LVOV, March 4 (Itar-Tass) -- A nationwide protest titled “Stepan Bandera Is Not a Hero of Ukraine” has begun in Zhitomir western Ukraine on Wednesday.
The protest was initiated by the Socialist Party and the Party of the War Children.
Activists have begun collecting signatures for cancelling former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko’s decree that awarded Bandera and another nationalist leader Roman Shukhevich the title of Hero of Ukraine.
They will also give out leaflets explaining the situation in order to prevent confrontation in society.
The purpose of the campaign, which is also beginning in other Ukrainian regions, is to prevent falsification of history and glorification of Nazi supporters.
