Summary

Dominique Pagani discusses Stepan Bandera in his sessions on the war in Ukraine and on what he calls "Atlanticist renazification." He presents him as a Nazi collaborator and as the leader of the Ukrainian Nazis, whom Ukraine's current leaders have made into a national hero1. He returns several times to the cruelty of the Banderite forces toward communists, Jews and Poles, a violence that he says shocked even the SS23. He dwells on Bandera's rehabilitation: streets, avenues and monuments bear his name, notably in Kyiv, and he calls the consensus surrounding it "obscene"4. He also links the Svoboda party to the cult of the Banderite regiments5. Between 2022 and 2025, his position stays the same: he contrasts Bandera's crimes, which he calls "unbearable," with the tribute the Ukrainian state pays him6.
