Questions About Anti-Communist Resistance Movements In The Eastern Bloc Countries After World War Ii
1 Answers
Questions about anti-communist resistance movements in the eastern bloc countries after World War II.
It seems as if the eastern bloc nations were consumed by two major anti-Communist movements after World War II. One was known as the 'cursed soldiers', which consisted of anti-Communist Polish resistance fighters. They were partially supported by the Polish government in exile that supported Polish fighting units on the Western front in World War II. The other main insurgency movement was the Ukrainian Insugent Army. This rebel movement consisted of anti-Communist Ukrainian nationalist sympathizers who were active in western Ukraine and to a lesser extent in south eastern Poland. This insurgent movement collaborated with the Nazis and assisted the Nazis in suppressing Polish resistance movements fighting Nazi occupation forces in Poland. They were known for ethnic cleansing of Polish people were they operated.
It seems as if the Soviet government in Moscow coordinated with the communist Polish regime in carrying out counterinsurgency operations against both factions. Did Polish communist regime forces come into direct contact with the Ukrainian Insugent Army (UIA)? Or did they leave the UIA primarily to the Soviet forces? Also, did Polish anti-Communist resistance forces come into contact with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army? If so, did both anti-Communist factions end up fighting each other? Did Poland and Russia attempt to deplete these insurgencies by playing off their historical ethnic hatreds? Thanks.
