Lubomyr Luciuk, a Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, has consistently caught The Canada Files’ eye when speaking about the actions of Ukrainian Nazis during WWII and Nazi importation into Canada more generally. But Luciuk’s latest escalation, having the gall to make his Nazi apologist claims to a Canadian parliament committee, which are written into the record, is another level entirely. He reached this new level, by among other things, demanding that Canada’s parliament apologize for calling Jaroslav Hunka a Nazi.
Yet there’s so much more to Luciuk’s testimony, and the parliamentary committee meeting which he among others, was invited to speak to.
It’s remarkable that Luciuk was invited to testify to a Parliament committee, but what exactly did he say?
Luciuk started off by talking of a 1985 KGB document that showed a program intended to create awareness of the presence of Nazi war criminals in Canada, as a “disinformation campaign started in the 1970s… intended to stoke tensions between the Jewish, Baltic and Ukrainian diasporas”. Luciuk said that supposed KGB ‘subterfuge’ is now being deployed to distract attention from Russia’s SMO in Ukraine, which he refers to as “Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine and Ukrainians”.
Luciuk regurgitated the farcical argument that just because a person couldn’t be a member of the Nazi party, that they weren’t a Nazi. Luciuk admitted that Hunka served with the Waffen SS 14th Division, but sought to justify his voluntary service, by citing a post from Hunka where he claimed that the USSR killed innocent Ukrainians and deported family members to Siberia. To further his defense, Luciuk spoke of the Deschenes Commission’s view on service in the Waffen SS 14th Division (more...)
