I don't see Nazi shit here. How much do you get paid to spread Russian disinformation? Or do you just do this because you believe in the cause?

Bandera remains a highly controversial figure in Ukraine.[9] Many Ukrainians hail him as an example,[10][11] or as a martyred liberation fighter,[12] while other Ukrainians, particularly in the south and east, condemn him as a fascist,[13] or Nazi collaborator,[10] whose followers, called Banderites, were responsible for massacres of Polish and Jewish civilians during World War II.[14][15]

Yeah that checks out... I probably should have kept digging deeper than just the song. I'm just tired of the whole "Ukrainians are all Nazis and Russia is the real victim" bullshit that gets peddled around here.

I see you've already been corrected by someone who explained you who Stepan Bandera was. I don't blame you for not digging deeper than the wikipedia article of the song, but I encourage you not to antagonize people with concerns about Nazism and strong opinions about it on the internet.

As for why the Wikipedia article of a song to Stepan Bandera doesn't start with a warning about him being Nazi (or have a "Criticism" section at the very least), I hope that also makes you reflect on the bias in Wikipedia when discussing topics with geopolitical implications.

Stepan Bandera is a well known figure that has been discussed heavily since the beginning of the war, and his rehabilitation as a "Ukrainian patriot" completely whitewashing Nazism is extremely concerning to socialists like me, and even to non-socialists in neighboring countries like Poland.
