Amilcar Cabral vs Stepan Bandera

Cabral co-founded the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) in Bissau. This clandestine movement aimed to end Portuguese colonial rule through political mobilization and armed struggle, uniting nationalist forces across both territories.

Cabral directed the PAIGC to initiate armed conflict against Portuguese colonial forces in Guinea-Bissau. The guerrilla war, fought from bases in neighboring countries, gradually liberated large areas and established a parallel administration, weakening Portuguese control.

Cabral was assassinated in Conakry, Guinea, by PAIGC dissidents with alleged Portuguese complicity. His death occurred months before Guinea-Bissau's unilateral declaration of independence, but his leadership had already secured the movement's success.

Following the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Bandera and the OUN-B proclaimed an independent Ukrainian state in Lviv. This act was not recognized by Nazi Germany, which arrested Bandera and suppressed the declaration.

Bandera was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was held in a special section for political prisoners, where he remained until 1944, while his followers continued the nationalist struggle.

After the war, Bandera settled in West Germany and continued to lead the OUN-B faction from exile. He organized anti-Soviet activities and maintained a network of supporters, becoming a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism.

Bandera was assassinated in Munich by KGB agent Bohdan Stashynsky using a cyanide spray gun. His death was a major blow to the Ukrainian nationalist movement in exile and highlighted Soviet efforts to eliminate opposition.
