On your point B: is it surprising to you that favorable views for a controversial public figure from the past known specifically for fighting against russian forces and for being extremely pro-Ukraine went significantly up in a year after Russia invaded Ukraine and forced ukrainians defend against them?
No matter how controversial Bandera’s ties to nazis were, I am almost certain that his recent rise in popularity is motivated primarily by the pro-ukrainian national identity part and not the pro-nazi part. Enemy of my enemy can be a useful ally at the moment, and all.
This is a lie
The very Wikipedia you linked
> Bandera remains a highly controversial figure in Ukraine."
A) it is not a contradiction, something can be controversial but still have broad support
B) "Bandera's favorability appeared to shoot up rapidly, with 74% of Ukrainians viewing him favorably according to an April 2022 poll from a Ukrainian research organization."
