I don't have anything to add. It's been a decade and people are still talking about Putin's Pee Tapes. I'm tired.

I can't precisely remember, where I read this.

Wikipedia article basically covers it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slava_Ukraini

The phrase first appeared at the beginning of the 20th century in different variations, when it became popular among Ukrainians during the Ukrainian War of Independence from 1917 to 1921.[1] The response "Glory to the heroes!" first appeared during the Ukrainian War of Independence or later in the 1920s among members of the League of Ukrainian Nationalists.[2] In the 1930s, it became widespread as a slogan of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN),[3] as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities in the West during the Cold War. In the Soviet Union, the phrase was forbidden. The phrase eventually resurfaced in Ukraine during the country's struggle for independence in connection with the fall of the Soviet Union. Its use was revived again during the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Russo-Ukrainian War, during which it became a widely popular symbol in Ukraine.

Sounds weird, because I literally never seen this phrase mentioned in any contemporary accounts before late 1920s-early 1930s.

The source it lists for that has a note for the Nova Rada paper dated 1917 that says it "Slava! Slava Ukraine!" in the middle.

The source says it goes back earlier to around 1900 by Kharkiv Ukrainian students' association. Not sure how dependable Istorychna Pravda is as a source. The author is Yury Yuzych, head of Plast Supervisory Council, which is some international Ukrainian network (particularly in Canada) so I assume it's fascist in nature. Found a Radio Free Europe article where he's associated with a "patriotic summer camp" in Ukraine from 2024 so I'm like 90% he's a fascist.
