1959 Stepan Bandera was killed
60 years ago, on October 15, 1959, Stepan Bandera, the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, was killed in Munich at the entrance to his own apartment. His killer, USSR KGB killer Bogdan Stashinsky, shot him with an ampoule of potassium cyanide from a special pistol. Initially, the police assumed that death was due to a heart attack, but when the examination revealed the presence of potassium cyanide, the main version was murder, although suicide was not ruled out.
