HISTORY: Stepan Andriyovych Bandera (1 January 1909 - 15 October 1959) was a Ukrainian radical politician and theorist of the militant wing of the far-right Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and a leader and ideologist of Ukrainian ultranationalists known for his involvement in terrorist activities. Born in partitioned Poland (in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, then part of Austria-Hungary) into the family of a Greek-Catholic priest, young Bandera became a Ukrainian nationalist. After the Empire disintegrated in the wake of World War I, Galicia briefly became a West Ukrainian People's Republic, but following the Polish-Ukrainian War of 1918-19 it was integrated into eastern Poland. In this period Bandera became radicalized; after Polish authorities refused to let him leave for Czechoslovakia to study, he enrolled at the Lwow Polytechnic, where he organized Ukrainian-nationalist organizations. For orchestrating the 1934 assassination of Poland 's Minister of the Interior, Bronislaw Pieracki, Bandera was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. In 1939, following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, Bandera was released from prison, and he moved to Krakow in the German-occupied zone of Poland (the General government).
