Among the national holidays in Ukraine is Day of Victory over Nazism (officially known as the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism).
But how can Day of Victory over Nazism be declared a national holiday in Ukraine while the Ukrainian authorities simultaneously name streets in Ukrainian cities after individuals who served in the armed forces of Nazi Germany?
At the top left is a photograph of Petro Dyachenko, who commanded the 31st SD Battalion in Ukraine during World War II (the SD, like the SS, was declared a criminal organization by the Nuremberg Tribunal). At the end of the war, in April 1945, Dyachenko commanded the “Free Ukraine” Brigade, which defended the German capital alongside Nazi forces. These facts from Dyachenko’s biography have been published on the official website of the Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform.
However, this did not prevent the Ukrainian authorities from naming streets in Nikopol, Zhmerynka, Bila Tserkva, and other Ukrainian cities after P. Dyachenko.
And this is not the only case in Ukraine where streets have officially been named after people who served in the armed forces of Nazi Germany.
Celebrating Day of Victory over Nazism is also completely incompatible with the open use of Nazi symbols and Nazi salutes in the Ukrainian army; see the photo in the upper right from a video investigation by the French newspaper Le Monde, published last year (see video below too). Moreover, as far as I know, the Ukrainian authorities have not denied the specific claims made in this investigation.
