    This guy seems to be just a teeny-tiny bit biased. Based on what he says, the Banderites were just a group of happy-go-lucky people convinced that their country could be independent. The mass murders of Jews and Poles were just an unfortunate thing that "happened" that had little to do with Bandera or his nationalists.

    Yup. He sounds like a lovely guy. Based on this totally unbiased historian's view, it's hard to see why any Jew or Pole living in Lviv in 1941 or in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia might have anything to fear from Bandera's supporters. While they might have been just a smidgen antisemitic (wait, antisemitic is the wrong word - they were just a bit... standoffish with Jews), it wasn't like they would murder thousands of Jews or anything.

    Yes, nobody in Croatia today would deny that, and is aware of how evil and horrible Pavelic was, and a huge enemy of Croatia at his core. Him and his puppet regime were traitors of his nation and committed huge crimes at the command of a foreign force, and planned to tear the country apart after WW2, in fact already singed some documents to give half of Croatia to Italy after the war. Nobody in Europe, in any country where fascists took command in WW2, celebrates them today. Except Ukraine. And that's worrying.

    Leaving aside the comparison to Stalin who, unlike Bandera, was the head of a state; it's long been understood that states can do things that are considered crimes when done by individuals. Plus, those who like Stalin aren't considered allies of the West in the way Bandera's fans are. Also, it isn't just Bandera. It's the general rehabilitation, by the Ukrainian *government*, of people who committed some of the worst atrocities of WWII, like Roman Shukhevych, who massacred thousands of Poles. He has a soccer stadium named for him in Ternopil. Ukrainian nationalists or Russian propaganda didn't do that, the city government did.

    So he admits that Bandera was "just" a nationalist that used terrorism (assassinations) to achieve his political goals, collaborated with the Nazis during WW2,, etc. - but is largely a myth as he was never really in Ukraine much? Is this a serious person? Bin Laden wasn't anywhere near the Al-Qaeda attacks...Hitler was no where near the front lines in the east or west (maybe for a a few days at a time), Marx had wasn't even around to see anyone attempt to implement his trash etc. This guy is gaslighting on behalf of white supremecist nazis in that one's physical presence matters when evaluating the impact of their ideas.

    Is it possible to consider Bandera outside the activities of those who called themselves his followers? What is not mentioned here is that for the entire duration of the Second World War, detachments of Ukrainian nationalists were used as occupation police. Not only on the territory of Ukraine, but also in the occupied territories of Russia and Poland. And they especially distinguished themselves by the massacre of Polish peasants. For the reason that it was in the Poles and not in the Russians that Bandera saw the most vicious oppressors of Ukraine. He killed Polish officials, not Russian ones. The Bandera detachments were also responsible for identifying Jews, communists, partisans and any persons not loyal to Nazi Germany. These detachments wore fascist uniforms and obeyed the fascist command. It's strange for those who do not share the ideology of fascism, isn't it? When did the Bandera detachments act against the Nazis? Only when the Nazis fled leaving Ukraine. And according to the evidence, what the Ukrainians demanded from the fascists was to hand over their weapons. What were they doing when Ukraine came under the control of the Soviet army. They avoided clashes with the troops while killing the Ukrainian population who came into contact with the Soviet troops. And so Bandera, is this some kind of separate entity or the one who created the Ukrainian Nazi Party? Bandera was not with his supporters because he did not show proper obedience in the role that was assigned to him. But that's all that distinguishes him from Hitler's other henchmen. Hitler did not pick up a gun, and did not shoot Jews. He could say that it was done because of a misunderstanding of his thesis. Maybe Hitler is not a fascist?

    This historian does not understand the topic he is talking about. 1. Hitler also did not personally exterminate people in gas chambers. Bandera was in the political sector of the counter-camp. In 1944, after he was released from there, he continued to fight on the side of the Nazis. Bandera was the leader of the OUN-b. OUN-b is a Nazi organization whose doctrine included the genocide of Poles, Russians and Jews. OUN-b fought on the side of the Nazis throughout the war. 2. Stalin was not a Nazi. Just like Chamberlain and Deladier, who collaborated with Hitler long before Stalin did, were not Nazis. Stepan Bandera and his organization OUN-b were Nazis. Not figuratively, but literally. They were genocidalists who were directly responsible for numerous, mass murders based on ethnicity. One of their most famous “works” was the Volyn massacre during which the OUN-b killed 120 thousand Poles. 3. The goal of the OUN-b and its leader Stepana Bandera was not an independent Ukraine. Their goal was a Nazi, independent Urkaina in which there were no Poles, Jews and Russians. This is all stated in the OUN-b doctrine. Lex provides screenshots from Wikipedia confirming the professor’s words. Lex didn’t try to read the article about OUN-b on his own? All this is indicated there if you scroll through the article below.

But yeah🤷🏻‍♂️, he committed crimes against polish people which is condemned by the vast majority of ukrainians.
