'''Stepan Bandera''' (January 1, 1909 - October 15, 1959) was a controversial [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] nationalist. He led a rebel army, called the ''Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists'' (OUN), that fought the [[Red Army]]. The OUN fought sometimes alongside and sometimes against the Germans during the [[Second World War]]. After Bandera wanted to create an independent Ukrainian state, he was sent to a concentration camp in 1941. The OUN persecuted [[Jews]], [[Russian]]s and [[Poland|Poles]]. After the war, Bandera lived under a false name in [[Munich]], [[Germany]], where he was killed by a [[KGB]]-agent in 1959.<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/15000-nationalists-march-kiev</ref>
