Volodymyr Kubiovych, a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator who helped organize the SS Galicia division and who was editor in chief of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine^1 compiled at the University of Alberta, is also named. A photograph of a parade in Lviv, Ukraine, in July, 1943, shows Mr. Kubiovych making a Nazi salute alongside Otto Wächter, a senior member of the SS who also served as governor of Galicia and Krakow. The document notes that Mr. Kubiovych had died in Paris in 1985.

Prominent Ukrainian-Canadian advocates have opposed the release of the Deschênes list, with some raising fears about personal safety. Last year, after declining to release it, the government expressed concern that publishing it could boost discredited Russian propaganda about Ukraine having Nazi ties.

Although some members of the Ukrainian SS Galicia division who settled in Canada after the war are on the version of the list studied by Prof. McBride, other Ukrainians who volunteered to join the Nazi-led division, and who settled here, are absent from it.

Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division who was given two standing ovations in the House of Commons public gallery by MPs during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2023, causing Canada international embarrassment, does not appear to be on the list.

Many of the names of people still living in 1986 are redacted, but not their birth dates. The alphabetized list does not include Mr. Hunka’s recorded 1925 birth date. He turned 100 this week.

I dunno guys, sounds like Putler talking points to me.
