According to a press release issued by the Ukrainian National Information Service, circa 1984, from the Reagan Library Katherine Chumachenko file, these affiliated organizations included the World Anti-Communist league, the US Council for World Freedom, the National Captive Nations Committee, and the (UCCA)Ukrainian Congress Committee of America .

...by the 1980's, the ABN achieved unparalleled access to the Reagan White House. White House staffer and future first lady of Ukraine, Katherine Chumachenko, coordinated ABN matters as part of her duties at the Reagan Office of Public Affairs. Ibid
In 1991 President of the UNR government-in-exile Mykola Plaviuk formally handed over his powers to President of independent Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk . After the creation of the independent Ukrainian state in 1991, the council transferred its mandate to the Ukrainian government in 1992 . T his was done on the basis that the newly independent Ukraine model the government on the OUN Ukrainian Nationalist ideology the council (Ukrainian National Council) had worked on all those years . The model of presidency they had in the emigre population was an elected leader (elected by council) that was president for life (known as a dictator in most parts of the world.)
At its inception the Council (Zch OUN emigre WORLD government representation) in the US and Canada)was comprised of seven members. Three of which in 1957 were directly appointed by OUNb leader Stepan Bandera. A 1957 CIA position paper goes further stating "that on any combined committee OUN/B, Owing to its effective power in the emigration, should have at least equal representation with ZP UHVR (According to the Mandate worked out with the Ukrainian Nationalist groups)..."
The 1957 CIA position paper states that the US accepted the OUNb mandate with these OUNb stipulations attached- The importance of Stefan BANDERA has been underestimated by the Americans: a. As a rallying symbol in the Ukraine. b. As leader of a large emigre group... "To the exclusive sphere of activity of ZCh OUN( Bandera controlled through ABN-UCCA ) should belong: (a) building up the Organization abroad; (b) increasing ideological educational and political training among the Ukrainian emigration; (c) mass political and organizational work among the Ukrainian emigration; (d) increased work on the ideological and programmatic content of the Ukrainian nationalist revolutionary movement; (e) propaganda about the struggle in the homeland; (f) complete and close cooperation with ZP UHVR in its activities and the greatest possible support of these (ZP UHVR) activities."
Within two years the United States would realize the political power of the OUNb at home when Bandera's second in command Yaroslav Stetsko's China Lobby changed the course of American foreign policy forever through a Joe McCarthy Congress that favored ultra-nationalism over the OUNb propagandized threat of a communist takeover in America.
By combining all Eastern European nationalist emigre populations under Bandera's ABN umbrella they found the power to have profound effects on local, regional, and national elections and politics in the USA.
Stepan Bandera, grandson of the Stepan Bandera stated in a 2005 interview "... never knew his grandfather, who was killed by a KGB agent in 1959. But he has an affinity with him.... "Our family has always been very tight, very Ukrainian.' Bandera's father--also a nationalist activist--died under mysterious circumstances back in 1984, just like his grandfather. "I came to Ukraine looking for a fight,' he says. " Bandera, who is kept behind the scenes grew up in Ukrainian nationalist Canada surrounded by monuments and statues of his grandfather. On the American political scene this college dropout is on every steering committee the UCCA spin-off group "CURSUR" has.
CURSUR is defined by its role in bringing together Ukrainian nationalists, America's largest corporations, think tanks, foreign policy experts, and the US government together to decide Ukrainian policy, define Ukrainian interests, and promote the agenda of ultra nationalist Ukrainian emigres in Ukraine. The sponsor list is a who's who of Americas international corporations. Speakers that frequent its meetings are State Department, Pentagon, NATO, Congressmen, and US Presidents. From the Ukrainian side nationalist leaders and scholars like Dimiti Yarosh's close friend Valentyn Nalyvaichenko frequent the meetings. Ask yourself how many innocuous groups Zbigneiw Brzezinski frequent?
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Religion was re-developed by ultra-Nationalist Ukrainian priests to be a religion that supported Ukrainian radical nationalism as a sacrament to God. Nationalist theologians rewrote their theology for the purpose of developing Ukrainian ultra-nationalism through Statism. In the early days of the OUN priests were among the leaders of OUNb mobs that mass tortured and murdered Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews that did not accept Nationalist ideology. Stepan Bandera is venerated as a Saint and church services are conducted that elevate him as part of a trinity. Developing both Bandera's morals, love of nationalism, and mindset in younger generations is a primary priority of the church.
Does the Ukrainian and the Rest of the ABN Eastern European Emigres know they are Nazi's?
No, most of them don't think they of themselves as nazis including the surviving Waffen SS. The OUNb Bandera UCCA teaches them they are patriots. Just ask one, they will always insist they are the flower of democracy.
Wasyl Veryha, chronicler of the Division(Waffen SS Galizien), co-editor of the (Waffen SS Galizien) vet eran's journal Visti Kombantanta, the Ukrainian Historical Society, Taras Shevchenko Scientific Society and the World Congress of Free Ukrainians (Ukrainian World Congress or UWC) was a Waffen SS Galizien officer (Bandera Battalion) that committed atrocities and mass murder. He became one of Canada's most noted Ukrainian historians and he wrote his MA thesis on how loyal and democratic Galician Ukrainians are in a history that negated t he ultra-nationalist politics of Canada's OUNb population.
Are the emigres actually Ukrainian?
It sounds like a strange question until you start looking at the history. The term Ukrainian was used to describe the Slavic descendents of the people around Kiev and eastward in its earliest usage. West of Kiev, the term "Austrian" is the common nomenclature used. If this sounds a little incredible in the Waffen SS Galizien Wasyl Veryha's MA thesis he describes the populations of emigres from "Ukraine" this way- In fact,the diverse nomenclature for the Ukrainian ethnic group caused a great deal of confusion not only at the turn of the century but also at a later period. The people of the province of Galicia and Bukovina, generally called themselves "Rusyny" (Ruthenians), Galicians, Bukovinians and Austrians... the Greek Catholic Church, to which at that time the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian immigrants adhered, preferred the term "Ruthenian"...both within the Austrian and the Russian Empires where the term "Ruthenian" and "Little Russian" respectively had begun to give way to the new, but at the same time old term, "Ukrainian"(person on the borderlands), as a national designation... The paper was really a pioneer in transforming the "Austrians", Ruthenians", "Galicians" and "Bukovinians" into Ukrainians . It popularized the term "Ukrainian" as a replacement for "Ruthenian".
This view of "what is a Ukrainian" agrees entirely with the definition given by the Catholic Encyclopedia . If this nazi is credible the "Ukrainians" the world is standing up for as a people, have their origin in Canada. They are the emigre populations from what is now called Ukraine( the geographic area homogenized by Stalin into one state). The term Ukrainians real use is to describe a political ideology that had power for one year in Eastern Europe. It is the political platform of Ukrainian ultra-nationalism.
