    Okay but it did mean fascism after ww2. You know, after nazi collaborators participated in the holocaust in Ukraine, killing Ukrainian Jewish folks and others.

    I dont think the original Ukrainian republic in 1917 was fascist though, we agree there.

      Vichy France of Pétain participated in the Holocaust too. France still use the fasces, the same anthem and the same flag.

          That’s not the point. The point is: Ukraine is a normal country, nor a fascist hellhole nor a perfect Paradise. Their national symbol is also used by its far right, today and during the WWII; just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe. And just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe, they continued to use their national symbols after the WWII.
