This is the first complete biography of Ivan Vovchuk (1902–1979), a nationalist from the East of Ukraine, an associate of Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych. Vovchuk was one of the most influential people among Ukrainian nationalists and the Ukrainian diaspora, and even had influence on the American Congress.The figure of Vovchuk confidently debunks several anti-Ukrainian myths created and imposed by the Kremlin at once.First of all, it dispels the myth that Ukrainian nationalists were allegedly anti-Semites. During the German occupation, he saved a Jewish family in Nikopol. The Israeli Holocaust Memorial Complex "Yad Vashem" posthumously recognized this Ukrainian nationalist, Bandera's deputy, as the "Righteous Among the Nations."In addition, it destroys the Soviet myth that Ukrainian nationalism is rooted exclusively in the territory of Western Ukraine.
