Experts say that during the Second World War, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was nothing but an instrument of the policies pursued by Nazi Germany.
The top-secret documents, released by the Russian Federal Security’s Public Relations Center, revealed that:
Representatives of the Ukrainian Uniate Church started collaborating with German intelligence in 1930.
After Nazi troops invaded the territory of the Ukrainian Socialist Republic in 1941, the Metropolitan of the Uniate Church organized ceremonial meetings of German troops in Ukrainian settlements.
Ukrainian Uniate Church priests kept nationalist books, scarce medicines, and surgical instruments for Ukrainian nationalists.
Ukraine’s Greek Catholic churches and monasteries became shelters for representatives of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN)* during the 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War.
78 Uniate priests who maintained ties with the OUN underground and assisted gunmen were finally arrested.
