So much for 'we'll deal with historical accounts after the war' argument. I'm thinking about Zelensky's pantheon of heroes

At this point I think Poland should asap just dot the roads leading to the Ukrainian border with dozens of billboards showing, for instance, the balance of UPA's civilian casualties versus those killed Nazis and Communists (meaning 70k-150k compared to a maximum of 30k combined), the crimes of individual commanders, or particularly brutal decisions. Maybe even Israel would chip in if there was room to include the Jewish pogroms organized by the OUN.

​In my opinion, the Ukrainian gov are shooting themselves in the foot. If their pantheon includes nazis and war criminals, they will give themselves the worst possible reputation. Zelensky will cynically milk this topic to the point of absurdity, but his domestic support will remain absolutely top-notch. What do you guys think about this? Assuming you even care at all

Edit: yeah so, I’ve been talking to you guys in the comments and here’s what I’ll say. A good chunk of people couldn't care less, and the other 70% just parrot whatever also Polish media says about how Ukrainians view this issue is in your country. If anyone's curious about my personal opinions, they’re in the comments.

I think I’ve had enough for now. The whole thing is heartbreaking because you guys seriously don’t get it.

​No love from now on, I guess
