The two articles quoted above confirm deep dissent between former and current president of Ukraine and I am sure that the dissent is real within Ukrainian nation. It seems that the western part is represented in larger numbers than the eastern one on this forum, hence Bandera generally gets rather positive assessment here. I still think that Yushchenko made a false move because he should have taken a possible backlash from Yanukovich into account. It is not good when there is a nation hero who is hated by half a nation.
I have heard that a monument of Bandera in Lviv has to be guarded 24/7 becuse of the real danger of vandalism.
It reminds me a statue of Lenin in Cracow during long period of people's Poland when streets cleaners had full-time job removing egg remnants from the body of "great revolution leader".
