Does anyone have books/long length documentaries on the fascist groups currently active in Ukraine? With the recent surge in nazi apologia, I feel it would be best to educate myself more on their history in Ukraine.

Also check out journalist Moss Robeson: https://linktr.ee/mossrobeson

He writes on the role of fascist escapees and their role in the Ukrainian diaspora in the US, CA, and AU. As well as the US contacts with the far right in Ukraine.

There is also the Plast scouting organization. They have existed since before WW1 and created Bandera and he would later recruit from the scouts to the OUN-B which would field the members of the SS Galicia Division with the sponsorship of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which also funded Plast and continues to do so in Ukraine, the US, CA, and AU. Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland went through the Plast program as her grandfather helped found the Canadian chapters. She also helped her uncle [iirc] write her grandfather's memoirs, he ran a pro-Nazi rag in Nazi occupied Poland.

Low key you can even search my profile for Ukraine, I've written some summaries about the situation generally.
