metadata.value: The article reviews actions of Omsk Region Office of Ministry of State Security (MSS) towards politically
  active Ukrainian nationalists among deportees from the Dragobychsky region of Western Ukraine and
  assesses their vindication in the Russian Federation. This study is based on archival documents from legal prosecutions
  of Ukrainian deportees stored in the Records Office of Omsk Region of Federal Security Service and
  recently opened for scholarly review, as well as exhibits from the History section of the Omsk Office of the FSB.
  Legal prosecutions documents were analysed using a prosopographic method to reconstruct a typical picture of
  young Ukrainian deportees who continued to believe in the values of Ukrainian nationalism and kept connections
  with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN)/Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). All prosecuted Ukrainians
  were driven to nationalism by conditions of their upbringing. The young men were deportees from Western
  Ukraine and of peasant origin. The OUN/UPA were widely supported by the rural population in this region. They
  were deported to Siberia as family members of UPA militias fighting against the Soviet army. Having nationalist
  views, all prosecuted young men sincerely supported the creation of an independent Ukrainian state and did not
  accept Soviet authority that did not allow this creation, and so they were deported from their homeland. Omsk
  MSS agents, together with their Ukrainian colleagues, identified young radical nationalists. Some of those were
  active members of underground militant groups and during World War II carried out intelligence requests for
  OUN/UPA and provided information for its members. The author concludes that the nationalistic activities of these Ukrainian youth were are a real threat to security of the Soviet state and as such the fact of their vindication in the
  Russian Federation is not well-grounded from historical point of view.
