For some, Bandera is a murderer and a criminal; for others, he is a liberator and a hero. Such is history, and that's what makes it interesting. There are also myths about Bandera, which differ greatly from what history tells us about him. It is these images and myths we will explore, because history is a complex matter where no one can simply be accused or justified. Unlike the war in Ukraine, not everything in history is so clear-cut.
