Zelensky is making headlines because of "unprecedented concessions" to Poland by opening the archives on the Volhynia massacres... archives that have been open for years.😅
Bravo. That's how a seasoned showman works: when reality gives you nothing, you repackage yesterday's news as today's historic breakthrough.
But that's not the real story.
While everyone applauds this carefully staged "revolution," the government is quietly increasing funding for the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory—the very institution that continues promoting the national heroization of the OUN and UPA.
The magic trick isn't opening old archives. It's getting everyone to watch one hand while the other signs the funding order.

Wait, the archives Zelensky just announced opening are the classified SBU & intel ones on Volyn – not the ones "open for years". That's a real step for joint exhumations with Poland. Acting like the whole thing is pure theater while ignoring russia's hybrid games on history? Come on. Both sides need to handle this without feeding kremlin narratives.

Yes, standard SBU archives have been accessible since 2015, but you conveniently omitted that Zelensky also unlocks the classified Foreign Intelligence Service (SZRU) files. Those were completely blocked.
