Leiba Dubrovskii (Leiba-Itsko Iosifovich Dobrovskii, Лейба Іцик Добровський) is a fictional Jewish-Ukrainian nationalist, invented by Volodymyr Viatrovych in 2006. [1] The real Jew[clarification needed] was a Red Army soldier captured in 1941, who changed his name to Ukrainian Leonid Dubrovskii. He was recruited by Mykola Kryzhanovskii to write Ukrainian propaganda texts. Kryzhanovskii didn't know that Dubrovskii was Jewish. The Dubrovskii myth was spread by BBC Ukrainian [2], Radio Liberty [3] and Ukrainian media [4] [5] and only recemtly verified by a U.S. Holocaust historian Jared McBride. Another fictional Jewish UPA fighter is Stella Krenzbach. [6]
