launched an investigation into the murder of Nil Khasevych by Borys Steklyar. Steklyar made clear he did not feel guilty. On August 25, 2016, in Rivne District Administrative Court held a hearing in case Boris Steklyar against the Office of the SBU in Rivne region, which, contrary to the Law of Ukraine "On access to archives of repressive totalitarian communist regime in 1917-1991 years," asked the court to compel the Office SBU Rivne region not to provide his personal file No.2095 for review. The claim was left without consideration. Later analysis of the personal file and archive documents revealed that KGB colonel Boris Steklyar who participated in the liquidation of the underground artist of UPA Nil Khasevych in 1960 performing operational duties against Ukrainian nationalists in Soviet concentration camps. There is about the order of the Chairman of the KGB lieutenant general Vitaliy Nikitchenko No.85 dated 17 July 1964 to encourage the Office of the KGB in Rivnenskoiy area.

As historian of Liberation Movement Research Center, the former deputy director of the SBU archive Vladimir Birchak stated, "measures", in which Steklyar participated in the camps likely have been something more serious than "showing the achievements of the USSR". He died on 18 January 2018.Светлая память
