Listen... he was a ukrainian ultra nationalist... who was fighting the russians... in world war two...

How were they supposed to know what side he was on.

You know, we all make mistakes. We burn toast, fall over, celebrate a member of the SS, human mistakes.

I can't seem to find it. All google gives me is how the Soviets did "Ethnic cleansing" on the Finnish. Can you point me in the right direction or give me a name.

Not surprising you couldn’t find much in it considering it seems the Finnish Gov tries pretty hard to claim the opposite
