    But also, if you're explicitly told that they're a world war II era political leader that fought against the Soviet Union and committed crimes against Jews, probably safe to say that you denounce them.

      a world war II era political leader

      this puts him at 77 years old at the youngest plausible age, but "political leaders" are probably at least 40 so I'd guess we're talking about a 97+ year old person. I didn't watch the interview, but did this person present themselves as old or was this person presented as any generic 30-60 year old person?

      Because the idea that Stephen King talked to someone presenting themselves as if they were 40 but credentializing themselves like they were almost 100 years old is pretty hilarious.

        Nah, he thought he was talking to Zelensky, and the person posing as Zelensky described Bandera and King was like "Both you, Zelensky, and this old WW2 era Nazi you like so much, 'Bandera' are super rad dudes."
