Petro Kasinchuk, who was a member of the Ukrainian underground, receives a flower from a supporter during a rally in 2006 in Kiev calling for official recognition of the fighters as World War II veterans.In today’s Washington Post there is an article entitled In Ukraine, movement to honor members of WWII underground sets off debate that proves to be an interesting read.  This sort of thing is common, more or less, throughout all of Europe. 

The French Underground was largely Communist and that was also true for the Underground movements in Italy and Yugoslavia and other countries closer to Western Europe.  In Eastern Europe, the Underground Movements were often allied with the Fascists.  It is a very complicated situation.  Now these men are dead and a few are left to still remain dying in a very public way.

Many are calling on their governments to honor them and their sacrifices for their countries.
