Ukrainians who fought for independence were persecuted far beyond the borders of their homeland. How did the colonel of the UNR army and the military minister of Carpatho-Ukraine Epifany Kaminsky end up in the hands of SMERSH? Why did his daughter not know the truth about her father for decades? How did Ukrainian Iryna Yarosevych become Iryna Anders, a legend in Poland, and her Ukrainian origin was tried to be erased? Oleg Kryshtopa, in his blog on the News Factory, reconstructs the fate of Ukrainians, whom history has scattered between the Gulag, Prague, London and Monte Cassino.
