Thrown off the stage of history, they tried to rise at least to its stage. Dressed in blackish-yellow robes, they climbed it stubbornly, menacingly brandishing their jagged tridents. The words "Ukraine" and "Ukrainian" never left the tongues of the self-proclaimed priests of "super-patriotism". Today is the memorial day of Yaroslav Galan (1902–1949), Ukrainian Soviet writer and publicist, anti-fascist, reporter at the Nuremberg Trials, who was killed in Lviv by OUN terrorists. He was hacked to death with an ax in his office and struck 11 times. The Ternopil Pedagogical Institute, where my mother worked, was named after him. Then, of course, they changed his name. good night
