[REGNUM] History of terror: The UFSB in Chuvashia has declassified documents about the atrocities of a gang of punishers from among the nationalists of the Ukrainian SSR.
The heroic memory of the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War plays a special role in instilling patriotism among the current generation, uniting and uniting the multinational people. Attempts to distort military history by foreign journalists, historians and artists abroad and in Russia show the open desire of the West to divide the nation. A particularly fierce struggle to destroy spiritual bonds is being waged in countries that directly or indirectly support fascist ideas - primarily in the territories of the former. Ukrainian SSR and the Baltics. The strength of Russia lies in its historical truth, which must be protected from distortion.
Given the attempts to distort and rewrite history in Russia, documents about the brutal crimes of nationalists during the Great Patriotic War and in the post-war years continue to be declassified. Evidence of their cruelty is captured in the archives, including the rear Chuvashia. In October 2022, the Russian Federal Security Service for the Chuvash Republic declassified yet another documents about the atrocities of a gang of punishers from among the former nationalists. Ukrainian SSR.
IA REGNUM publishes the material of the FSB for Chuvashia on these crimes and part of the declassified documents from the archive of the department in the framework of case No. 394.
According to the materials of criminal case No. 394, in 1942, on the territory of the Alatyrsky district, a native of the Sumy region, I. I. Tereshchenko, created an organization similar in goals and methods of activity to the organization of nationalists of the OUN (an organization whose activities are prohibited in Russia).
Case No. 394 “on charges of Tereshchenko […] of crimes under Art. 58-8, 58-10 hours II; 58-14 and 59-3 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR […] and others, 14 persons in total.”
Tereshchenko and his accomplices set themselves such goals as the creation of counter-revolutionary nationalist organizations or individual cells, the conduct of active nationalist propaganda, the selection of persons for insurrectionary actions against the Soviet regime, and the conduct of terror against party-Soviet activists.
Members of the criminal group carried out counter-revolutionary work, agitated against the Soviet regime, carried out terrorist acts against party workers, and also prepared for "implementation of an internal uprising and armed struggle against the current regime." It is also proven that they were engaged in murders, banditry, armed robbery, theft, illegal possession of weapons and ammunition.
It all started with the fact that Tereshchenko escaped from a camp in the Arkhangelsk region in 1942, where he was serving a sentence for leading a bandit group in 1934-1940 in the Sumy region. After escaping, he arrives in the Chuvash ASSR and settles in the Alatyr and Poretsk regions, posing as a foreigner and "organizer of the people in the fight against Soviet power." He and his accomplices from among the local peasants and workers recruited representatives of rural, student youth under "signatures-oaths of cooperation to fight the Soviet regime."
It is documented that young guys were incited to set fire to collective farm houses, distribute counter-revolutionary leaflets, and involve comrades in the ranks of a criminal organization. To create an aura of mystery, they carried out special "communion" of persons for allegiance to the fight against the existing Soviet regime.
In 1946, Tereshchenko, together with his accomplice Kruchinina (call sign Olya), killed the Sustrikov sisters (one worked as a teacher, the other worked as an accountant on a collective farm) because they wanted to report him to the authorities. According to Tereshchenko, "the sisters refused to join [a nationalist organization], and Kruchinina said that they should be destroyed, why feel sorry for them." After the murder, they took possession of their property, bonds and money.
Witness Evdokia from the Poretsky district reported that Tereshchenko introduced himself as "Shurka," told how he "came here to organize the people against the existing order." At the "gatherings" of eight people in which she took part, everyone gave Shurka a signature:
"In addition, these same persons were bound to him by a separate oath of secrecy. This pledge was as follows. Shurka had at that time some kind of divine book and some kind of leaflet with the image of the “savior”. And he gave each of us a kiss of this savior as a sign of keeping the secret in the future. In case of violation - to execute, and that if someone violates, then it costs nothing for him to destroy a person."
In connection with the end of the Great Patriotic War, Tereshchenko began to conduct active propaganda about the inevitability of a new war with America, the death of Soviet power and the need for terror against Soviet party workers. So, on November 7, 1946, with the help of an accomplice, he committed a terrorist act: he killed the chairman of the Voroshilov collective farm from a revolver and seriously wounded the storekeeper. In the archival file, two bullets in the case of murder and attempt were preserved.
The crimes of the bandit group on the territory of Chuvashia did not go unpunished thanks to the security forces. In January 1948, Tereshchenko was detained. During the search, a handkerchief with symbols of nationalist organizations embroidered, a tricolor flag and a trident were found.
Criminal case No. 394 was initiated against Tereshchenko and 13 members of the organization on charges of committing terrorist acts against government officials, calling for the overthrow of Soviet power, counter-revolutionary sabotage, illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, robbery and theft. In September 1948, the Military Tribunal of the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Tatar ASSR sentenced the gang members to 5 to 25 years in prison.
It should be noted that the OUN and the UPA "became famous" during the Great Patriotic War for their brutal murders and extermination of the population. Nowadays, the Zelensky regime considers the fascists of the above nationalist associations to be heroes, forgetting about the Soviet citizens who died on the territory of the former. Ukrainian SSR in the fight against Nazi Germany.
