About this person
Oberyshyn was not able to get a job, get married, or visit a hospital as a result. He also faced imminent arrest for not having a Soviet passport, which he burned in 1944. It was only after hearing the results of the Ukrainian independence referendum in December 1991 when he came out of hiding and turned himself in to the Ukrainian authorities. He then lived an active political and social life until he died in 2007.
