Myroslav Mykytovych BABSKY, a resident of Sokal, a member of the OUN since 1939, an officer of the light artillery of the Ukrainian Division “HALYCHINA” (was educated in Munich in 1940), a participant in the Battle of Brody in July 1944, should have celebrated his CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY today.<\/p>\n
Mr. Myroslav did not live to see his anniversary by only a few months…<\/p>\n
We will remind<\/p>\n
On January 15, 2023, just three months before the centenary, Myroslav Babskyi, a member of the OUN, a corporal of the light artillery, a hero of the Ukrainian division “Halychyna”, died.<\/p>\n
He was born on April 8, 1923 in the city of Sokal in a family of Ukrainian patriots. He studied at the Sokal gymnasium, and then at the gymnasium established by Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytskyi. As a twenty-year-old young man, he followed the call of elders from the OUN to join the ranks of the German army, which was less hostile to his homeland. The training of divisional officers took place in Munich in 1943, where he received the rank of officer. He was a participant in the legendary battle near Brody.<\/p>\n
