks ».

Official Kyiv denied participation in the conflict and even helped arrest the President of the PMR Smirnov in Kyiv and secretly take him to Moldova. Other Ukrainian politicians also spoke out against the PMR, for example, dissident and nationalist Vyacheslav Chernovol.

He made a kind of video where he interviews in Lvov those who claim that they were in the PMR in a volunteer detachment. I don’t know if they are lying or not, judge for yourself, the film itself is simply “beautiful” in some places with its arguments, but there are interesting moments:

By the way, pay attention to this information dump, namely the channel Union of Pridnestrovians of Ukraine, the partners are not asleep:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNnI-UpZUuTdUeShHmkfzYg

If you try to assess the effectiveness of the units of UNA-UNSO (an organization banned in Russia), then nevertheless (MY PERSONAL OPINION) it was quite modest. Despite the fact that there were those who participated in direct clashes, the main part, as I understand it, played a supporting role in the armed conflict. This is indicated by the low losses among the militants (and the killing in Bendery was not weak) and their general low visibility in these events. In addition, I would like to note that they had no real combat experience at that time (they partly went for it), therefore it is unlikely that with such a modest number they could look more serious than the rest of the volunteers and be the decisive force they imagined themselves to be. The 14th Army of the Russian Armed Forces made a decisive contribution to stopping the bloodshed. Again, from various sources we can draw conclusions that the forces of UNA-UNSO (an organization banned in Russia) were scattered throughout the conflict zone, including Koshtitsa and Kocieri, checkpoints in Rybnitsa and Kamenka, a small contingent flashed in the north in Rashkino, the headquarters itself seemed to be located in Tiraspol. Subsequently, the ONU members (an organization banned in Russia) were withdrawn from the conflict zone and accomplished their “exploits” in other places, but this was already THAT side of the front.

I would like to note that I think the inclusion of this organization in the union was a mistake, for which I still had to pay. Firstly, it is worth understanding that they came not so much to help us as to pursue their own interests in the form of an attempt to drag Transnistria into the zone of another Russophobic country. Secondly, there they received their first combat experience, which was subsequently used in other wars (Abkhazia, Chechnya, Yugoslavia, South Ossetia, Maidan, Donbass, although the latest events were more of an echo and that is a completely different story).

Continuation of "exploits"

It would seem that Georgia has something to do with it

Thirdly, as it is fashionable to put it, this is a reputational risk. Both sides shyly avert their eyes from the fact of mutual cooperation. The PMR actually accepted the helping hand of the outspoken Nazis, the OUN (an organization banned in Russia) helped those who are now considered separators and compared with the Donbass.
Hence the conclusion: Choose your friends wisely!

A few photographs from those years.

In particular, it was this person on the right who was asked to say thank you to the people of Transnistria. Boy Kolya likes it.

No comments.

They are.

The village in the north is Rashkovo. The north of the PMR is predominantly inhabited by Ukrainians. This is what this place looks like these days, fabulous beauty

The Supreme Court of Chechnya found two UNA-UNSO militants guilty of participating in hostilities against the Russian Armed Forces

The Supreme Court of the Chechen Republic found Ukrainian citizens Nikolai Karpyuk and Stanislav Klykh guilty of participating in hostilities against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Chechnya in 1994–1995. It should be noted that the accusation was supported by the jury, which considered the investigation's version to be completely proven. It is known that the militants belonged to one of the large national separatist organizations in Ukraine, which was engaged in the transfer of terrorist detachments to the Russian Caucasus with the connivance of local security forces. Today, the Ukrainian government does not at all hide its sympathy for the former militants of the so-called Ichkeria.

According to the investigation, the detained Nikolai Karpyuk, together with Korchinsky and other members of the nationalist organization “Ukrainian National Assembly - Ukrainian People’s Self-Defense” (UNA-UNSO, prohibited by a court decision in the Russian Federation) arrived from Ukraine to Chechnya to join illegal armed groups operating in republic and headed by Aslan Maskhadov and Shamil Basayev, to commit attacks and murders of citizens, Russian military personnel, as well as law enforcement officers.

