So why are you pretending now you didn`t know?
It's not that I didn't know about small fringe UPA-loving or SS-Galizien groups and discussed with Nathan and others here the point of clinging to this shameful part of their history, but I didn't realise the
"progress" that was made in this regard (all those new monuments, street names and now even stadiums, and also ever more banderists in power ruling the country) in an ostensibly democratic country. Especially after Maidan, when autocrat Yanukovych was removed from power, one would expect that a free and democratic country would solve the problem
instead of aggravating it.

What??? I am in no way supporting or justifying the Russian invasion, and I think I made it abundantly clear. All I'm saying is that the fact that in
free Ukraine, after Maidan, Orange Revolution, toppling Yanukovych etc. etc. it is profoundly shocking to see the problem of nazi-sympathisers getting not better but much worse. :-/
I feel like throwing up also when seeing Soviet stars on public buildings in Russia
I know! Of course, it's equally disgusting. But here we are talking about totalitarian Russia - you can expect that from them,
BUT on the other side we have
a peaceful, modern, democratic country with EU and NATO ambitions. How is it possible that this nazi nonsense not only continues but gets worse? How is it possible that politicians who are looking West and seriously consider joining European Union hang portraits of war criminals in their offices (like this mayor of Konotop)? How is it possible that democratically elected local authorities build monuments and name football stadiums after
genocidal sickf*cks? In an ostensibly free, democratic country with Western ambitions. Sorry, but this is seriously vomit-inducing.
As I said, I am now going to conduct deeper research on modern day nazism in today's Ukraine. Until that is completed I shall refrain from posting anything more here.
