Early life and imprisonment Yurii Shukhevych was born on 28 March 1933, in the town of Ohladów, Lwów Voivodeship, Poland (now Ohliadiv, Lviv Oblast of Ukraine). He was the son of Roman Shukhevych, the leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. He received one of his names in memory of his maternal uncle Yurko (Yurii) Berezynskyi, who had been a member of OUN and died in 1932 during a raid against a Polish post office in Horodok. In 1946, when Western Ukraine was occupied by the Red Army, he was arrested with his mother and grandmother, who were later imprisoned. Shukhevych himself ended up in an orphanage for children of enemies of the people in Donets Basin. He ran away home twice, meeting his father, who remained in the underground in Lviv, but later was taken back again. In 1948, at the age of 15, Shukhevych was accused of being a member of the OUN-UPA, the nationalist underground organization that his father commanded. After he turned 16, in 1949, he was sentenced to 10 years in the Vladimir Central Prison.

Political career In December 1990 Shukhevych was elected as head of far-right paramilitary organization Ukrainian National Assembly which itself was renamed Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defence (UNA-UNSO) in September 1991. Shukhevych failed to register as a candidate in the 1991 Ukrainian presidential election because of a failure to collect 100,000 signatures. In the 1994 Ukrainian parliamentary election Shukhevych failed to win after receiving no more than 7.44% of the votes in single-member districts in Zolochiv. In August 1994 Shukhevych retired from active political life because of health problems and relationships with other leaders of the party had finally deteriorated. Early 2006 Shukhevych returned to politics and entered in the electoral list of the UNA-UNSO for the March 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election at number 1. The party, however, lost the election and gained no more than 0.06% of the total votes. The party did not participate in the 2007 elections. On 19 August 2006, Shukhevych was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine "for civil courage, long-term social, political and human rights activities in the name of independence of Ukraine". In October 2006 UNA-UNSO re-elected Shukhevych as its chairman. And again did so in June 2010. In February 2014…Citește mai mult

Family Following the beginning of German-Soviet War, Yurii lived with his mother, sister and grandmother. He met his father only several times, asking for permission to enter the insurgent force, but Roman Shukhevych denied his appeal, not wishing to sacrifice the lives of the younger generation. Yurii's mother Natalia was arrested in 1946 and sentenced to 10 years of prison camps. After her liberation from imprisonment in 1956, she returned to Lviv, but was unable to find a home due to the lack of official registration, which led to another arrest. In 1958 she was finally able to settle in Lviv. During her second arrest, Natalia met her daughter Marusia, who had been also put into an orphanage and came to visit her in prison. Natalia spent the rest of her life in Lviv, dying in 2002. During his exile, Shukhevych married, and in 1970 his wife Lesia gave birth to son Roman (died in 2002). Lesia also had a son from her previous marriage called Yurii.
