Korczunek
In the village of Karczunek, county Tarnopol: „The fate of two young women was especially tragic – Michalina Kupyna, d/o Błaszkiewicz, wife of a Ukrainian, Piotr Kupyna, and 16‑year‑old Czesława Nakonieczna. They both came from Dobrowody, 7 km from Ihrowica, and were Polish […] Weeping over her mother's body, Michalina said many bitter words to the killers. It was reported to local nationalists who decided to punish her with death […] The Banderites were waiting for Michalina in Karczunek. They took both women to Tracz's house, where they were undressed and brutally raped many times. Michalina's pleas that she left two young children, a 6‑year‑old daughter and a 2‑year‑old son, and her Ukrainian husband, was at war, did not help. Michalina was murdered. Czesława was kept in terrible conditions for a few more days, but finally released. Exhausted by rape and hunger, she slowly returned to Dobrowody, 5 km away. At that time, a certain Zahaluczka, probably Ołeksa's wife, appeared at the gang's headquarters. The woman convinced the Banderites that leaving the Czechs alive was dangerous for them, because the girl could reveal the whereabouts of the gang. When Czesia reached Dobrowód with difficulty, she was caught on horseback by Horochowski, a flagship from the same village. He tied the rope around the girl and brought her back to Tracer's house. The girl was killed there […] Tadeusz Kupyna, Michalina's son, as an adult, was invited to his aunt Karola Biłous from Ihrowica for her son's wedding. He sat sad and thoughtful for a long time, until he finally cried out. When asked for the reason, he replied that he was crying for his mother's lost love, because no aunt and no babysitter replaced his mother. – Who will arrange a wedding for me as aunt for her son? He asked through tears. – I cannot understand – he continued – how did my mother and cousin Czesław Nakonieczna prevent the Bandera followers from building a free Ukraine? At the end of his story, Władysław Nakonieczny stated that such questions would be asked until the whole truth about the UPA's bestialities was told. – The bandit–nationalist ideology lulled their minds and liberated demons – added Władysław Nakonieczny”.
