At the end of November 1932, OUN militants once again robbed (expropriated) one of the Polish state post offices. This time, the object was located in the town of Horodok near Lviv (Polish name - Grudek Jagiellonian).
However, the attack was special, and not only because the future leaders of the OUN and organisers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Roman Shukhevych and Mykola Lebid, were involved in its organisation. Despite the fact that the action failed - two militants were killed, two were arrested and later executed - the OUN managed to turn a military defeat into a giant propaganda victory.
The police arrested Vasyl Bilas and Dmytro Danylyshyn, who had the greatest combat experience and were responsible for confiscating money from the cash register, became national heroes. Ironically, they were caught by Ukrainian villagers thanks to a false rumour spread by the police that they were criminals who had robbed a Ukrainian cooperative (see glossary at the end of the article).
From the very beginning, the action did not go according to plan. Some of the militants were supposed to set fire to a warehouse of dry calamus canes to distract the guards of the prison located near the post office. But the wet cane did not catch fire. As a result of a shootout with the guards, two militants were fatally wounded (one of them, the brother of Roman Shukhevych's wife, a student at Lviv Polytechnic, Yuriy Berezynsky, shot himself to avoid falling into the hands of the police).
As it became known after the investigation, the group split in two and, retreating, moved in two directions. Those who headed for Lviv were able to get there without any obstacles. And the group of Vasyl Bilas and Dmytro Danylyshyn went to the village of Hlynna Navariya, a suburban village near Lviv, to get on a train at the railway station, get to Stryi, and from there get to Drohobych and Truskavets...
