Ukrainian territorial claims. ‘Zacherzonian country’

wprawo.pl 2 weeks ago

The word ‘Zakerzonie’ (‘Zakerzonia’, ‘Zakerzonski Kraj’, ‘Zakurzonia’) was coined by Ukrainian emigration historians and is sustained by Ukrainian nationalist communities.

The society is not informed that the reanimated CNS has not so far distanced itself from the criminal ideology of Doncov or from the mark set at the 1st legislature in 1929, namely the construction of Ukrainian Samostive Council of Ukraine in Ukrainian cultural territories. The press body of ZUwP “Our Word” has stressed the request to accomplish this goal for years. The alleged “Zacherzonia” is not intended to enter Ukraine, but for the editors of “NS” it includes Zasanie, Lemkowsza and Southeast Lublin. The position of the ZUwP on this substance is compatible with the vital interests of the Polish State.

This should be noted in the context of another provision in the Resolution of the National Broadcasting, which recommends:

"The aim is to guarantee that meaningful Polish factors on emigration renounce all intentions and thoughts of rewinding towards Ukraine, and leave the case of Zacurzońska Ukraine open, suggesting that it will be done for the benefit of both parties by national governments full sovereign states of the self-stitch Ukraine and post-communist Poland. The most urgent task for the close future: to guarantee that the Polish authorities unilaterally admit (declaration) that they do not issue and issue any territorial claims in the future against independent Ukraine and thus renounce any pretension to the lands lost in the East as a consequence of the russian invasion of the Polish-occupied Ukrainian territories on 17 September 1939. [...] erstwhile that happens, we will read this unilateral statement: yes, you have no territorial claims and you cannot have them, but we have them. Poles realize that so far they occupy any of the historical and ethnographic lands of Ukraine, not vice versa. So it will be a fair thing for Ukrainian-Polish reconciliation to return to the Ukrainians the lands that we call the Zacurzońska Ukraine (including Zasanie, Chełmszow, Podlasie and Lemkowszow). erstwhile these 2 facts are put together, the planet will admit to us, not Poland."

‘Exercise the Ukrainian dustiness up to the farthest Lemko estate, according to the limit outlined by the CNS-UPA. Look, wet article. This is the article entitled “The Farthest scope of Ukrainian Language in Poland” published in “Wszystkie Tygodnik” and reprinted in 2 numbers “The way of Peremohy” – E.P./.

In this spirit, propaganda for the historicity and ethnographicity of Ukrainian lands now occupied by Poland, for which UPA fought with specified determination with the communist Polish authorities with patriotic Polish forces. It follows that patriotic Polish forces recognized the subjective function of UPA and its right to the lands of Zacurzonia. It is strong to emphasize that specified a position of patriotic Polish forces is now. These forces besides want to silence everything that divides us, including negative looking at UPA. besides emphasize that the same position is the Pope's and prove that if it were not, he would not be awarded a prize to Mokre. John Paul II for promoting relationship between Ukrainian and Polish nations. To claim that this award was awarded to Ukraine for articles published in “Wspóżyczna Tygodnik” on crimes committed by Poles in the Ukrainian people and on future borders of Western Samist Ukraine, according to which the full Zacurzonia with its capital in Przemyśl belongs to Ukraine. ...’.

"To prosecute all means and means to rebuild the Ukrainian character of Zacurzonia, stressing that the self-serving Ukraine will never quit on these lands and at the right time it will ask for them. If Poles insist, Ukraine will usage the armed force against them – without any hesitation".

In western Ukraine there are authoritative publications in which even Krakow is presented as an indigenous Ukrainian city. Hence the celebrated business of the monument Adam Mickiewicz.

The chauvinists proclaim the slogan of building “Great Ukraine” according to the principle: it failed during the war and after the war, it will now be succeeded by including in this country all the historical Ukrainian cultural lands, not excluding, among others, parts of present Poland. In the case of Poland, this means reaching for respective districts of present east Poland. The border regions were filled with tens of thousands of unwanted visitors, who were supported and supported by representatives well-established in the local authorities of the Ukrainian minority. The "reukrainisation" process is presently under the authority's approval. Ukrainians have mastered enterprises, among others, by monopolizing border trade through the elimination of Poles who are harassment, entered local governments, universities, medical institutions, mass and in an uncontrolled way buy Polish land, real estate. We are dealing with this case on a large scale throughout Poland.

