Oleksander Ohloblyn
In-Game Biography
President of Ukraine
During his time as the German-appointed mayor of Kyiv, Oleksander Ohloblyn imagined himself as inoffensive. Ohloblyn's slightest victories were proof of his even hand; his evils were forced upon him by Nazi bureaucrats. Even as his administration filled with Fascistic OUN allies, even as he sent the Jewish community to their deaths, he held to a core belief that all of this was an act of caring.
Slowly isolated by the NSDAP, Ohloblyn found an opportunity to return to prominence when he began to work with a desperate UNRA. His successes exceeded his wildest dreams: the revolution he attached himself to defeated all opposition, his allies infiltrated its leadership, and assassinations, bribery, and intimidation ensured that his crypto-Bolshevik opponents would not be elected. Now, he can continue to protect his nation through the only means he has - submission. Safe in the belief that his old ways proved true, Ohloblyn is certain that through courtesy and obedience, he can protect his people from the worst of Germany's impulses.
The bodies buried beneath Babi Yar prove otherwise.
Provisional Governor of the Brest Oblast (Head of Government)
The mayor of occupied Brest, upon seeing the blue and yellow proudly hoisted above him, revealed himself to be an agent for a free Ukraine. Years of covert support bought him a position of power in the insurgency, despite the misgivings of some. They danced around the subject of his tenureship as mayor of Kyiv, when he allowed the slaughter of its Jewish population. They privately wondered about his commitment to the cause.
Sadly for them, Oleksander Ohloblyn's presence in the UNRA is too useful to deny. He brings with him experienced collaborators familiar with the RK's existing political and economic structures. They proclaim themselves patriots eager to fix the Nazi's horrors and their mistakes. Yet it remains to be seen whether Ohloblyn is committed to a Ukraine that can stand on its own and defeat Germany, or one that can merely co-exist with them.
