This article is about Ukrainians of today, from 2014 onward honoring actual Nazis with statues and street names.

It is clear you didn’t read even the first paragraph of this article before dismissing it.

Do Finns of today erect statues of Nazis who mass murdered thousands, and name streets after them?

As a response to this article, your response makes no sense at all.

Actual Nazis like Stephan Bandera?

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.

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.

But but but ... you told us Ukraine is really Russian. Why did all these Russians yearning only to be reunited with Moscow, collaborate with Germany to fight the Soviets? It is a conundrum.

There’s a statue of a Nazi in front of NASA headquarters.

It’s been there for decades.
