    Fuck off, Ukrainians fought the Nazis harder than anybody except the Russians. More Ukrainians were partisans than joined either the OUN or UPA. 7 million Ukrainians fought to liberate Europe from fascism, you’re literally commentating on an article about a monument built to honor their sacrifice.

      Being generous, I think he means a segment of them were very distinctly Nazis and saying that group “differs so much from Nazis” is silly. I do agree that it is doing the Banderite’s work for them to pretend that the Banderites were ever the most popular faction when that is a modern invention in both readings of the phrase.

      The fact that the national identity of Ukraine has shifted so heavily into being anti-soviet and pro-OUN is a shame. Ukraine is actively erasing their own history to placate the west in hopes of access to the global capitalist pie for their upper class.
