An extensive, structured Q&A by Vitaliy Dribnytsya with a Russian lawyer. Among the topics: the consequences of the Treaty of Versailles for Germany (loss of colonies, part of its territory and population), the Versailles system of treaties (Trianon, Saint-Germain, Sèvres) and its central flaw for the stateless peoples of Eastern Europe — Ukrainians, Slovaks, Croats. Hence a motive shared by Bandera and Hitler — to destroy a system unjust to those peoples. The material supplements the article on the Treaty of Versailles with context on stateless peoples.

Key moments

  1. 03:27 Versailles restrictions: Germany lost all its colonies, ~1/7 of its territory, up to 1/12 of its population
  2. 03:49 Many peoples of Eastern Europe gained no statehood under Versailles or ended up inside foreign states
  3. 04:36 The Versailles system — several treaties (Trianon, Saint-Germain, Sèvres)
  4. 04:53 From Bandera's standpoint (as from Hitler's) this system had to be destroyed, because Ukrainians received no state
