President of Croatia: "But there is no difference between Za dom spremni and Slava Ukraini [Glory to Ukraine]. This is the cry of the most radical chauvinists of Western Ukraine who worked with the Nazis and killed thousands of Jews, Poles..." n1info.hr/vijesti/milano…
"Greeting ‘Slava Ukraini’ (Glory to Ukraine) and a fascist style hand salute were modeled by the OUN on a basis of similar greetings and salutes by other fascist and semi-fascist parties in Germany (Nazi), Italy (National Fascist), and Croatia (Ustasha)." researchgate.net/publication/26…
Glory to Ukraine greeting accompanied by fascist-type hand salute was adopted by OUN & then Bandera faction of OUN based on hand salutes & greetings of Nazi party & other fascist and semi-fascist parties, like Ustasha. OUN book shows fascist OUN salute.
"Far-right organizations in the Maidan regarded themselves as ideological heirs of the OUN and the UPA and used symbols adopted from them, such as red and black flag, and “Glory to Ukraine - Glory to Heroes,” “Glory to the Nation,” and “Ukraine above all" researchgate.net/publication/33…
"The non-far right Maidan leaders, parties, and protesters also started to use the “Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes” greeting during the Euromaidan by borrowing it from the far-right parties, but they ignored or denied the fascist origins of this greeting."
"Za Dom-Spremni! (the Ustaše equivalent of the Nazi Sieg heil) and Slava Ukrainy!Heroiam Slava! (Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!) fulfilled similar functions, were introduced at the same time, and were both to be carried out with a raised right arm" israelnationalnews.com/news/250746
"claims that "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!” preceded their use by OUN-B-UPA are not confirmed by archival and other documentary sources, and there is no other contemporaneous evidence of use of the greeting in such form and as a formal greeting" researchgate.net/publication/34…
President of Croatia: "There is no difference between "Za dom spremni" and "Glory to Ukraine..." I don't want to hear "Glory to Ukraine" in Croatia. I am not interested in the fact that some leaders got hooked on it. Let them invent a different greeting." n1info.hr/vijesti/milano…

"Croatian president Milanović compares 'Slava Ukraini' salute to 'Sieg Heil.' "The Croatian salute is as old as 'Slava Ukraini' and the 'Sieg Heil' chant used in Nazi Germany. I don’t want to ever hear [those chants] in Croatia,” he said." #Ukraine️ euronews.com/2023/06/01/cro…

Per Rudling, leading historian of OUN & UPA on fabrication of OUN-UPA salute origin: "Viatrovych now claims that the Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! greeting predated the OUN and goes back the Kholodnyi Iar and 1918. I've seen no evidence of this." "israelnationalnews.com/news/250746
Whitewashers of OUN & far-right in Wikipedia propagate fakes. Shevchenko poem quote is fake. He wrote "glory of Ukraine." Phrase is not same as OUN greeting/salute. Different greetings by students & soldiers are fakes written by émigré writers in 1930s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slava_Ukr…
