In Ukraine, they decided to return the title of Hero of Ukraine to Stepan Bandera. The corresponding draft resolution on appeal to the President of Ukraine regarding the return of high rank is registered in the Verkhovna Rada. Project published on the website of the Ukrainian parliament.
For the return of the title of Hero of Ukraine to the head of the OUN-UPA banned in Russia and to the former Nazi intelligence officer Stepan Bandera, representatives of various factions totaling 21 MPs made a speech. Currently, the draft is being considered by the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, after which a vote will be taken, and the corresponding application will be sent to Poroshenko’s signature, which of course will sign it.
Earlier in Ukraine, Bandera had already been given the title of Hero of Ukraine. It happened in January 2010, when the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, by his decree "awarded" the Nazi henchman with the high title of the hero. However, Stepan Andreevich Bandera did not spend a long time "in heroes". 2 April 2010, the Donetsk Regional Administrative Court deprived Bandera of the title of Hero of Ukraine, since he was not a citizen of Ukraine. The Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine in 2011 year upheld this decision.
It should be noted that in the year 2019 in Ukraine they plan to celebrate the 110 anniversary of the birth of Stepan Bandera widely, and the authorities of the Zhytomyr region have announced the next year as the year of Stepan Bandera.
