In the German weekly “Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung” Hans Bruckner contained his thoughts on the recent death of the Georgian politician and general secretary of the ABN, Prince Niko Nakashidze.
The author of the article questions the naturalness of the death of the book. Nakashidze, if only because the doctors confirmed the prince’s good health shortly before his death, in particular, they did not detect any heart disease in him.
Hans Bruckner also refers to the complete silence in the case of the Munich criminal police, who not only did not publish any communication after the autopsy of the prince’s body but even, after sealing the residence of the deceased, forbade his Georgian friends to inspect the rooms and look for a possible will.
The author of the article reminds readers of the confession of KGB agent Bohdan Stashynskyi at the trial in Karlsruhe, who, describing the gun with which he killed Stepan Bandera and L. Rebet, said verbatim the following: “I also heard that there is another device that the KGB uses into his “work”, namely, the so-called poisoned needle, with which, with the help of an air gun, you can kill a person without causing suspicion of murder.”
So, the question arises: wasn’t Prince Nakashidze assassinated with this new weapon designed by the KGB “specialists”? And if so, on what occasion and who was the executor of the assassination?
It is known that Prince Nakashidze met with his compatriots from the USSR, who visited Munich and other German cities as tourists in April. The prince had several meetings with them, even having lunch together in one of the hotels. There is, obviously, a possibility that among those tourists there was an agent who had the task of assassinating the prince.
The KGB had many reasons to kill Prince Nakashidze, writes H. Bruckner. The deceased was one of the prominent politicians in emigration, a large-format journalist, a famous speaker, an active anti-Marxist and anti-communist, and an ardent defender of the rights of the nations enslaved by Moscow.
In recent years, the Soviet press, including the Ukrainian-language press, mainly “Robitnycha Gazeta”, the organ of the Communist Party of Ukraine, sharply attacked Prince Nakashidze, calling him “fascist scum”, “servant of imperialism”, “reptile of German revanchists”, etc. Was it not a KGB “overture” to a planned murder, as in the case of Sl. memorial Stepan Bandera?
In his article, thoroughly sympathetic to the nations under the yoke of Moscow, Hans Bruckner cites an excerpt from the funeral speech of the head of the ABN Central Committee, Yaroslav Stetsk, who also expressed doubts about the natural death of the ABN secretary general. The author expresses his indignation about those German magazines that not only provided false information about Nakashidze but also falsely informed about Georgia, the homeland of the late prince, calling it a “province of Russia” and a “Caucasian province of the USSR”.
The mentioned article by Hans Bruckner once again reminds us of the need to systematically monitor and record the voices of every foreign magazine that for one reason or another writes about Ukraine and other countries enslaved by Moscow, regardless of whether it is written in a positive or negative sense, and respond accordingly to fakes, refute false data, comment, etc. Unfortunately, we have not done this so far, except for small exceptions.
There was a time when there were numerous opportunities to make sure that Moscow and its agents abroad fought only those emigration organizations and persons related to them who conducted foreign policy work.
The unexplained death of Prince Nakashidze is another of the arguments that speak for the finality of revitalizing foreign policy work.
