We should not be ashamed of our Heroes: how a National Pantheon will strengthen Ukraine and its army. Interview with Mykhalchyshyn
18 August in Ukraine there was a reburial of Colonel of the Ukrainian People's Army and the first leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), Yevhen Konovalets. He was murdered in 1938 by an NKVD agent, and since then the Hero rested in a cemetery in Rotterdam (Netherlands). The burial of Yevhen Konovalets in a military cemetery near Kyiv is temporary. Later his remains will be transferred to the Ukrainian National Pantheon, which, according to preliminary estimates, will be created on the territory of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
Officer of the Third Army Corps Yurii Mykhalchyshyn shared his thoughts on this in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA.
