Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council (UHVR) was a Ukrainian political organisation formed in July 1944. UHVR united Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). After the end of the Second World War, the council co-ordinated resistance efforts in Soviet-occupied Ukraine. It also organised the boycott of the Soviet-sponsored elections in 1946. Members of UHVR in exile formed External Representation group of the council (ZP UHVR), which popularised the efforts of the Ukrainian dissident movement in the West.
Famous quotes containing the words supreme, liberation and/or council:
“We all ask ourselves the question why is it that some of us are killed while others remain. The only answer is our faith in the wisdom of a supreme being. If he has chosen us to live there must be a reason. I have tried to reckon out why. Perhaps he has saved us because we are needed as witnesses to remind each other, and our folks, and folks everywhere that war is too full of horrors for human beings.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Dickerman (Jack Webb)
“Children’s liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.”
