Ukrainian far-right radical revolutionary Stepan Bandera is remembered as the leader of the OUN-B, the militant wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Bandera participated in nationalist politics since an early age and later hoped to gain Ukrainian independence by teaming up with the German Nazis. However, after his men launched the Proclamation of Ukrainian statehood in German-occupied Lviv in 1941, he was arrested. He was subsequently sent to Nazi concentration camps. Though he led the OUN-B till his death, he failed to prevent the formation of a revolting faction, OUN Abroad. He spent his final years in Munich and was eventually assassinated by cyanide poisoning. A revolutionary hero in western Ukraine, he was awarded the Hero of Ukraine honor post-humoustly, though a pro-Russia president later revoked the title. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, however, made most Ukrainians look up to him as a revolutionary idol.
