Ukraine's president to abolish his predecessor's decision on Bandera
Ukraine’s President Victor Yanukovich is expected to abolish a decree passed by his predecessor to bestow the title of Hero of Ukraine on the wartime collaborator with the Nazis Stepan Bandera. A source in the presidential administration has told Reuters that the relevant decision will be released by the 65th anniversary of the Allied Victory in the Second World War which Kiev will be celebrating together with Moscow on May 9th. Stepan Bandera was the leader of Ukrainian Nationalists from 1941 to 1959. The decree by the former President Viktor Yushchenko to make him Hero of Ukraine received little support at home and triggered severe condemnation from Poland and Russia. The Israeli Simon Wiesenthal Center has described it as revolting. And the European Parliament has urged the new president to cancel it.
