Operation Ukraine: Bandera's Dark Shadow

In today’s Ukraine, that of the Kiev regime and Neo-Nazis, Stepan Bandera is a national hero. That was far from the case, his name loathed and crimes denounced. Yet those who came into power following the violent 2014 coup rename streets after him, organize processions in his honor, teach false historic narratives to kids in school, glorifying Nazism and banderovites. Bandera is for certain far from a decent role model. As a young man, Bandera trained his will and ruthlessness through sadistic acts towards defenceless animals. In his early youth he joined the Ukrainian nationalists’ underground terrorist organisation, the OUN, and ended up controlling the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Together with his followers, Bandera collaborated with the Nazis and was responsible for the genocide of Polish and Jewish civilians during WWII. Historian of Secret services Nikolay Dolgopolov: This is believed to be one of the most brutal episodes of extermination of Jews during the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union. It was done by the very same OUN advance units that marched along with the German Wehrmacht The documentary explains why Bandera’s atrocities are disregarded in modern Ukraine. It also tracks the way Hitler’s collaborator was elevated to the rank of national hero by the Ukrainian authorities. As well as highlights the West’s involvement in supporting, supplying and financing the Banderovites throughout the decades, nourishing the rise of the modern Ukrainian Neo-Nazism.
