The restaurant’s Facebook response:

They also have a gift shop where you can buy the Nazi flag and one with Bandera’s face on it!

So many NAFO fucks are flossing the replies, plus Ukraine flags in general.

    Quoting Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe’s Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist, pages 171–2:

    In his autobiography from 1959, Bandera also wrote that he demanded that the policies of the OUN should be less dependent on outside factors, by which he meant cooperation with Nazi Germany. This claim from 1959, however, corresponds neither with the OUN-B’s actions in 1940–1941, nor with what Bandera expressed in an undated letter to Mel’nyk, written in August 1940, when he was outraged at the rumor spread by Baranovs’kyi that Bandera was hostile to Nazi Germany.

      Some of the replies were trying to say Bandera wasn’t a Nazi because he was arrested by the Nazis…

        That’s not good enough. The reason that the German Reich temporarily arrested him had nothing to do with his antisemitic fascism (pg. 248):

        In accordance with an order from Heydrich on 13 September 1941, a number of leading OUN-B members, including Bandera and Stets’ko, were arrested on 15 September, the reason for which was the assassination of [OUN‐M members] Stsibors’kyi and Senyk on 30 August in Zhytomyr.

        Furthermore (pg. 286):

        The Providnyk was released from Zellenbau on 28 September 1944, and was kept in Berlin under house arrest. Shortly afterwards, the Germans also released Stets’ko, Mel’nyk, Bul’ba-Borovets’, and about 300 other OUN members who had been held in different camps. While under house arrest Bandera could move about the city and meet other people. In a bulletin on 14 November the OUN announced that “the Leader Stepan Bandera is free.” The Nazis had released Bandera and some other special political prisoners from Zellenbau because Germany was losing the war and wanted to organize Russians, Ukrainians, and other Eastern Europeans for the last struggle against the Red Army.
