    "If Ukraine promotes Bandera in its historical policy, it will alienate Europe, which has an unequivocal opinion about Nazi collaborators"

    Does it really

      europeans only disliked nazis because they killed europeans

      if nazis didn't destroy europe in a war they'd be celebrated as heroes (look at how much europeans worship america)

        Europeans loved the Nazis, they only “dislike” them now that their new fascist daddy USA has taken over.

        Nazi collaboration was the norm across all of Western Europe. Of course, if all you had to go by were the word of Europeans you’d find that the number of resistance members seemed to be triple the population of Europe.

      Honestly i think the eu-cool only has a negative view of bandera because he killed polish people, if the OUN only killed jews and russians they wouldnt care much

        i've unironically seen a more moderate NAFO mf be convinced that bandera was bad because a polish person was angry at him being glorified because of his killing of poles, but they didnt care about the antisemitic pogroms and killing communists and russians
