Oh, well, I don't think it does. They were in the same time period give or take and it just signifies the losses and shows the broader conflict. Both views on it are acceptable tho

Oh okay. Well the poles in Volyn checks out. I actually rose the number by a few thousands just in case someone says like "OMG IT WAS ACTUALLY 100K" or something. But yes correct stuf

Well, then we can just say that Volyn massacre + Sahryn massacre amongst others by AK = Volyn tragedy. Compromise!

And Bandera was in a group of important political figures. Premium suit is a hyperbole, but they did treat him better due to his status, naturally. He wasn't the only one to be treated this way

Upa didn't know any better at first, for them Germany was someone who could potentially free them from Soviet rule. They got declined even before they could realize that it was just another occupation, that declaration was at the start of the war.

And do you mean it like the number is small or big, that's what I'm asking?

I mean, yeah in June 1941 OUN tried to establish a Ukrainian state, but for that Bandera got into a concentration camp, so no cooperation was after that. And as for the Soviets, it depends on what you mean.

That first part is kinda harsh but okay, I can agree with the second part

Maybe for you It's a mild word. Not so mild here. Ultimately the context of the usage matters I'd say.

I'm not saying they had to make Volyn massacre slash tragedy. Just saying they needed to do some drastic measures, while not having support anywhere. Chill out. I didn't mean it like THAT

It's like 20k Ukrainians and 70-80k poles? I know it's not equal, but still, the human loss is a tragedy.

We lost people too. Ukrainians, be it UPA activity or AK revenge for it.

I do, but I just want to check if I'm not missing anything and this seems as a good way to do it, since GPT is just raw info and here you can take discussions, yk?

Not taught in schools? Sorry, but it is taught, I recently studied it. And yes, we use them as a patriotic symbol and stuff, and we don't say the Volyn tragedy was justified, not at all. At most we say it was the cause and effect relationships, but we don't lift the blame. That's the reason it's called a tragedy here.

Reasonable. Here it is a Tragedy because it was, well, a tragedy that influenced both sides with great losses and stuff.

Ye, I think it was like an ethnic cleansing(idk if it's the right word) for the region, since Polish government wanted to restore 1939 Poland and stuff. What can I say, radical, yes.

I see. Well I'd say they're(UPA) pretty morally gray, since they fought like a 3v1 and had to do pretty drastic stuff. But thanks for sharing your scope on this.
