              Traitor and murderer lives in Canada
Thirty-si-x years have passed since the rout of fascism yet
new testimonies of the bloody crimes of Ukrainian na-tionali- sts
perpetrated jointly with the nazi invaders come to
light Many of those traitors have fled abroad The article
below telIs of one such criminal
'Bakutin Vasyl polizei SD
inspector of the Selidove dist-ri- ct
police participated in mass
tortures and killings of Soviet
civilians and prisoners of war
These Iines are taken from an
official document
This quote brings back to
memory an occasion which
several years ago helped expose
one more traitor who had gone
in hiding on the other side of the
ocean
War veterans were talking
One of them D Yatsenko
mentioned a former resident of
Selidove Vasyl Bakutin whom
the nazis allegedly forcedly
took to Germany and vho was
currently residing in Canada
Some time later vvhile
perusing the vvartime news-pape- rs
I spotted an articlepub-lishe- d
right after the liberation
of the Donets basin in a Red
Army newspaper of September
15 1943 It carried an offical
report of the horrible crimes
perpetrated by the nazis and
their accomplices who in Se-lidove
District alone had
murdered 6918 people The
district crime investigation
Commission drevv a conclusion
that 'shootings were executed
by the German military police
together with the traitors to the
Homeland who had voluntarily
stayed behing to serve the Ger-man
bandits Among these were
polizeis Yukhym Dovhobrod
Vasyl Bakutin'
A thought crossed my
mind: Wasn't it that same

Bakutin of whom D Yatsenko
spoke? My trips around cities
and villages of Donetsk Region
and conversations with the eye-witness- es
to those events left no
doubt: polizei Vasyl Bakutin
and the person living under the
same name in Toronto Onta-rio
Canada is one and the
same man
In his personal reference
list the traitor vvrote in his own
hand: 'Polizei of the Selidove
district police' Bakutin joined
the force on December 8 1 94 1
receiving a monthly alIowance
of 30 marks (the sum prompts
some association vvith Judas'
money) Together vvith similar
traitors of the Ukrainian people
he took the follovving oath: 'As
the one belonging to the Ukrai-nian
defense police I pledge to
be loyal brave and obedient
honestly fulfilling my dutics
vvhile fighting Bolshevism'
The captured nazi archives
contained lists of the 'personnel
of the department of the
Selidove district police' of May
1 942 vvhere under number 16
Bakutin vvas already listed as an
inspector of the crime in-vestigation
squad A round
stamp vvith the fascist svvastika
on the ID card of this nazi
bootlicker attested to his
promotion on November 15
1942 to a highcr post of SD
senior inspector
A rank-and-fi- le polizei an
inspector and a senior SD
inspector — such vvas the
service record of Bakutin vvho
had sold himself for the 30 Ju-das'
coins
The nazis didn't take Ba-kutin
to Germany by force He
vvas fleeing on his ovvn to escape
the just punishment vvhich he
knevv vvas inevitable
Hardly had Bakutin joined
the police force together vvith
other nazi accomplices vvhen
he vvas already escorting the
first Jcvvish families to the sitc
of the execution
