"And let it sometimes seems to us that everything is against us, that we are strangers in our country, but it is not so. There are a lot of us - hundreds of us in this hall and millions near the TV screens… We bring flowers to the eternal flame on May 9, we annually restore monuments to the soldiers died in the war against fascism", - the presenters continue saying.

As reported, in the course of decommunization, a number of streets, avenues and squares in Ukraine are given new names. Some of them bear the names of leaders of the nationalist movement, such as head of the OUN Stepan Bandera, commander of the UPA Roman Shukhevych and others. Russian propaganda and the fifth column in Ukraine, drawing attention to individual episodes of the activity of structures headed by these nationalists, accuses Bandera and Shukhevych of collaborating with the fascists, ignoring their role in the national liberation movement of the Ukrainian people.
