Correction

Zenon Zawada's story headlined "UPA veterans, leftists clash on the Khreschatyk" (October 23), contained a reference to a memorial in Bazar, Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine, where a nationalist gathering was scheduled to take place in November. The story erroneously stated that the memorial was erected in honor of the second world war-era Galicia Division. In fact, the memorial in Bazar was built with the assistance of Galicia Division veterans who wound up in Great Britain as prisoners of war. It is dedicated to the 359 soldiers of the Ukrainian National Republic Army who were executed on November 21, 1921, by a firing squad of the Soviet forces during the UNR army's second winter campaign.
