Ukrainian People's Militia ([ Українська Народна Міліція ] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), was military formation[citation needed] by OUN-B[citation needed] in the General Government[citation needed] and later in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine,[citation needed] set up after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. It was made up of ethnic Ukrainians - Bandera’s OUN followers[citation needed] and constitute a main part of the Bandera’s OUN Sluzhba Bezpeky in second half of the 1941.[citation needed] In major cities it was almost immediately placed under command and within days incorporated into Nazi Germany Sicherheitspolizei/Gestapo ".[1] . In other places transformation into Ukrainian Auxiliary Police continued until end of September –October 1941. In rural areas it was disbanded or transformed into the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police by November 1941.[citation needed]

Members of the Ukrainian People's Militia also were given the task of registering all Jews and enforcing that they wore a yellow star on their clothing.[2][3][4]

Ukrainian People's Militia Instruction

Along with other ordinary tasks it was suggested that the Militia will stage actions against “hostile elements”:

... ... There are an elements (a “supporters of the regime and NKVD”) which at the time of the creation of the new revolutionary regime in Ukraine must be neutralized. These elements are:

  • The Muscovites dispatched at the Ukrainian lands to root the Moscow’s power in the Ukraine;
  • The Jews, individually and as a national group;
  • The foreigners, mostly are different Asians, which Moscow used to colonizes the Ukraine- to create the Ukraine ethnical chess board;
  • The Poles on the West Ukrainian lands, which did not give dreams to build the Great Poland, even just at the expense of the Ukrainian lands, even if Poland will became red. "[5]

The objectives of the "People's Militia" was to stage an initial "cleaning out of the NKVD personnel, Muscovites, Jews and others" as well as compiling lists of "noted in the harassment and persecution" of Ukrainians "- primarily" non-Ukrainians "- but actually the Jews, Muscovites and Poles." For urban commands of the People's Militia were "recommended" that ... after cleansing among the NKVD personnel, Muscovites, Jews and others it can begin to organize the proper life in the city. "

Also, "The People's Militia" had to act in such way that «the army and the authorities of the ally will see the benefit for their own from the existence of the People's Militia".[6]

State security department of the Militia

The Ukrainian People's Militia structure also included a "political department” - which is similar to the Gestapo (familiar to the OUN-R organization) - named as a "Secret State Police ".

[7]

Formation

On June 25, Yaroslav Stetsko wrote to Stepan Bandera that OUN had “formed a militia to remove the Jews”.[8] After the proclamation of the “Ukrainian Statehood with the leader of Stepan Bandera” in its government was created UDB (Department of the State Security). The July 2, 1941 Bandera’s OUN People's militia - established by Yaroslav Stetsko group at Lemberg - was placed under the command of the Security police and Secret police [9]

By August 7, 1941 Ukrainian People's Militia stations were established at most areas conquered by Wehrmacht including Lviv, Ternopil, Stanislavov, Lutsk, Rivne, Yavoriv, Kamenetz-Podolsk, Drogobych, Borislav, Dubno, Sambor, Kostopol, Sarny, Kozovyi, Zolochiv, Berezhany, Pidhaytsi, Kolomyya, Rava-Ruska, Gorodok, Obroshyno, Radekhiv, Gorodok, Kosovo, Terebovlia, Vyshnivtsi, Zbarazh, Zhytomyr and Fastov [10][11]

If available, personnel of the Bandera’s OUN People's militia should use captured Soviet Army uniform with yellow-blue armband at the left sleeve. If unavailable, it should be a white armband with text in Ukrainian “People's Militia”([ Народна Міліція ] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)).[12]

Role in the Holocaust

June 25, 1941 Yaroslav Stetsko wrote to Stepan Bandera: "We are creating the militia, which helps to remove the Jewish population and protect our people".[13]

Members of the Ukrainian People's Militia took part in round-ups of Jews for mass executions and participate in it, escorted Jews to their forced labour sites and create an early ghettos.[14][15][16]

The Ukrainian militia participated in the Lviv pogroms. During the four-week pogrom from the end of June to early July 1941, 4,000 Jews were murdered.[17]

Transformation into the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police

In major cities it was almost immediately incorporated into Nazi Germany Sicherheitspolizei/Gestapo. In other places transformation into Ukrainian Auxiliary Police continued until end of September –October 1941. In rural areas it was disbanded or transformed into the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police by November 1941.

Activity reports

  • Bandera’s OUN Report

July 28, 1941

Our police now conducting with the German authorities numerous arrests of the Jews. Prior to the liquidation, Jews were tried to protected themselves in all ways, primarily in cash.

August 18, 1941

…. Ukrainian militia did not stop pillages, torments and killings. ... Poles equalized with Jews, and they are required to wear armbands on the sleeves. In many places the Ukrainian militia units formed a "Ukrainian Security Service", "Ukrainian Gestapo", etc. …

[18]

  • German report to OKW

December 2, 1941

Aktion moved in the main from east to west. It was carried out entirely in public, with the assistance of Ukrainian militia; in many cases, regrettably, also with the voluntary participation of members of the Wehrmacht. These Aktionen included aged men, women, and children of all ages, and the manner in which they were carried out was appalling. The gigantic number of executions involved in this Aktion is far greater than any similar measure undertaken in the Soviet Union up to now. Altogether about 150,000 to 200,000 Jews may have been executed in this section of the Ukraine belonging to the RK [Reichskommissariat];
