On Feb. 25, the European Parliament adopted a resolution [1], in which, among other things, it called on “the new Ukrainian leadership” to “reconsider” the posthumous award granted to Stepan Bandera [2] a month earlier. In a post titled “Bandera Bashing Déjà vu [3],” Stepan Bandera's grandson – Steve Bandera of Kyiv Scoop – recalls how he accompanied his mother to the Supreme Court of Canada 25 years ago “to defend the honour and integrity of the Bandera name.”