According to the Investigative Committee, they repeatedly took an active part in clashes with Russian military personnel on the territory of the Presidential Palace, Minutka Square and the Grozny railway station, during which they killed at least 30 military personnel and injured at least 13 military personnel of varying degrees of severity.

"They'll start missing the blood"

Representatives of the UNA-UNSO began establishing their first contacts with the leadership of the so-called Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in 1993. Through Georgians, familiar from the aggression against Abkhazia, the nationalists handed over the developed instructions for organizing terrorist attacks to the President of the Chechen Republic, Dzhokhar Dudayev, and already in August 1994, high-ranking members of the UNA-UNSO, led by Dmitry Korchinsky, arrived in Grozny. It has been precisely established that meetings took place with Zelimkhan Yandarbiev and Aslan Maskhadov. With Maskhadov, the ideological leader of the Banderaites, Korchinsky, agreed that his organization, through its own military trade union, would begin recruiting retirees in Ukraine, especially air defense and air force specialists, who were vitally lacking for Maskhadov and Dudayev.

In the ranks of illegal armed groups, Ukrainian militants were assigned a salary of 3 thousand US dollars per month. The nationalists persuaded Maskhadov to enter into contracts with them for six months, with half of the amount ($9,000) paid in advance. In addition, an agreement was reached on the creation of camps for the training of militants on the territory of Chechnya, but mostly the Unsovites underwent this in combat conditions, committing crimes in the Russian Caucasus.

The ideological leader of Ukrainian extremists, Dmitry Korchinsky, bluntly stated: “If we do not often send these city boys to war, their fighting spirit will turn into jelly, and the organization will begin to resemble a club of young border guards. Our task is to prepare terrorists who need a specific job. Each of them must taste the blood of the enemy and smell gunpowder in a real battle. After the war they will begin to miss the blood. The cult of violence will prevail in their souls. They will want to solve any issue using an automatic machine. Unlike the soldiers of the Ukrainian army, infected with the ideas of pacifism, my archers will go crazy from the smell of blood. During one of the expeditions to the Caucasus, I saw wolves hunting in the mountains. Two sheep are enough for them to eat their fill. But the smell of blood drives them crazy, and in a frenzy they continue to slaughter the entire herd, rushing like death, with a bloody mouth. This is very impressive. So do we.”

Another direction of subversive activity against Russia was the creation of “committees” on the basis of regional branches of the UNSO in support of Ichkeria and various information centers in the cities of Ukraine. It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of these so-called committees became the “roofs” of Chechen ethnic groups and still exist in post-revolutionary Ukraine.

The neo-Nazi detachment of Bandera’s “Viking” (the name taken from the Third Reich division of the same name) acted most brutally against the Russian armed forces in Chechnya. By the way, it was headed by the chairman of the UNSO in Rivne, Alexander Muzychko, better known as Sashko Bily. In Grozny, Bily was the commandant of Aslan Maskhadov’s headquarters and was known for luring Russian soldiers into an ambush, pretending to be a refugee, where they would face abuse and painful death. For “services” to Ichkeria and the NBF, Sashko Bily was awarded the highest award of the Chechen Republic of Ichrys - the “Order of the Hero of the Chechen Nation,” and during Maskhadov’s visit to Ukraine, the latter fussed with Kuchma about the fate of the Rivne thug. On the night of March 24-25, the second “reward” found a hero - Bily was shot in the heart several tens of meters from the Three Crucian Cafe, without offering any resistance.

It is no secret that a prominent representative of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists, Anatoly Lupinos, took part in the development of plans for the invasion and terrorist attacks of Basayev’s detachment in Budennovsk, and a number of UNS militants directly took part in the operation. The leadership of the UNSO maintained contact with the field commanders even after the end of the First Chechen War, regularly sending militants to the camps of Salman Raduev. This also determined the coherence of the actions of Ukrainian national separatists during the Bandera rebellion in Kyiv in 2013–2014.

