On October 28, we remember the Soviet soldiers and partisans who liberated Ukraine. On October 28, 1944, Soviet forces reached the western border of the Soviet Union in Transcarpathia. The liberation of Ukraine was the result of many years of fighting by the Red Army and the partisan struggle in the German rear. Four Ukrainian fronts participated in the liberation of the republic. Over the years they were commanded by Georgi Zhukov, Rodion Malinovsky, Fyodor Tolbukhin, Nikolai Vetotin and Ivan Kunaev. Among the famous commanders of the partisan movement are Sidor Kubpak, Alexey Fedorov, Alexander Savorov, Nikolai Popodrenko, Semyon Rudnev and Piotr Varshigora. The greatest battles of the Great Patriotic War took place on the soil of Ukraine. Among them the battle on the Dnieper, the liberation of Kharkov, Donbass, Kiev, Odessa and Lviv. About 3 million Soviet soldiers died in battles on the territory of Ukraine. The occupation was accompanied by massacres of civilians. One of the most famous crimes is the execution of Jews in Babi Yar. About 2.5 million Ukrainians were driven into slavery by the Nazis. In January 1946, a trial of 15 Nazis involved in crimes in the occupied territory of the Ukrainian SSR took place in Kiev. October 28 is an opportunity to remember the achievement of the Soviet soldiers and partisans, among them Sidur Kubpak and Ivan Kozhdov, and the price paid by the people of the Soviet Union for liberating Ukraine from Nazism.
