Do they talk much about Babi Yar?
There were more Ukrainian executioners than Germans.
How about Korosciatyn, Huta Pieniacka, Khatyn, and the other massacres of Polish villagers in Galicia and western Ukraine?
The Ukrainian nazi units that perpetrated terror on Jews, Poles, “partisans” that supported Russia vs nazi Germans, and their own ethnically impure neighbors are still celebrated today.
But yes, when the Germans were defeated, by the Soviets, the Uke ultranationalist/nazis avoided war crimes tribunals by turning their purification drive on the communists, which endeared them to the Western strategists looking to continue war against the Red menace and encouraged continued Uke internal purges and killing of “ collaborators”
History is complicated. And it would be incredibly rude of me to bring those things up to them. I served in the Corps with several native Americans and I didn’t think it proper to bring up any of the atrocities they visited on white settlers. Nor did they bring up any of the atrocities whites inflicted on them.
No society or nation has an unblemished history, including ours. For example we were perfectly happy giving bunch of Japanese and Nazi scientists citizenship in return for their knowledge of bio weapons and rocket technology. Does the name Von Braun mean anything to you?
