    Fun fact: Your own link disproves your claim that it’s a Nazi term. The only reason it wasn’t used after the Nazis used it was because Russia took over Ukraine, and they have a vested interest in destroying the national identity of Ukraine. As soon as they got rid of those SECOND authoritarian invaders, they started chanting it again.

    So the only people who want to tie “Slava Ukraini” to the far right are Russia and, by sheer coincidence, you. The rest of us oppose misinformation, which you know for a damn fact is what you’re doing. I think “no” should suffice.

        Stepen Bandera wasn’t the one who made the phrase popular. It was a regular chant 23 years before that guy was in power, and 12 years before that group was founded.

          Ok, I “checked” my own link:

          However it was in the 1930s when it really took hold, becoming a rallying cry for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), explained Oleksandr Zaitsev, a historian from the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.

            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.

              The Nazis also didn’t invent the “Heil!” exclamation or the roman salute. It’s still not ok to do either of these things. Not to mention the Swastika.