"Your children will become orphans"

However, this is not the story of a specific organization and its cooperation with gangs. After the coup d'etat in Ukraine, people from the defeated NBF of Ichkeria became welcome guests in Kyiv, and then in the Donbass, where they took part in punitive operations against militias and civilians. Militants from the Chechen bandit underground in Ukraine were able to create their own formation called the Battalion named after. Dzhokhar Dudayev. They were commanded by a certain Isa Munayev, who calls himself a citizen of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (CRI) and a brigadier general of its armed forces. According to him, the battalion included “hundreds of political refugees” from all over Europe - Chechens, Ingush, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, Dagestanis and representatives of other nationalities who took an active part in clashes and terrorist attacks against the Russian army in the first and second Chechen campaigns.

Munaev was liquidated on February 1, 2015 near Debaltsevo. Now the gang is led by terrorist Adam Osmayev, who was preparing an assassination attempt on the President of Russia. Ramzan Kadyrov, commenting on the death of the “brigadier general of Ichkeria,” said that the murder of Isa Munayev was predictable, and threatened those who plan to continue activities against Russia. “Munaev was never a warrior. And, moreover, a real man. All these years he has been in the wings of Western intelligence services. They finished him off when they realized that Munaev was not worth even a depreciated hryvnia. Today I am addressing those who, through deception, were drawn by Munayev and the bandit Osmayev into the adventure of the Ukrainian fascists. Every single one of you knows me. None of you will dare even look towards Russia. I won't let you do this. Come to your senses or your children will become orphans and your wives widows, as happened with the Munaev family. Soon he will be kept company in hell by a henchman of the special services, the son of an informer, Adam Osmayev,” Kadyrov said.

The Bandera rebellion, which led to a coup d'etat, became the apotheosis of friendship between the Ichkerian gang underground and Ukrainian radicals. What was done, albeit with the connivance of the special services, but secretly, has now become open and, moreover, is popular with the leadership of today’s Ukraine, which at every opportunity demonstrates its hatred of Moscow. Therefore, the initiation of criminal cases, the search and arrests of former militants involved in crimes against citizens of the Russian Federation is a very significant gesture by both Moscow and modern Chechnya. War crimes should not have a statute of limitations, especially if we want to close the sad pages of history at the end of the last century, where the boot of a Ukrainian nationalist left its bloody mark.

The Shatoisky District Court of the Chechen Republic sentenced Alexander Malofeev, a member of the Ukrainian nationalist group UNA-UNSO, to 24.5 years in a maximum security colony, as well as a fine of 41 million rubles as compensation to the families of the victims, reports the correspondent. TASS from the courtroom.

Malofeev was found guilty of participating in armed attacks on Russian military personnel in 1994-1995 and 2000 on the territory of Chechnya. When sentencing, the court took into account Malofeev’s sincere repentance and cooperation with the investigation, as well as the previously imposed punishment. His lawyer Adam Magomadov told reporters that the defense does not intend to appeal the verdict and the convict is generally satisfied with it.

Alexander Malofeev was brought to Chechnya in September this year from a maximum security colony near Cherkessk, where he is serving a 23-year sentence for participating in a robbery during which two people were killed.

It later turned out that in 1994-1995 he took part in hostilities against Russian military personnel in Chechnya. The court hearings took place in the mountainous Shatoi region, in which, according to investigators, Malofeev also participated in an attack on a military unit stationed in the village of Ulus-Kert at the end of February 2000.

Malofeev's testimony

The criminal case against Malofeev was separated into separate proceedings in connection with the conclusion of a pre-trial agreement. According to his testimony, together with other Ukrainian nationalists, he arrived in Chechnya through the Pankisi Gorge in northern Georgia. After this, UNA-UNSO activists formed the Viking armed detachment.

It included Nikolai Karpyuk, Stanislav Klykh, Dmitry Karchinsky, Alexander Muzychko, the Tyagnibok brothers and the current Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

Earlier it was reported that the Supreme Court of Chechnya began considering a criminal case on charges of Malofeev’s accomplices, Ukrainian citizens Stanislav Klykh and Nikolai Karpyuk, members of the UNO-UNSO, on charges of participating in clashes with Russian military personnel on the territory of Grozny as part of the gangs of Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov . In connection with the request of the defense of the accused, the case will be considered with the participation of a jury.
