Ukranian Nationalists and Anti-Communism

The soviet government has always insisted that there is no legitimate way for you crane to be independent. There are very uncomfortable, but kind of inextricable ties between a ukranianhe de basic idea of ukraine being a nation independent from russia, and anti communism. A decent number of those early ukranians were either directly implicated with the notes like bandero, or at least had uncomfortable ties. And that's a messy part of history that shouldn't be shied away from.
