Protester in Poland holding a 'Volhynia 1943, We Remember' banner on Polish victims of OUN-UPA amid Polish flags

The photo shows a participant of a public event in Poland holding a large black banner with a red map of Volhynia and the slogan 'WOŁYŃ 1943 PAMIĘTAMY', citing 135,000–200,000 'Polish victims of the OUN-UPA band'. In the background, people carry Polish flags and other historical placards. Such rallies, stressing the tragic pages of Polish-Ukrainian history, take place against the backdrop of pre-election rhetoric by right-wing forces, which the publication links to a growing xenophobic climate toward Ukrainians in the country.
