    They all just differ so much from the Nazis

    Ah yes, the Ukrainians, famous for being completely distinct from Nazis, especially when it comes to collaborating to commit the genocide of hundreds of thousands during WWII.

      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.

        You’re right. I don’t know what OP is on but it seems like all that sacrifice has gone down the toilet and erased from history, at least inside the country. Now only Bandera is the only hero there. Him and the Ghost of Kyiv
