How many monuments must be erected to Nazi murderers, streets named after them and days of remembrance before @IAPonomarenko admits that the Nazi gangrene is deeper than tattoos and insignia?
In Kalush a street named after Dmytro Paliyiv of the Nazi Waffen SS «Galizia» #Ukraine
Kyiv City Council named street after antisemitic editor of Nazi n/paper «Volyn» in Rivne - Ulas Samchuk. Samchuk wrote many articles justifying murders and calling to kill Jews. N/paper published 318 anti-Jewish pieces while 25k Jews in Rivne were killed, incl. 6k Jewish children
As of today there are over 100 plaques, parks, streets, monuments named after Stepan Bandera the Ukrainian OUN-B leader.
In Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kiev, Ternopil ...
Zhovkva welcomed the Nazi invasion of Ukraine with banners: “Heil Hitler! Glory to Petliura! Glory to Bandera!”
The Ternopil State Regional Administration has a huge poster of Stepan Bandera WWII leader of Ukrainian nationalists that heavily participated in Holocaust and perpetrated ethnic cleansing of peaceful Poles population in 1943-44.
But the elements decided that was enough.

There are so many ... but this thread wouldn't be complete without Andryi Melnyk (memorial complex in Volya Yakubova, Ukraine), who headed the other OUN, M for Melnyk. His organization was as sadistic and murderous as OUN-B. He is celebrated throughout western Ukraine.
