By 1995, the year that his alleged co-conspirators were sentenced, Nuriyev became an advisor to OUN-B leader Slava Stetsko in Ukraine, and joined her Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), several years after journalists Scott and Jon Lee Anderson described it as “the largest and most important umbrella for former Nazi collaborators in the world.”

That description became accurate with the help of Gerhard von Mende, [an Axis] official who led the Caucasus division of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories. For example, his “right-hand man” from Uzbekistan, who represented the pro-[Axis] “Turkestan National Fighting Units” to the German [Reich’s] General Staff during World War II, cofounded the ABN in 1946 and served on its Central Committee through the 1990s. Before the organization disbanded in 1996, Nuriyev apparently became the head of its Caucasus section, because he kept the title as chairman of the “ABN-Caucasus.”
