Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council

Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council ("UHVR") was a Ukrainian political organisation formed in July 1944."UHVR" united Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists ("OUN") and Ukrainian Insurgent Army ("UPA"). After the end of the Second World War, the council co-ordinated resistance efforts in Soviet-occupied Ukraine. It also organised the boycott of the Soviet-sponsored elections in 1946. Members of "UHVR" in exile formed External Representation group of the council ("ZP UHVR"), which popularised the efforts of the Ukrainian dissident movement in the West.
