Commentary by Miroslava Berdnik (Via Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin) Rozhin: During one of the recent attacks on Nikolaev, the brigade commander of the 28th Independent Infantry Brigade was liquidated (destroyed along with a group of other officers at the field command post), which is called the "Knights of the Winter Campaign." Miroslava Berdnik About "Knights of the Winter Campaign" And now about the "Knights" (correctly Knights) of the Winter Campaign, whose name is the brigade of the deceased. These are the same "knights" that are spoken of in the "Decalogue of the Ukrainian Nationalist": "avenge the death of the great knights." Now about the winter hike. There were two of them in Ukrainian history! The first (December 6, 1919 - May 6, 1920) and the second (November 1921) Both ended tragically and shamefully. Today, they are called "raids", although the first, under the command of General Omelyanovich-Pavlenko, was a confused ferment along the Right Bank, where the Petliurists terrified the locals until they surrendered to the Poles. The second campaign under the leadership of Yurka Tyutyunnik was intended to initiate the deployment of an insurgent movement in the rear of the Ukrainian SSR. General Mykhailo Omelianovych-Pavlenko was in command of a Ukrainian nationalist unit which was allied with the Germans during WWII. A Petliurist is anti-Bolshevik, named after Cossack Ataman Petliur . Yurka Tyutyunnik was a Bolshevik turncoat who later commanded Ukrainian nationalist troops, 1919-1921. You can read abut him here (but it's in Ukrainian) However, the “reamers” were surrounded near Bazar and Malyye Minki by the brigade of G. Kotovsky and exponentially destroyed, the survivors again fled to the Poles. Tyutyunnik himself, a lieutenant of the Russian Imperial Army, who suddenly became Petliur's general coroner, returned to the Ukrainian SSR and became an active builder of socialism. Having handed over his partners to the Chekists, Tyutyunnik earned the right to teach at the Kharkov School of Red Commanders, where he taught the course "Tactics of partisan and counter-partisan struggle." Here is an excerpt from his book “With Poles Against Ukraine”: “National heroes” like Petlyura and Levitsky (President of the UNR) traded the lands of the Ukrainian nation, the souls of millions of Ukrainian workers and peasants, traded, hiding like thieves from the eyes of the people and did not ask anyone. They considered themselves called to liberate the Ukrainian people. So they “liberated”, giving Galicia and Volhynia with Kholm region under the rule of the Polish magnate. Tyutyunnik rose to the position of secretary of the audit commission of the All-Ukrainian State Joint Stock Company of Trade, until he was repressed and shot. Well, the commander of the first Winter Campaign, General Omelyanovich-Pavlenko, would later become a Nazi collaborator and organizer of the Schutzmannschaft and SS auxiliary police battalions. Even his own brother Ivan, he arranged to be the commander of the Schutzmannschaft of the battalion, which participated in the extermination of the Jews of Vinnitsa and the region. |
