The title implies its been creeping into the modern Ukrainian army, which only existed for 33-something years. The “80 years” part may only be applicable to the outside world. It’s mixed up a bit here.

Ukrainian fascism was created outside Ukraine

Fascism by its very nature is always an Astroturfed movement. And given the fact that we’re talking about a former Soviet republic - it had to be forcefully pushed into the country, with billions of dollars pouring from the Empire’s coffers.

Fascism was created in the Western Europe

I wouldn’t quite put it like that - reactionary movements existed prior to Mussolini and Hitler - the particular form that was eventually coined as “fascism” was, though. UNR, I would say, were also reactionaries, so were the Whites etc. The point stands -Banderism is undoubtedly a vile child of the West.

This comment is spot on, though. Couldn’t agree more.

Very good post. I saved this for later, when I write my own works on the issue - it’ll come in handy. Thank you
