Bandera is now celebrated in Ukraine just like Ante Pavelić in some parts of Croatia. But hey it’s just all propaganda you left leaning know it all piece of garbage!
Not really.....there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support this...he doesn't seem to have majority mainstream support, and most of his supporters are far right wing groups.
Happy to be corrected, if there is further evidence other than what Stone is claiming.
"Bandera remains a highly controversial figure in Ukraine.
[9] Many Ukrainians hail him as a role model hero,
[10][11] or as a martyred liberation fighter,
[12] while other Ukrainians, particularly in the south and east, condemn him as a
fascist,
[13] or
Nazi collaborator,
[10]whose followers, called
Banderites, were responsible for
massacres of Polish and
Jewish civilians during
World War II."
"On 22 January 2010,
Viktor Yushchenko, the then
president of Ukraine, awarded Bandera the posthumous title of
Hero of Ukraine, which was widely condemned."

"There are few figures in Ukrainian history as controversial as Stepan Bandera, and fewer still are able to influence so profoundly modern politics more than six decades after their death.
Bandera, who died in 1959 after being poisoned by Soviet agents, is seen as a national hero who fought for Ukrainian independence during the 1930s and 1940s. To others, he is a war criminal whose nationalist forces carried out atrocities against Jews and Poles during WW2."
Six decades after Bandera's murder at the hands of Soviet agents in Munich, his life remains a key electoral issue in Ukraine. #UncoveringEurope
