Бізнесмен, спортсмен, повстанець. Ким НАСПРАВДІ був Роман Шухевич?

Roman Shukhevych is a figure around whom spears are still being broken in historical discussions. We are used to seeing him exclusively in harsh war photos, but what was his real civilian life like?

You will learn: From which aristocratic family did the future leader of the underground come? How did Shukhevych become a successful entrepreneur in interwar Lviv and where did he spend the profits of the "Fama" company? Why did Ukrainian nationalists go for pragmatic cooperation with German circles and how did this conflict end? How did the UPA under his leadership launch a protracted partisan war and why do the circumstances of his last battle in 1950 still cause debate among historians?
