I love the casual slander of Bandera

“Stepan Bandera was responsible for the proclamation of an Independent Ukrainian State in Lviv on June 30, 1941, eight days after the start of Germany’s aggression.
The OUN intended to take advantage of the retreat of Soviet forces from Ukraine. Some members thought that they had found a new powerful ally in Nazi Germany to aid them in their struggle against the Soviet Union. However, just days after the proclamation and the Nazi invasion of Lviv, the leadership of the newly formed government was arrested and sent to concentration camps in Germany, and on July 6, 1941[1] for his refusal to rescind the declaration, Bandera was arrested and imprisoned by the Nazis and not released until September 1944. Also, within two years of the declaration, the Nazis had imprisoned or killed 80% of OUN-B leadership.[2][3][4] Soviet authorities authorised the KGB to assassinate as it happened in Munich, West Germany, on 15 October 1959.”

Bandera tried to use the Germans in 44 as the only option he had against the Soviets. After the end of the war he lead a Guerilla war against the Soviets. THATS why Lefties like the Guardian slime him.

Yes, I noticed that too.
It is the Guardian after all.

Interesting, old commies never die, they just go on repeating the same old lies.

FYI Bandera’s grandson is still fighting for Ukraine.

It’s a neverending battle.
