Roman Sushko

Roman Kyrylovych Sushko (Ukrainian: ''Роман Кирилович Сушко''; 9 March 1894 – 12 January 1944) was a Ukrainian officer and politician who served on the ''Provid'' (the émigré leadership) of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and later the Melnykite faction. He also cofounded its predecessor, the Ukrainian Military Organisation (UVO), and was a veteran of the First World War and the Ukrainian War of Independence, serving as a senior officer in the Sich Riflemen.

Sushko collaborated with the Nazis from 1938 whereby he commanded two battalions, codenamed ''Bergbauernhilfe'', as part of the planned OUN Uprising of 1939 and played an instrumental role in establishing the Ukrainian Central Committee in occupied-Poland. In January 1944, he was assassinated in Lviv by unknown perpetrators. Provided by Wikipedia
