 In order to create an illusion that the Ukrainian brand of nationalism was a product of domestic development, most early OUN writers denied their ideological connection to fascism in a self-deceptive manner, contradicting generally known facts.<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=bGPjqNGPc40C&lpg=PA286&vq=Fascists%20Union&pg=PA285 Heroes and Villains: Creating National History in Contemporary Ukraine]'', David R.

Stetsko also railed against the supposed conspiracy between Jewish capitalists and Jewish Communists.  According to Ukrainian nationalist scholar Taraz Kuzio, in 1945, Yaroslav Stetsko was still asking [[Adolf Hitler]] for armies to continue the fight on the Eastern front against the [[Allied Powers of World War II]].<ref>https://www.opednews.com/articles/Russian-Hacking-the-Electi-by-George-Eliason-Coup_Euromaidan_Russian-Influence_Ukraine-161219-878.html</ref>

-The leadership of the Ukrainian diaspora revolved around small groups of people in Ukraine, [[Europe]], and [[America]].  From 1986- 2003 the leader of the OUNb was Slava Stetsko.

Stetsko is the only [[Axis]] [[WWII]] leader who can claim eventual victory over the Allies even though this trio were responsible for the first [[Holocaust]] of [[World War II]]. It was the mass execution of over 30,000 [[Jews]] at Babi Yar. They starved 3 million [[POW|war prisoners]] to death in [[Ukraine]]. They tortured and murdered close to half million Ukrainians.

 In far-flung [[Nazi]] strongholds like [[New York]], [[Boston]], Stamford, [[Philadelphia]], and Geelong, [[Australia]] emigre kids are still taught that Stepan Bandera is a saint to be worshiped and a perfect person that they need to model their lives after.  Bandera ordered his followers to rape, torture, and murder; [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]] as a sign of heroism and dedication to the cause of his nationalism. This is why it is so prevalent today with the Ukrainian volunteer battalions like [[Pravy Sector]], [[Azov Battalion]], Donbas, Kiev Rus, or [[Aidar]].<ref>''When Nazi Hands Rock American Cradles'', GH Eliason.</ref>
-Even Ukrainian state symbolism which was given by the emigres celebrates this today by integrating the 3 prong pitch fork (trident- 3 tooth) as the national symbol for Ukraine.

The leader of the “protests” in February 2014 which ousted [[President Yanukovych]] was a [[neo-Nazi]] and follower of Stepan Bandera.<ref>https://washingtonsblog.com/2014/05/america-backed-fascists-ukraine-73-years-ago.html</ref>
 ==Ukrainian diaspora and Independence==
 The leadership of the Ukrainian diaspora revolved around small groups of people in Ukraine, [[Europe]], and [[America]].  From 1986- 2003 the leader of the OUNb was Slava Stetsko. Stetsko gained the mantle from her husband who died in 1986, Yaroslav Stetsko. He was the right hand to Stepan Bandera. Stetsko is the only Axis WWII leader who can claim eventual victory over the Allies even though this trio were responsible for the first [[Holocaust]] of World War II. It was the mass execution of over 30,000 Jews at Babi Yar. They starved 3 million war prisoners to death in Ukraine. They tortured and murdered close to half million Ukrainians. And they were never tried in court for these crimes.<ref>http://thesaker.is/ukraine-was-right-why-russia-is-the-biggest-threat-in-the-world/</ref>
