    There’s an outside possibility that her stage name being effectively “Heil Nazi Germany” is a coincidence as she claims.

    But her decision to keep that name despite it’s meaning, (which she is clearly aware of as she feels the need to justify it), her popularity in Ukraine despite keeping that name, the Ukrainian state’s decision to send her as their representative to EuroVision and to dress her in an outfit winking coyly at their Nazi national hero, that is a lot of outside possibilities all at once.

      I feel the same way about it that I did about the Finnish air force keeping the swastika post WWII. After the passage of enough time, it stops being an 'accident'

      If I were into drag performance there's a 100% chance that I would create a parody character of her and perform a comedic piece based on her song under the character name Stashynsky Squirter and then upload the recording of the performance to social media and tag her in it.

      Of course I'd also tell her that Stashynsky seemed like pretty common Ukrainian surname and that I'm only winking at the camera because I have an eyelash caught in my eye.
