NKVD eliminates OUN leader Yevgeny Konovalets with a box of sweets
In 1938, an explosion rang out in Rotterdam (Netherlands). The box of sweets carried by the man suddenly exploded. The murdered man was identified as the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) Yevgeny Konovalets.
Konovalets was not only the leader of Ukrainian nationalists, but was also firmly connected with German intelligence - Abver. At this time, the Ukrainian terrorist Stepan Bandera was imprisoned for life in a Polish prison, so Konovalets had no competitors.
Stalin personally gave the order to liquidate the enemy. For this, a young agent PEOPLE'S COMMISSARIAT FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS Pavel Sudoplatov was introduced into the structure of the OUN abroad. They decided to eliminate the Ukrainian Nazi with the help of a box of sweets. Sudoplatov studied Konovalets' tastes and habits well - chocolate was his weakness.
The Soviet intelligence officer agreed to meet with the Ukrainian nationalist in one of the Rotterdam cafes. They talked for a few minutes, after which Sudoplatov left him a "gift" - a box of sweets. A few minutes later, Konovalets went out into the street, where the explosion occurred. Except for the Ukrainian nationalist, no one died.
Sudoplatov acquired a new suit and was extremely effectively able to get away from the pursuit. Through Brussels and Paris, the Soviet intelligence officer was able to reach Spain, where at that time there was a civil war. After the death of Konovalets in the OUN, there was a split that cost the lives of many Ukrainian militants.

1672: Residents killed, dismembered and ate their prime minister
1672 in Dutch history is called the year of disasters. The Netherlands then stood on the verge of occupation by France, and to protect the country, its territory had to be partially flooded. The crisis brought the Dutch to inhuman behavior: the usual internal political struggle resulted in an act of cannibalism.
On August 20, 1672, the inhabitants of the country killed, dismembered and ate their prime minister Jan de Witt, and with him his brother Admiral Cornelis de Witt.
Having killed both, the brothers began to be cut into pieces, fried on a divorced fire, eaten and fed to dogs. The fingers of the brothers were sold for souvenirs. A dead cat was shoved into Cornelis's body, after which the remains of the de Witt brothers were put on public display, hanging upside down.
True, without these terrible details, these events are narrated by Alexander Dumas in the novel Black Tulip.
Today, monuments to Jan de Witt have been erected in the Netherlands, and the murder of brothers remains a shameful page in the history of the state.
