History[edit]
Bazar is probably best known for the execution on November 22, 1921 of 359 soldiers of the Ukrainian National Republic army during the final stages of the Second Winter Campaign.[1] In 1941, an attempt was organised by Oleh Kandyba Olzhych to create a memorial to the fallen, however this was prevented by mass arrests by the occupying Nazi forces.[1][2]
