War After Victory. Bandera and Vlasov: A Verdict Without a Statute of Limitations

The author of this book, the well-known writer Armen Gasparyan, addresses a difficult topic: the revival of Nazism and nationalism in the post-Soviet space. What are the roots of such a phenomenon? That young people didn’t know war? That strained relations between peoples? Or maybe it’s very beneficial to someone? If you want to know the future—look into the past. But what if even the past turns out unpredictable, distorted in every possible way by modern propagandists and politicians?

Armen Gasparyan decided to introduce readers, especially young ones, to the history of the Vlasov and Bandera movements, as well as to their modern successors. In the author’s view, their story will become firmly a thing of the past only when we study it and draw lessons. Until that happens, it won’t be the past—it will be our reality. Look at what is happening in Ukraine.
