Ukrainian villagers accuse government of past killings
Residents pin blame on Stalin
The Associated Press
BYKOVNIA, USSR — Thousands of skulls and skeletons found entwined with grass and bits of clothing testify to the years of murder concealed in a massive grave in a forest outside this Ukrainian village.
The single bullet hole in each skull offers the most chilling evidence that these victims — up to 300,000 by one unofficial estimate — were killed by Joseph Stalin's secret police, not the Russian government contends.
Stalin's men shot people in the back of the head. The Nazis usually lined up their victims on the side of a ravine and machine-gunned them, said Mikola G. Lysenko, a retired economist who is crusading to end what he considers a conspiracy of lies.
After 50 years of silence, elderly residents of this village near Kiev are speaking up, blaming their government for the bodies buried in the city.
Petro Z. Kukovenko, 74, says he summoned the courage to speak after a Soviet commission reburied the bones and erected a memorial in May blaming the Nazis for the killing.
Western historians estimate that 20 million Soviets were killed during Stalin's rule, particularly during the Great Purge of the late 1930s.
But it was only in 1887 that the Soviet government, as part of the reforms instituted under President Mikhail G. Sorbachev, began to admit that Stalin was responsible for even thousands of deaths.
The monument blaming the Nazi for the victims at Bykonia was built in May, Lysenko said. In December, he succeeded in forcing the government to form a fourth commission to find the murderers.
Kukovenko said, "While the Germans were here, no one touched the gravesite."
The past three commissions all blamed the German occupation army.
That statement is supported by 50 villagers. Lvsenko said.
All four commissions have involved officials with connections to the secret police, Lysenko said.
Kukovenko lived through that time from 1896 to 1941, when canvas-covered trucks night after night hauled their mysterious cargo to the green-fenced compound in the Darnitsia Forest.
He first saw the horror for himself when a German officer forced him and four other men to exhume one of the graves just four days after Nazi troops occupied the area in September 1941.
"I know that this pit it dwug up we dug a fresh grave — maybe the people had been buried there a week earlier. A Army retreated, Kukoveno said.
Since that time, further excavation has found the remains of thousands of Soviets in the pits, stacked like canned sardines.
Government estimates range from 6,000 to 68,000 bodies, but Lysenko said there are five to eight victims in every two square yards of the 80,000-square-yard site. That amounts to 200,000 to 300,000 people.
In 1942, the Germans unearthed 4,250 Polish officers buried 310 miles away in the Katyn Forest. Western historians say the Soviets wiped out the Polish officer corps in a massacre that nearly a half century later still hauws relations between Warsaw and Moscow.
The first government investigation of Bykovnia was conducted by a war crimes commission in 1944, Lysenko said.
"Stalin was alive then, and any talk that these were crimes of Stalin's men was out of the question," he said.
Soviet murder site
Thousands of skeletons have been uncovered in a forest near the village of Bykova which is north of Kiev. The victims were within regime. Some estimates put the total death count up to 300,000.
"They knew what they were digging up." Kukovenko said.
In 1971, a second government commission was named to investigate the deaths, but Kukovenko said he was "afraid to go there and tell them."
By the time Lysenko discovered Bykovina in May 1887, grave robbers who had dug up the forest floor returned.
"We saw a sea of bones," he said.
"From that day on, I became involved. I began to ask witnesses about it."
By autumn, he had 10 witnesses. With support from the Ukrainian Writers Union, he wrote to the city of Kiev and the Communist Party. Within days, a third commission was 'formed.
"The KGB went to the witnesses I mentioned in my letter. People became afraid and said, 'No, I didn't see it.' " Lyskens go.
Lysenko is trying to have Hladush removed, and he is still striving to obtain government documents about secret police activities in the 1930s.

Study calls dietary aids useless
WASHINGTON = "Megavitamins" and supplements of calcium and fiber are apparently useless in maintaining health, and some could be harmful, according to a National Research Council report issued yesterday.
"Called 'Diet and Health': Implications for Reducing Chronic Disease Risk," the 1,300-page report said there is no conclusive evidence of any healthful effect from the supplement. The calcium now self-pre-feed by millions of U.S. citizens.
A balanced diet that is low in fat and salt and contains a variety of foods, however, can help protect against heart disease and some types of cancer, the report said. It emphasized that, to maintain good health, people should cut down on the amount of fat in their diets and either avoid alcohol or drink only in moderate amounts.
The conclusions are drawn from a three-year study and compilation of the nation's research on diet and health.
Arno G. Motulsky, a University of Washington professor who was chairman of the NRC committee, said the study was the consensus finding of the 19 experts on the committee, who reviewed hundreds of research reports
Not only do supplements provide no value to health, "supplements can actually be dangerous," said Dewitt S. Goodman, a committee member from Columbia University.
The findings on dietary supplements come at a time when, Motulsky said, 40 to 60 percent of all U.S. citizens take such things as vitamin pills, calcium powders or tablets, and high fiber capsules or compounds.
He said an excess of some vitamins, such as A, could be poisonous.
The NRC study said a good health recommendation is to "avoid taking dietary supplements in excess of the RDA in any one day."
A daily dose of multiple vitamins with 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance "is not known to be harmful or beneficial," the report said. "However, vitamin-mineral supplements that exceed the RDA and other supplements (such as protein powders, single amino acids, fiber and lecithin) not only have no known health benefits . . . but their use may be detrimental to health."
Congressmen plan challenge to increased tobacco exports
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A highly successful U.S. government campaign to give U.S. tobacco companies a share of the lucrative Asian market is prompting congressional complaints that federal agencies are "exporting
A bipartisan group of congressmen plans to introduce legislation today that would forbid the government to sell cigarettes for the cigarette industry, overseas.
"The message we are sending is that Asian lungs are more expendable than American lungs," said Ren Mel Levine, D-Calif.
Rep. Chtet Akins, D-Mass., said, "If we are as sensitive as we are about the health of American consumers, this certainly looks like an
outrageous double standard."
Levine and Atkins will be joined by Rep. Bob Whitaker, R-Kan., Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calf., chair of the House energy and com-mittee committees on health and the environment, in introducing the legislation
Tobacco exports mushroomed during the Reagan administration as a result of a highly effective campaign against foreign trade barriers by the U.S. special trade representative's office and other agencies.
U. S. tobacco sales to Asia increased by 76 percent in 1987. Tobacco-related earnings worldwide totaled about $2.5 billion.
Atkins sees the overseas sale of U.S. cigarettes as a health issue. He calls it "exporting death." But his
detractors in the tobacco industry and elsewhere regard it as a trade issue that takes on crucial importance because of the country's huge, albeit declining, trade deficit. The deficit for 1988 was $137.3 billion.
Under the draft legislation, the president would be prevented from seeking the "removal or reduction by any foreign country of any restrictions" on the advertising, manufacture, packaging, importation, sale or distribution of tobacco products.
The legislation also would require all exported tobacco to carry either a surgeon general's warning about the hazards of smoking or a comparable warning established by the importing country.
Mark Eaton, an aide to Sen. Jesse Helms, R.N.C., a stalwart backer of the tobacco industry, said, "We certainly think that as long as tobacco is a legal product we will fight to see that it can take advantage of the same agricultural export programs that other commodities receive."
