Warsaw Moves To Make Cult of Stepan Bandera a Crime – Ukrainian National Hero Is Considered a Nazi Collaborator and a War Criminal in Poland

Banderism to become a crime in Poland.

Ever since the war in Ukraine started, neighboring Poland has absorbed over a million citizens fleeing the conflict.

While most are contributing to Polish society, many are just enjoying social benefits, and – what’s much worse – some bring with themselves the neo-Nazi cult of Kiev regime hero Stepan Bandera.

Any neo-Nazi cult would be bad enough, but Bandera is the man responsible for the WW2-era Volyn massacre of Poles that took over a hundred thousand lives.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki sent to the Sejm (parliament) an amendment to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance and to the Criminal Code.

The aim is to preventing ‘propagation of the ideology of Banderism’ and the denying the Volyn war crime.

RMF 24 reported (translated from the Polish):

“The amendment proposed by the president to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation is aimed at ‘clarifying the provisions defining the concept of crimes committed by members and collaborators of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists of the Bandera faction and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and other Ukrainian formations collaborating with the Third German Reich’.”

Changes to the Criminal Code will add, for the penalty of up to 3 years in prison for propagating totalitarianism and inciting hatred, the phrase: ‘The same punishment is imposed on anyone who publicly propagates (…) the ideology of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists of the Bandera faction and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or an ideology calling for the use of violence to influence political or social life’.
