'''Ukrainian nationalism''' is a [[NATO]]-[[Nazi]] psyop to prevent the re-establishment of the [[Soviet Union]].

==Foreign involvement==

=== German involvement ===
[[File:OUN-r Flag 1941.svg.png|thumb|Flag of the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]]]]
Dating all the way back to the [[First World War]], Ukrainian nationalism has existed as an [[astroturfed movement]]. Ukrainian nationalism was originally astroturfed by the [[German Empire]] in 1917 to justify the breakup of the ex-[[Russian Empire]]'s territories in Eastern Europe.<ref>[https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1918/russian-revolution/ch03.htm The Nationalities Question]</ref> The original Ukrainian nationalist movement slowly died out towards the end of the [[Russian Civil War]] in 1923, however it was revitalized again by [[Nazi Germany]] during the [[Second World War]] to weaken the [[Soviet Union]] (USSR). During the [[Great Patriotic War]], the [[National Socialist German Workers' Party|Nazis]] astroturfed Ukrainian nationalist movements to serve as collaborators under their ''[[Reichskommissariat Ukraine]]''.<ref>[https://www.rt.com/russia/571662-ukranian-nationalists-in-ussr/ Nazi collaborators, dissidents and Soviet functionaries: The untold story of how Ukraine achieved independence]</ref> Examples of this included Ukrainian nationalist collaboration included the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]] (UPA) and the [[Ukrainian Auxiliary Police]] (UDP). [[Stepan Bandera]], who later became an icon for the modern Ukrainian nationalist movement, served as the leader of the UPA and a UDP officer.<ref>[https://www.rt.com/russia/567200-vinnitsa-tolstoy-bandera-street/ Ukrainian city names street after Nazi collaborator]</ref><ref>[https://www.rt.com/russia/569309-ukrainian-parliament-celebrate-nazi-collaborator/ Ukrainian parliament slammed for celebrating Nazi collaborator]</ref> Bandera helped Nazi Germany extend the [[Holocaust]] into Ukraine, murdering [[Poland|Poles]], [[Czechia|Czechs]], Russians, [[Judaism|Jews]], and [[Communism|Communists]] regardless of ethnicity.

=== British Involvement ===
British intelligence made contact with Ukrainian nationalists in 1946, alongside American and French intelligence.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080411143934/http://history.org.ua/oun_upa/upa/23.pdf</ref> In 1950, British intelligence collaborated with the CIA to infiltrate the Soviet Union and, particularly, to support the agency's infiltration operations in Ukraine. While American intelligence was in favor of the UHVR, a coalition of multiple anti-Soviet and nationalist partisan groups (including the UPA and Banderite OUN), British intelligence itself was far more supportive of the OUN in particular.<ref name=":3" /> CIA documents implicate MI6 (SIS) in Operations Belladonna and AERODYNAMIC.<ref>https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/AERODYNAMIC%20%20%20VOL.%209%20%20(DEVELOPMENT%20AND%20PLANS)_0039.pdf</ref>

==History==

Ukraine means "borderland" in Russian. The Ukrainian language is effectively a dialect of Russian, being mutually intelligible. So is [[Belarus|Belarusian]]. Yet Ukrainians hate this fact more than Belarusians. Why? Their history.

===Sovereignty under USSR===

Ukraine first became an independent nation thanks to [[Vladimir Lenin]], as he destroyed the Russian Empire under [[Kerensky]], proclaimed the right of nations to self-determination, and recognized the Ukrainian People's Republic as a nation.

The workers of Ukraine, like other nations of the former Russian Empire, rose up to join the Russian Bolsheviks in forming the [[Soviet Union]]. So the Bolsheviks could have merged Ukraine with Russia. Other short-lived "national" republics of the Civil War, like the Crimean People's Republic,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-independence_movements_in_the_Russian_Civil_War</ref> met such a fate. However, the Bolsheviks chose to continue recognizing Ukraine as a nation.

Due to [[Trotsky]] delaying the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty, Western Ukraine was captured by Poland and occupied from 1918 to 1939. To stop the spread of communist dictatorship, Poland immediately became a dictatorship of Josef Pilsudski. As its prisons worse than the Gulags filled up, Polish fascism switched to abducting and secretly murdering communists and unionists. Under these conditions, surviving Western Ukrainians developed severe Russophobia, which has carried over<ref>According to polls on Euromaidan etc</ref> to modern times.

A major inspiration for modern Ukrainian nationalists is the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. <ref>Ukrainian nationalists: "Reherit": "OUN: The beginning and end of independence." https://lia.lvivcenter.org/en/themes/reherit/oun/</ref> This organization was founded by exiled Ukrainians in Austria in 1929 and following the trends of the time, became fascist. In response to Polish oppression, it attacked Polish leaders. However, being avowedly anti-communist, it saw the Soviets as the ultimate threat, and begged for the Nazis to save them.<ref>Rossoliński-Liebe, Grzegorz (2014).

Allying with the Nazis during World War II, the OUN rose up against the Soviets, taking power mainly in Western Ukraine<ref>https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%A2%D0%B5%D1%80-%D1%80%D1%96%D1%8F_%D0%A3%D0%94%D0%9F.png</ref>. The Nazis ordered the OUN's self-declared state to disband in favor of their direct puppet Reichskommissariat, but the OUN continued to lick Nazi boots and fight the Soviets.

Led by Stepan Bandera, the OUN attacked civilian communists, Poles, and Jews, terrorizing women and children. Nazi propaganda praised them and the Nazis armed them.

After World War II, the OUN was funded by the CIA through Operation Aerodynamic.

===Banderite Ukraine===
