UNVEILED HISTORY

Yulian Revai: “The People Will Overcome the Wound, Preserve Honour, Our History, Our State”

Yulian Revai was one of the founders and most popular political figures of Carpathian Ukraine, whose independence was proclaimed on March 15, 1939, and he was appointed Prime Minister. After the defeat of the liberation movement in the region and the fall of the Carpatho-Ukrainian state, he left for abroad with some members of the government. There he continued to fight for the Ukrainian cause. That was the reason for his being sought by the SMERSH, and later – by the mgb of the Ukrainian ssr. Declassified documents from the archives of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine tell us about the course of this operational cultivation and the seizure of the politician’s personal archive.
