Fedir Naritnyk, a veteran of the national liberation struggle, a participant in the OUN-UPA underground, and a former political prisoner, died on 9 November in the city of Burshtyn, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. He was 97 years old. This was announced by the Burshtyn City Council.
Fedir Naritnyk was born in 1929 in the village of Demianiv to a peasant family. He spent the last years of his life in Burshtyn.
As early as 1942, the future veteran joined a youth cell of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists. There, he studied history and the principles of the Ukrainian nationalist movement. At the age of 14, the boy was recruited to work as a courier for the Ukrainian underground.
His task was to transmit secret messages between settlements, specifically delivering notes with instructions for underground operatives. In the event of a threat, such messages had to be destroyed.
In 1954, Soviet state security agencies arrested Naritnyk. Following a lengthy investigation, the court sentenced him to death. He spent six months in a death row cell before his sentence was commuted to 25 years in strict-regime camps.
After his release from the camps, the former prisoner faced difficulties registering his residence in Burshtyn. He later moved to Kalush, where he worked on loading jobs and trained to be a driver. Fedir Naritnyk subsequently found employment at a sugar factory in Bovshiv.
The City Council noted that, despite the persecutions he endured and his health problems, Fedir Naritnyk maintained an optimistic outlook and supported Ukrainian military personnel.
In 2026, the veteran was awarded the honorary badge of the Commander of the Special Operations Forces, "Wolf Pack". This award recognised his contribution to sustaining the resistance movement of OUN-UPA veterans.
The Burshtyn City Council expressed its sincere condolences to the deceased's relatives and close ones.
