The organizers of the Bandera march in Kyiv failed the mass participation and the song record
Despite predictions that 40 militants would be transported to Kyiv by train to participate in the now-traditional march marking the anniversary of the creation of the collaborationist UPA , the nationalist rally was not very large – the organizers themselves admitted that just over 8 people showed up.
This became known at the end of the event, when, according to the scenario, those gathered on European Square were supposed to set a record - the largest mass performance of the UPA anthem.
It was announced from the stage that about 8 thousand people were singing the anthem, although, for example, the live broadcast reporter from the American Radio Liberty claimed that in previous years the nationalist marches were not so impressive.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports , the record for mass singing was also questionable – the assembled crowd apparently didn't know the words, and the song was only clearly audible from the stage during the broadcast.
But at the end, the extras loudly shouted the familiar chant “Death to the enemies!”
The very procession along Khreshchatyk took place under the burning of fireworks, the participants shouted slogans “Glory to Kievan Rus - Novorossiya suck”, “Bandera is our hero”, “Glory to Ukraine” and “Muscovites to the knives”, and the sounds of pyrotechnic explosions were periodically heard.
