The remains of a Ukrainian soldier, Stepan Bandera associate Lev Rebet, murdered in Rotterdam in 1938 by Soviet agents, have been exhumed. This follows a decades-long investigation into the assassination, which occurred during a period of political turmoil and Soviet interference in Europe. Dutch and Ukrainian authorities collaborated on the exhumation to gather further evidence and potentially identify all individuals involved in the killing. Rebet’s death was part of a wider campaign by the Soviet NKVD to eliminate Ukrainian nationalists abroad. The exhumation aims to provide closure to the Ukrainian diaspora and shed light on a dark chapter of history. Analysis of the remains may reveal new details about the circumstances surrounding his death and the methods employed by the Soviet secret service. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities seeking to build a more complete picture of this politically motivated murder.
