History of sedition, conspiracy

Moroz linked to Munich '

Stating that “the Soviet Em-
bassy in Canada receives occa-
sionally letters from Canadians
concerning the criminal Valentin
Moroz,. which show their un-
awareness of the facts,” the Em-
bassy has revealed to the press
the extent of Moroz’s traitorous
acts.

Moroz’s case history discloses
that the anti-Soviet campaign
utilizing his name is directed
from Munich by one Yarsoslav
Stetsko who once wrote:

“The Ukrainian state will
closely cooperate with the great
National Socialist | Germany
which under the leadership of
Adolf Hitler, will create a new
order in Europe and the world.
The Ukrainian army will fight
together with the allied German
army for a new order for the
world.”

‘At his Munich headquarters at
67 Zeppelinstrasse, the Soviet
sources divulge, Stetsko, “who
is in charge of subversive activi-
ties in the organization”—Uk-
rainian Liberation Council
stated:

“Moroz is our man
Bolshevik den.” .

Extermination of Jews

In its damning exposé, the
USSR Embassy statement says:
“The same Y. Stetsko is
known to have written with his
own hand a manuscript stating
his political convictions for the
nazis: ‘I firmly stand for the
extermination of the Jews and
the expediency of the extension
to the Ukraine of the German
methods of their destruction.’
“Following the same national-
ist path,” the Soviet statement
charges, ‘‘Moroz preached hatred
toward Russians, Byelorussians
and other nationalities. He tried
to foment national strife and ac-
tually advocated terrorism, prais-
ing the smashed gangs of the
underground terrorist organiza-
tion of Ukrainian Nationalists
who collaborated with Hitler
during the Second World War.”
In view of what is seen as a
campaign by Ukrainian national-
ists nesting in Canada and the

By FILS DELISLE
BERLIN — This week’s state
visit of Yugoslav President Josip
Broz Tito in the GDR has struck
a hard blow at the newspaper
propagandists and political cir-
cles in the West who have been
trying to undercut fraternal rela-
tions between Yugoslavia and

other socialist countries.

In the words of ‘“Kommunist,”
theoretical organ of the League
of Communists in Belgrade, “the
visit is seen, both by our own
people and in the host country
— and undoubtedly far beyond
our borders — as a significant
event in deepening our good
relations.”

For some months a press com-
paign in the West has sought to
conjure up lurid plots by social-
ist countries against Yugoslav
sovereignty. Most recently,
United States press agencies
have played the game to the
point of insinuating Western im-
perialism will be glad to step in
on Yugoslav’s behalf against the
socialist world,

This propaganda is repudiated
by Tito’s visit here and simulta-
neous expressions of, the exist-
ence, and further need, of cor-

big business press here to dupe
Canadians into accepting a per-
version of the facts in the Moroz
case, the Embassy has issued a

“lengthy statement of Moroz’s ac-

tivities. ,

Valentin Moroz is serving nine
years in prison “in conformity
with the sentence passed by a
People’s Court of Justice in the
Ukrainian town of Ivano-Frank-
ivsk. :

Sought Intervention

“His crime consisted of sedi-
tious intent and conspiracy ...
He taught and advocated the use

. Of force as a means of ac-
complishing a governmental
change in the Soviet Union. His
aim was to abolish the existing
legal power in the Ukraine and
to separate it from the USSR—
by any means, including force,
with the help of foreign armies.”

It is no secret that this is con-
sistent with the aims of the
Ukrainian nationalists in Can-
ada.

“Moroz justified terrorism of
nationalistic gangs from the
smashed OUN underground (Or-
ganization of Ukrainian Nationa-
lists) which collaborated with
the Nazis . . . supplied Hitler
with gangmen and butchers . . .
used terrorist tactics, killing and
torturing hundreds of Ukrain-
ians.”

Under Article 62-1 of the
Penal Code of the Ukrainian Re-
public, Moroz was sentenced to
four years. In the corrective ]a-
bor camp, the statements says,
Moroz “continued to propagate
ethnic slurs,” incited others to
violate the regulations, and
“produced a slanderous ‘report-
age’,” which was sent abroad.

