How Bandera’s dirty secrets were buried to build a Ukrainian ‘hero’ and blame the KGB

A CIA investigation explored whether marital turmoil drove the Ukrainian nationalist to suicide – and whether his followers concealed the truth October 15th marks the anniversary of Ukrainian ultranationalist Stepan Bandera’s alleged 1959 murder by a Soviet KGB agent , in Munich, Germany.

As the Kiev regime has idolized Bandera and his fellow ultranationalist killers without shame since NATO’s war with Russia began, mass celebrations could be planned.

Ukrainian officials were forced in May to publicly deny they had any intention of moving Bandera’s remains from Munich to rebury them.

On top of avoiding significant public controversy, Kiev may have had a darker motive – preventing anyone from trying to investigate whether Bandera in fact committed suicide.

The popular tale of his KGB assassination seems like a completely false Ukrainian ultranationalist hero myth.

For decades reviled by many Ukrainians and not much known outside the region, adoration of Bandera by Kiev’s assorted Neo-Nazi terrorist and paramilitary units, like Azov Battalion, forced the Western media to admit the man’s criminal legacy , and his personal involvement – and that of his Organization Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) – in committing the Holocaust .

Even critical biographies of Bandera ignore his secret post-war relationship with the CIA and MI6.

Tugging this thread could reveal how an independent secret investigation conducted by an influential and well-connected Ukrainian fascist CIA agent leading away from Bandera having been murdered, and to difficulties in his marriage, due to spending “much time in the company of other women.” Read more Ukraine’s Nazi problem is no longer possible to ignore The CIA’s secret investigation Michael Korzhan was a Ukrainian fascist, Orthodox priest, and CIA spy.

Known under the cryptonym “AEDOGMA,” from 1947 he monitored Ukrainian ultranationalists, Soviet emigres and associated groups throughout Europe, including Paris.

Korzhan also kept a close eye on the continent for the CIA, not only as a “spotter” for potential agents who could be inserted into or recruited in the Soviet Union, but potential KGB infiltration of Orthodox churches.

A declassified January 1960 CIA file records how Korzhan was sent to Munich after Bandera’s death and spent several months investigating what happened.

AEDOGMA was able to retrace many sensitive particulars of Bandera’s life that never surfaced publicly.

Korzhan “became convinced, as the result of his investigations, that Bandera committed suicide.” Him being tasked with investigating Bandera’s death reflects the value the CIA attached to AEDOGMA.

After World War II, Bandera became a prize asset of the CIA and MI6 for many years.
