  • Complete Monster: Stiepan Szuma is a sociopathic collaborator par excellence with a knack for latching himself onto invading armies before betraying them and moving on to the next. A racist and oppressive opportunist who shamelessly abuses any authority given to him, Szuma threatens to arrest those who refuse to pay the Soviets with deliveries of food even when they have nothing to eat themselves and helps the NKVD with deporting "Polish bloodsuckers" to forced labor camps, children included. Defecting to the Germans and allowing them to liquidate his Jewish neighbors, Szuma later joins the UPA and facilitates the Volhynian Slaughter, gleefully participating in the massacre himself.
