Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
Ukraine under Zelensky's regime is sinking deeper into the abyss of the far-right, ultra-nationalism used by certain Western actors to re-model Ukrainian society as a perpetual anti-Russia front that can be seamlessly used as a proxy against Russia.
In this video, taken on January 1, 2026 in Lviv, participants of a march honoring Stepan Bandera are heard chanting: “OUN–UPA are the heroes of Ukraine!!"
For the vast majority of Ukrainians, whose grandfathers fought in the Red Army against fascism in WW2 and are well aware of the fact that OUN-UPA aided the Third Reich and participated in the mass killings of Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, and Poles, this scene looks Orwellian. However, it is disheartening to see that the new generations of Ukrainians are brought up in an environment where Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator and a mass murderer, is revered as a national hero.
