Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist

For more than half a century after his death Stepan Bandera has been for many Ukrainians the hero of the liberation movement. On the basis of Bandera's biography, Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe records the history of Ukrainian militant nationalism throughout the twentieth century, the changing relationship between the movement and German National Socialism, and its collaboration with Western secret services. The Bandera cult, this study shows, is part of the highly controversial politics of memory dividing Ukraine once more into East and West.-Susanne Heim, University of Freiburg
