Authorities in Kiev decided July 7 to rename the city’s Moscow Prospect in honor of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera.

Allegedly pro-Western Ukrainian leaders and protestors have idolized Bandera, and the move to rename a street after the man could further trouble relations with neighboring Russia, Lithuania’s Baltic News Service reported on July 9.

As with Lithuania’s Nazi puppet government in the summer of 1941, Bandera declared Ukrainian independence as soon as the Nazis invaded the Ukrainian SSR.
