The flood of refugees at the conclusion of World War II grew to near Biblical proportions. Europe was a
shattered continent from east to west. Ukraine bore the brunt of the destruction: its people displaced,
divided, and forced to flee their native land in the face of new Soviet aggression.
Thousands of Ukrainians, ‘Ostarbeiters’ (Eastern workers), once-interned soldiers awaiting to learn their
fate, forced out by the war, find themselves in occupied Germany’s western Allied sector. Into their midst
arrive soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army who battled their way to the Western sector, joining the sea
of Ukrainians in the displaced persons camps of Western Europe.
In is in the midst of this historical upheaval that the drama of ASSASSINATION unfolds.
Having survived the hardships of both the war and the liberation struggle, the main characters find
themselves in the free world, but still under threat: the displaced persons camps of World War II have
become yet another arena for the political battle waged by the Soviet NKVD in an effort to take possession of
people’s destinies and very souls. They are forced to once again rise in opposition to Moscow’s reign of
terror. In the dramatic events that follow, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army commander is killed, his death
saving the lives of his fellow freedom fighters.
The film moving depicts the plight of these refugees who overcame hardship in a foreign land to rebuild their
lives anew.
ASSASSINATION’s compelling plot dramatizes the real-life struggle with the Russian agents responsible
for the murder of Stepan Bandera, leader of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) in Munich
in 1959.

4. Award-winning film director Oles Yanchuk's
powerful account of personal courage and
determination in the face of insurmountable
odds. The true story of Roman Shukhevych, the
leader of the underground army that fought
against both of the Twentieth Century's most
devastating war machines, the Nazis and the
Soviets
In 1950, long after most of the weary world laid down its arms in the aftermath of the Second World War, a
battle for freedom continued to be waged, shrouded behind the newly drawn Iron Curtain.
The Undefeated is the true story of General Roman Shukhevych (Gregory Hlady) a genteel family man
forced by brutal circumstances and his own sense of honor and duty to lead the fight to deliver his people
from the savageries of both the Nazis and Soviets.
Producer and director Oles Yanchuk, hailed by both the NY Times and Time Magazine for his heart-wrenching
film, Famine 33, delivers an internationally renowned team of filmmakers and artists to bring to
the screen the epic story of Roman Shukhevych.
Set against the backdrop of an underground war, Yanchuk explores the complex character of Shukhevych,
his revulsion at ethnic discrimination, his love of music, his genius in combat. The film smolders with the
passion of the man and ignites the viewer with the same fire that Shukhevych fueled in his countrymen - the
unquenchable flame of freedom.
Filmed on location in the exotic and mysterious Carpathian Mountains, the tarnished but still opulent cities
of Odesa and Kyiv, and the architecturally stunning city of Lviv, The Undefeated is a movie filled with
explosive action and suspense. It is a personal story of faith and commitment and ultimately, the victory of
freedom over tyranny.
