Stepan Bandera. The Leader of Ukrainian Idea

What makes Stepan Bandera a symbol of the Ukrainian liberation movement? Why is he, a prisoner of Hitler's concentration camps, called an enemy from some stands, while we are called a Leader and a hero? To understand this, it is worth overcoming the stereotypes that have become established in society thanks to powerful long-term Soviet propaganda.

Based on reliable facts, and interesting and unknown materials, the author tells about the life of the leader of the OUN without artificially created myths: what views he had, what ideals he was guided by, and, ultimately, what kind of person he was.
