I'm sorry, that still sounds more like a committed anti-communist who cooperated with the Nazi regime for a time than an actual Nazi.For a time, Bandera collaborated with Nazi Germany. When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, he prepared the 30 June 1941 Proclamation of Ukrainian statehood in Lviv, pledging to work with Nazi Germany. For his refusal to rescind the decree, Bandera was arrested by the Gestapo and on 5 July 1941 held under house arrest. After January 1942 Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp but kept in special, comparatively comfortable detention. In 1944, with Germany rapidly losing ground in the war in the face of the advancing Allied armies, Bandera was released in the hope that he would be instrumental in deterring the advancing Soviet forces. He set up the headquarters of the re-established Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council, which worked underground. After the war, Bandera with his family settled in West Germany where he remained the leader of the OUN-B and worked with several anti-communist organizations such as the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations as well as with the US and British intelligence agencies. Fourteen years after the end of the war, Bandera was assassinated in 1959 by KGB agents in Munich, West Germany.
It’s a shame you didn’t read the article, your response might be more sensible and relevant if you had.

He was even assassinated by the KGB.
Look, having cooperated with the Nazis at any time certainly is viewed today as a mistake, as we know the Nazis to be pure evil.
But these people weren’t killing Jews, they were trying to get a Ukraine independent from the communists.
Imprisoned by the Nazis, tried to get his region unrepentant from Moscow and Germany, anti communist ultimately assassinated by the KGB.
Is a statute to him the same as honoring Nazis? I don’t think so.
There you go posting facts! You actually expect these people to respect facts?
