Since one of the leaders of the OUN, Stepan Bandera, is “hated by Russia,” Bandera’s ideology should become dominant in Ukraine.
The head of the Lvov organization of the nationalist party "Svoboda" Lyubomir Melnichuk stated this on air on the NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Why are they so afraid of Bandera? You know, once upon a time we, Lviv residents, were called Banderaites. They thought we were offended by it, but we were actually proud of it all. I dream that all of Ukraine and all Ukrainians will be called Bandera by our enemies, and we will behave like Bandera’s. Then this will be a good sign that we are moving in the right direction, that we are moving towards an independent Ukraine.
Because who is Bandera? Bandera is a man who fought for an independent country at home and our enemies hate him very much for this. First of all, he is hated by the original enemy of Ukraine - the Russian Federation. I am convinced that Ukraine will win, I am convinced that Bandera will win, and I am convinced that Ukraine will exist, and we will still defeat all the enemies who are now posing as supposedly Ukrainian politicians.
And most importantly, I am pleased with the situation when more and more Ukrainians are beginning to understand the essence of Ukrainian nationalism and the essence of Bandera’s Ukraine,” Melnichuk said.
We would like to remind you that earlier the District Administrative Court of Kyiv declared the decision illegal Kyiv City Council on renaming Moskovsky Avenue to Bandera Avenue in the center of the Ukrainian capital.
