        It was originally associated with the WWII nationalist Banderite movement, which has some dubious history

        They're fascists, they're all fascists, no ifs ands or buts here.

            Let's take a look at one of those "dubious" bits of history, shall we?

            CW: Participation in genocide

            The vast majority of pogroms carried out by the Banderites occurred in Eastern Galicia and Volhynia, but also in Bukovina.[3]: 237  The most deadly of them was perpetrated in the city of Lviv by the people's militia formed by OUN at the moment of the German arrival in the Soviet-occupied eastern Poland.[16] There were two Lviv pogroms, carried out in a one-month span, both lasting for several days; the first one from 30 June to 2 July 1941, and the second one from 25 to 29 July 1941.[17] The first pogrom took the lives of at least 4,000 Jews.
