Declaring Bandera a national hero makes a damage to Ukrainian image abroad
Yes, Ukrainians had full right to proclaim Bandera a hero and the world had full rights to expres its negative feelings about it. There are bitter questions, though: do Ukrainians lack real, strong heroes so they are obliged to search through "reserve cadres"?
I deplore that similar things happen from time to time in my country, luckily, at local scale, where some politicians want to bury communist past at all cost and they decorate cruel anti-communists guerillas with post-mortal honours in spite of their record of evil left behind.