Seditious Intent

“On Sept. 1, 1963,” the state-
ment continues, ‘Moroz was re-
leased and came to Ivano-Fran-
kivsk. He did not try to find a
job, however, but lived on the
money sent through secret chan-

nels by anti-Soviet nationalist

organizations from _ abroad.
Moroz again set about forming
and hammering together a con-
spiracy with seditious intent
among high school students, try-

dial fraternal relations by leaders
and commentators in both
countries.

Thus “Kommunist” praises the
economic cooperation between
both countries and declares:
“Under these conditions one can
look upon the talks between
Erich Honecker and other high

representatives of the GDR as

an event that will contribute to
furthet mutual understanding
between our two countries and
parties.”

Honecker, first secretary of
Socialist Unity Party, issued an
invitation to Tito to make an of-
ficial visit to the GDR. The
entire GDR press has featured
commentaries drawing attention
to the depth and cordiality in
relations between the two coun-

. tries. The Yugoslav side has re-

ciprocated with similar declara-
tions. Thus “Borba” a leading
communist newspaper in Bel-
grade, writes: “Both sides orien-
tate themselves on the long-term
nature of their economic agree-
ments, of their investments and
deliveries, in the furthering of
their cooperative relations, and
that in many ways best ex-
presses the complementary na-

ing to abuse their inexperience,
but he miscalculated.

“He was caught red-handed,”
tried again under the same
article, and sentenced to ‘nine
years.

The publication, News from
Ukraine, having studied Moroz’s
work, reports that in “his ‘his-
torical’ conception, the develop-
ment of industry runs counter
to Ukrainian culture, since it de-
stroys the ‘atmosphere’ of cul-
tural development. ‘Dechristiani-
zation, collectivization and in-

dustrialization’ Moroz declares, ~

‘means breaking Ukrainian tra-
Structures.” Moroz
would like everything in the
Ukraine to be again the way it
was prior to the Socialist Revo-
lution, so that private owner-
ship, the Uniate Church’s spirit-
ual enslave, and economic back-
wardness would be preserved.
This Ukraine of the past, the
Ukraine of the bourgeoisie and

landlords, is near and dear to

Moroz’s heart.”

Sabotage Actions

The same publication quotes
Y. Stetsko as Saying that every-
thing Moroz has written is “in
line with the directives and dir-
ections of the 4th Great Assem-
bly of the OUN.” This assem-
bly’s plans are further revealed
in a statement issued by 3V7 I

Mikheev, counsellor. for press~

and information at the Soviet
Embassy in Ottawa. The state-
ment charges that the OUN
“urged the supposed Moroz-like
nationalists in the USSR ‘by dif-
ferent subversive and sabotage
acttions to weaken the Soviet
defence system’, ‘to organize
work among the soldiers of the
Soviet army, etc.” .. .”

Pointing out that Moroz “was
found guilty of conspiracy, aim-
ing to seize power over the
Ukraine with the help of foreign
military intervention,” the state-
ment asserts that “the human
rights of Soviet citizens includes
freedom from lies, slander, libel-
ling, preaching national hatred,
ethnic slurs and... guarantees
against any form of alien inter-
vention,”

ture of their economies. That
also results in their great inter-
est, not only to preserve what
has already been attained, but

‘also jointly to achieve new and

greater breakthroughs.”

In can be said that the GDR
has carefully nurtured its good
relations with Yugoslavia and
has found a friendly response in

Yugoslavia. Like other socialist.

countries, it has not let different
viewpoints on internal socialist
organization of society impede
development of these relations.

gymnastics were a little-known
sport in North America. For the
spectator, this discipline was
somewhere in the neighborhood
of target-shooting or canoeing
and didn’t have the mass appeal
as did track and field.

Some believe it was the incre-
dible performance of the USSR’s

Olympics that brought gymnas-

Sponsored by the Ontario

were invited to send two gym-
nasts each and they were all
