In Novyi Zahoriv, the memory of UPA soldiers was honored.

On September 11, events were held in the village of Novyi Zahoriv in Lokachyn district to mark the 62nd anniversary of the memory of UPA soldiers – a special-purpose company under the command of Bunchuzhny Andrii Martseniuk (pseudonym "Bereza"), who died on September 8-11, 1943 in an unequal battle with fascist occupiers beneath the walls of the Novozahoriv Monastery.

The monument by sculptors Iryna and Ivan DATSIUK to Ukrainian insurgents was installed in 2003 on the initiative and with the support of the Volyn regional organization of the Ukrainian People's Party and its head, People's Deputy of Ukraine Borys ZAHREVA. This year, with their support, a book by the well-known journalist, publicist, and writer Petro BOIARCHUK, "Battle Beneath the Walls of the Temple," was published. In it, the author reveals little-known pages of the history of the national liberation struggle in Ukraine in the 1940s-1950s, where the central event in the plot of the novella was the unparalleled feat of heroism of the UPA company against the onslaught of Hitlerite punitive forces.

It can confidently be said that the regional organization of the UNP is the only political force in the region that has taken up at such a level the cause of restoring and honoring the memory of soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. As confirmation of this, there is the unveiling of one of the largest monuments to Fighters for an Independent United State in the city of Liuboml, a memorial sign with a high relief of OUN-UPA leader Ananii Zakoshtui in the village of Lavriv in Lutsk district; a monument to Serhii Kachynskyi and Oleksandr Yakymchuk in the village of Piddubtsi in Lutsk district, a regional competition was held for the best student essay "UPA in Volyn" and for the best student drawing "Somewhere far away, in Volyn, the UPA army was born," an audio cassette with insurgent songs "Hey, There in the North of Volyn" was released. And this is not a complete list of measures carried out by the UNP party structure in Volyn.

Historical reference: The battle of Ukrainian insurgents with fascist occupiers took place on September 8-11, 1943. 42 young boys held out against more than a thousand enemies for two and a half days, having at their disposal one grenade launcher and four machine guns. The territory of the Novozahoriv Monastery, where the insurgents positioned themselves, was a strategic location where insurgent routes from neighboring regions intersected. Detachments from Volodymyr-Volynskyi, Horokhiv, and Lutsk districts joined the German units of Lokachyn district; up to 40 vehicles arrived with 20 German soldiers in each vehicle. On September 10 the Germans launched an offensive – the battle lasted all day; toward evening another 10 tankettes (small tanks) arrived from Zdolbuniv, which began direct hits on the monastery wall. The insurgents retreated from the trenches into the monastery, and when the fascists deployed aviation – three aircraft – they were forced to hide in the monastery underground. On September 11 the company commander, Bunchuzhny Andrii Martseniuk ("Bereza"), was killed. On the night of September 11-12, with cries of "Glory to Ukraine!" the insurgents broke through the fascist encirclement through a ravine and trenches. Of the 43 insurgents, 29 died; they destroyed 540 occupiers and wounded 700.
