The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists:
Declaration of Ukrainian Independence, 1941:
By the will of the Ukrainian people, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the direction of Stepan Bandera proclaims the formation of the Ukrainian State for which whole generations of the finest sons of Ukraine have laid down their lives. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which under the direction and founder and leader Yevhen Konovalets, has undertaken in the past ten years a bloody battle with the Moscovite-Bolshevik enslavers in an energetic battle for freedom, calls all the Ukrainian people not to lay down theeir weapons until all Ukrainian lands are united to form a Sovereign Ukrainian Government. The Sovereign Ukrainian Government will guarantee the Ukrainian people order, independent development of all its energies, and of all its needs.
In the western lands of Ukraine a Ukrainian Government has been formed. It will be subordinate to the Ukrainian National Government that will be formed in the capital of Ukraine--Kiev.
The newly formed Ukrainian state will work closely with NationalSocialist Greater Germany, under the leadership of its leader Adolf Hitler, which is forming a new order in Europe and the world and is helping the Ukrainian People to free itself from Moscovite occupation. The Ukrainian People's Revolutionary Army which has been formed on the Ukrainian lands, will continue to fight with the Allied German Army against Moscovite occupation for a sovereign and united State and a new order in the whole world.
Long live the Ukrainian Sovereign United Ukraine!
Long live the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists!
Long live the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian people – STEPAN BANDERA!
GLORY TO UKRAINE!
