[quote=Anonymous]I saw a documentary by PBS "The battle for Ukraine" that was trying to be unbiased, definitely NOT pro-Russian, but it did have a bit on the far-right movement in Ukraine.  One of the boys shown was wearing a face of Stepan Bandera on his tshirt and the commentator mentioned that for some far right Ukrainians Bandera is a national hero. If you google the info on this character even if you know nothing you will find a lot of disturbing info that would make Genghis Khan blush in terms of atrocities they committed during the WW2 when some Ukrainian far right faction joined German nazis and did all the dirty work for them exterminating Poles and Jews in Ukraine.  It's a complicated issue and not one sided, there isn't a right way or wrong way to look at it, especially in light of modern politics, other than admit that no country in the world has a perfect history and try to be respectful of those whose opinions may not be the cheerleading involvement of Azov and other nazi groups in the Ukrainian army even if they fight against their country's invader.
