[1347] Two other realistic estimations suggest a similar and a higher number. First, if we assume that 10 percent (82,000) of the Volhynian and eastern Galician Jews (820,000) tried to survive in the woods or in the countryside, and that 13,500 to 18,500 of them managed to survive, as Spector and Pohl determined, it would mean that between 63,500 and 68,500 were murdered or died of other causes. Second, if we assume that in eastern Galicia 14 percent (80,000) of all the Jews who had lived there in June 1941 did not survive their time of hiding, as Spector estimated for Volhynia, then in eastern Galicia and Volhynia together, 115,000 would not have survived this period of the Holocaust. Because of the different Nazi extermination policies in Volhynia and eastern Galicia the first number appears to be more credible.

Cf. 87 105, 107, 135, 146. Other terms—”UPA bands” (bandy UPA), “Ukrainian bandits” (bandyci ukraińscy)—were also in use. Cf. 145, 150.

Torture remained a common interrogation method at least until the end of Stalinism. Cf. Statiev, Soviet Counterinsurgency, 247–48.

[1519] According to a KGB report from 1973, the OUN-UPA killed 30,676 people between 1944 and 1953.

Cf. Motyka, Ukraińska partyzantka, 650. Between February 1944 and December 1946 the OUN-UPA killed 11,725 people. Among them were 6,250 civilians or, if we include the members of the destruction battalions, 6,980. Cf. Burds, AGENTURA, 109.
[1520] 153,000 were killed, 134,000 arrested, 203,000 deported. Cf. Motyka, Ukraińska partyzantka, 657. Boeckh mentions 500,000. Cf. Boeckh, Stalinismus, 366.
