    Propaganda is a motherfucker. Millions of Ukrainians in the 40s understood exactly who the Nazis were and why they had to be opposed, with only a few thousand choosing the opposite - but thirty years of capitalism has completely inverted the understanding of history.

      This. I had an ahah moment and went to look at how much support Bandera actually had. 20,000 OUN-B members at their peak, and 100,000 UPA fighters. At their peak. Meanwhile there were 4-7 million Ukrainians just in the Red Army, to say nothing of the millions and millions of civilians.
