Ukrainian historian, writer, professor, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Higher School of Ukraine, Volodymyr Serhiychuk, said that the greatest destruction on the territory of Ukraine during the Second World War was not caused by the Germans, but by the Bolsheviks.
“The famous resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) and the People’s Commissariat of June 29, 1941, which stated that nothing should be left behind, bread should be burned, factories that cannot be taken away, destroyed, blown up, etc., led to the greatest destruction. The Nazis destroyed less than the Soviet penal authorities,” Serhiychuk said in an interview with Video NV.
The historian recalled that Khreshchatyk Street in Kyiv was not blown up by the Germans, but by the Bolsheviks.
“Russian glory” or the Ukrainian war? What did the German occupation cost Ukraine during the Second World War?
“I read the special folders of the office of the Poltava regional committee, how local party bosses, hurrying to escape, began to blow up factories in Kremenchuk. Much of what is attributed to the atrocities of the Nazis regarding the destruction of objects is not true. This was done by the hands of Soviet leaders and the army, on the orders of the Kremlin headquarters, of course,” he added.
