The Russian Ambassador to Canada announced partial measures against funds named after the Nazis

Quick Look

Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told RIA Novosti that Canadian authorities have begun targeted measures against foundations bearing the names of former Nazis and collaborators, but many such structures are still functioning.
In August, an Alberta court allowed the closure of the Yaroslav and Margaret Gunko Foundation with a capital of $21,000.
The ambassador noted that this is a belated but correct step, but it does not fundamentally change the situation, since at the same university there are eight more similar structures in honor of former SS men of Galicia or those associated with the OUN-UPA.

Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told RIA Novosti that the Canadian authorities have begun targeted measures against foundations bearing the names of former Nazis and collaborators, but many such structures are still operating in the country.

In August, an Alberta court gave the local university permission to close the Yaroslav and Margaret Gunko Foundation with a capital of $21,000.

“This is a late but right step. However, it does not fundamentally change the situation. Eight more similar structures operate on the basis of the same university. All of them are in honor of former SS men of “Galicia” or those who were associated with the OUN-UPA,” the agency quotes Stepanov as saying.

According to the ambassador, after the Gunko story, public organizations continue to insist on declassifying archives about Nazi criminals and their accomplices in Canada. In particular, the federal court ordered the authorities to publish classified fragments of the report of historian Alti Rodal, dedicated to the secret program of resettlement of Nazis and collaborators in Canada.
