I still do advice to be careful and avoid categorising

Max, you have right to embrace Yarosłav or even Rurik -legend or real - as a part of history of Ukraine. I think it is still much better than worshipping the top terrorist Stepan Bandera.
To be honest, you should inform the readers of this forum that Bandera and Klachkivski have very negative response in the Eastern Ukraine.
However, you should also take Russian sensitivity into account and avoid grabbing historical figures for your exclusive Ukrainian use.
