I saw that both Moss Robeson and Dr. Ivan Katchanovski shared this article on Twitter, and according to Dr. Katchanovski he was not sought out at all:

I was not consulted even though I am both scholar researching this issue & Ukrainian Canadian & had leading role in exposing SS Galicia veteran debacle in Canadian parliament.

Very disappointing but not surprising considering how he is treated alongside the topic itself. He’s one of maybe a few scholars in Canada willing to talk about the reality of this war, and thus considered a Russian agent. I get nervous citing his work in my papers because he is very disliked by authorities at my school.

They talked to the wrong people with regard to this situation. No consulting with victims or experts, just disgraceful…