Leading activists of Ukrainian nationalists and any historians claim that ‘Zakersonia’ are cultural Ukrainian lands.

Vitali Prociuk in his book “Knyha pamiati” on page 3 states:” Let theirs and strangers know that their descendants will never and nowhere renounce their right to their historical lands, which the possessors took with the support of Moscow's gutters and with American-English silence in Yalta during the conference on 4-11 February 1945."

Bogdan Zubenko writes on page 100 in his book “Polsza and U Krajina”: “Poles have seized and are presently holding up to 20,000 square kilometres of cultural lands in Ukraine. Poland must return these lands to Ukrainians who lost them during colonizing resettlement, give material and moral compensation. Let Moscow take Königsberg (Kingewiec) and give us Przemyśl".

Eugeniusz Misiło, a Ukrainian historian from Warsaw who claims that UPA members were, are, and will be heroes for Ukrainians in Poland, writes: “The fresh Polish border cut the westernmost part of her cultural lands from Ukraine. respective 100 villages inhabited by the Ukrainians in an overwhelming way, along 16 border districts of Kraków, Rzeszów and Białystok voivodships marked the natural ethnographic Polish-Ukrainian border”.

On Facebook, he published a post entitled “My Decalogue”. As he claims, he presented a "collection of truths" in his individual and professional life. He accused Poland of occupying Ukrainian lands, and the Volyn massacre called the price that Poles paid for the persecution of Ukrainians.

Mikołaj Siwicki writes in his book “The Acts of Polish-Ukrainian Conflicts”: “The word Zakerzonie is defined by the regions that erstwhile belonged to the Duchy of Halicko-Wołyński, which later became Polish and, after planet War II, remained part of the Polish state. This word is utilized occasionally in Poland, unless it means Ukrainian lands.”

Bohdan Huk writes:” Despite the heroic opposition of UPA, the Ukrainian civilian population was brutally expelled from the ancient land, the villages were burned or settled with a Polish element, the surviving churches were transformed into churches or warehouses...However, in spite of everything- Zakersonia is reborn.”

This is only part of the statements of the enemies of the Polish Nation, to which the lovers of Bandera refer. Not a word about half a million savagely murdered by Ukrainian hatchets.

Apologists of Ukrainian nationalism genocide by the armed structures of the Organizations of Ukrainian Nationalists (CNS) on Poles justify the politics of the Second Polish Republic, that is, the “damaging” of Rusin-Ukrainians even at the time erstwhile Poland was under occupation. They claim that genocide was a consequence of the demolition of the remaining Russian Orthodox churches in Lublin after the Russian partition. By storming the monuments of the tsaric rule, the military authorities wanted to curb the improvement and revival of the Orthodoxy, which favored the improvement of the nationalist national movement. According to the state of Lublin, there was a church in which national propaganda was cultivated: “There was a permanent possible safety threat expanding with each step”. A full of 91 churches, 10 chapels, and 26 home of prayer were demolished in the course of the state of Lublin. At the same time, the Catholic Church was given 4 churches and 4 for morgues. In the usage of Orthodox churches in Lublin Voivodeship, 49 parish churches, 5 filiary churches and 1 monastery remained.

To sum up: The above confounded statements of Ukrainians are aimed at proving that the area of south-eastern Poland should be part of the Ukrainian state. The same position on “Zakerzonia” was represented by the CNS-UPA operating in Poland from 1944 to 1947. The armed structures of Ukrainian genocidals displaced from Volyn and east Małopolska began to penetrate the areas of south-eastern Poland from the early spring of 1944, where they carried out activities aimed at removing the Polish population from these areas and detaching the alleged ‘Zakerzonia’ from Poland and creating a microscopic Ukrainian nationalist state in this area. It was expected to be a bridgehead in the form of the “Ukrainian Republic of Zakerzonia”, from which, at the outbreak of the 3rd planet War between the West and the russian Union, a fight could be waged against the USSR to build a Ukrainian nationalist state.

The territories of south-eastern Poland were part of the Second Poland and after the failure of the war with Germany in 1939 were under German occupation. After the conclusion of the border agreement with the USSR, they joined the post-war Polish State, which had to guarantee safety for citizens of peace and order and make conditions for rebuilding Poland after this terrible war.
