The 🇨🇦 VOC memorial's virtual "Pathway to Liberty" includes at least a dozen members of the Banderite faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and/or Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which largely perpetrated the Holocaust by Bullets in western Ukraine.
Many know by now that Nazi collaborator / ethnic cleanser Roman Shukhevych, UPA commander and the OUN-B leader in Ukraine (1943-50), is part of the "Pathway to Liberty." His "virtual brick" was donated by the "League of Ukrainian Canadians," an OUN-B front cbc.ca/news/politics/…
The League of Ukrainian Canadians (LUC) and its Women's Auxiliary dedicated virtual bricks to nine other people, at least five of them members of the OUN-B and/or UPA, such as Mykola Koshyk, National President of the Society of Veterans of UPA in Canada, as well as...
Petro Mycak, 94, UPA veteran and leading member of the OUN-B, longtime president of the Windsor branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, seen here with the international OUN-B leader in what I believe is the OUN-B headquarters building in Kyiv based on the Bandera portrait.
The Buduchnist Credit Union, the largest Ukrainian financial institution in Canada, is controlled by members of the Banderite LUC and in turn the OUN-B. (Allegedly the CEO of BCU Financial Group is the present-day OUN-B leader in Canada.)
The BCU ("Banderite Credit Union"?) dedicated virtual bricks to Roman Malashchuk (circled left, with Bandera), presumably a war criminal, as well as Volodymyr Okipniuk (circled right, with OUN-B leader Romaniw), another leading OUN-B member in Canada.
Buduchnist Credit Union also sponsored a virtual brick in memory of Vasyl Bezchlibnyk, a member of the OUN-B's Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine (today AKA the LUC) and the Canadian branch of the Banderite-led Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations
And then there's the Ian Ihnatowycz Family Foundation, which I know nothing about, that paid for a brick in memory of Evhen Wreciona, "a senior OUN figure and former head of the 'Ukrainian Police' in Lviv" -- presumably a war criminal -- who worked for the CIA during the Cold War
