Radio Free Winnipeg

In Radio Free Winnipeg's third episode on Fascism & antifa Scott and Greg interview historian John Paul-Himka about the national narratives used by Ukrainian Nationalist groups both in Ukraine and in Canada that not only glorify war criminals and Nazi collaborators but trade in historical revisionism. John Paul-Himka is professor emeritus at the University of Alberta https://www.ualberta.ca/history-classics/people/emeriti/himka Scott and Greg discuss why the Ukrainian national myths are important both domestically and in terms of wider geo-political trends as well as discuss similar trends around the western world. Why have these nationalistic narratives become more common and why do they find a wider audience today? How do Fascist groups use these narratives to their own advantage?
