The 14th Waffen Division of the SS continues to be honored in Lviv, Ukraine. Public demonstrations to support the 14th Waffen, declared a criminal organization by Nuremberg, have continued for years.

Files available through hr CIA document the radical extremism of Stepan Bandera loyalists, describing how Bandera was detained by German authorities after proclaiming Ukraine’s independence:
And includes a statement that Bandera would help the Allies if the Western powers “abandon their attempt to maintain lawful relations with Russia:”
Bandera’s focus on destroying Russia caused a schism among Ukraine nationalists in the WWII and post-WWII era:
In 1942, Bandera lied about having the support of the Germans to declare an independent Ukraine. After the Germans demanded Bandera cease his political activities, him and his followers launched a campaign of terrorism:
“Bandera falsifiers resorted to the fabrication of two false documents” in order to proclaim an independent state whose first act “was an expression of the deepest gratitude for Hitler:”
Western media outlets have covered these marches, which includes widespread use of Nazi symbols, slogans, and apparel.
In 2012, BBC alleged widespread racist abuse during Euro 2012 soccer/futbol tournament hosted in Urkaine. A Polish teams home city was likewise accused of engaging in anti semetic chants. Ukraine ambassador dismissed the claims.

Jewish News One from 2013:
A EuroNews video posted in 2013 video explains how the nationalist Ukraine movement had been working since 2005 to march on October 14th, which is a religious holiday in Orthodox Christianity dedicated to the Mother of God (Theotokos' Ever Virgin Mary). The nationalist group made Nazi type salutes while waving nationalist banners, including those to honor Stepan Bandera UPA. The nationalist party choosing to March on an important Orthodox holiday was a strategy to strengthen their political movement by elevating politics above religion. This would be similar to a radical Nazi party marching on Christmas in the United States The goal is to have the population view the date as politically significant instead of one with religious importance, thereby changing the culture. Second, religion is an obstacle for political movements, as the political movement must “compete” with the church for the time of the individual. If the individual is busy with religious services, they can not volunteer to help a political movement or would refuse to elevate the political cause above the spiritual and religious.
