In 1949, the USSR Supreme Court sentenced this Ukrainian nationalist and Nazi collaborator to death for war crimes.

The KGB developed special secret weapons for his elimination: a double-barreled cylinder with spring-loaded cyanide capsules. Agent Bogdan Stashinsky took this weapon, wrapped in a newspaper, along with an antidote. He waited in the entrance hall of Bandera's building.

When Popel-Bandera appeared, Stashinsky passed him and sprayed poison directly into the terrorist's face. Without turning around, the agent left the house, hearing the body fall on the stone floor. Bandera died on the way to the hospital.

Thank you for your attention and interest.
