Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.

Wasylów Wielki
June 1946, [typescript] — Fragments of the report of the interrogation carried out by 'Czumak', an employee of the Security Service of the V District II of the Zakerzonya Region, of a witness to the murder by Polish Army soldiers on Ukrainians in Chłopiatyn:
„On [c.] June 5, 1946 […] they also murdered Adam Sokoł, age 16 […] near Wasylów Wielki. He was running away with his friends from the village, followed by the Polish Army, who was conducting 'voluntarily' deportations, shooting over and over again at young boys, almost children. They fled 3‑4 km under fire […] When the boy was killed, the army began to abuse the corpse. They smashed the dead man's head with rifle butts and destroyed the body”.
