EDMONTON, CANADA - AUGUST 23, 2023: Roman Shukhevych controversial sculpture located near the Ukrainian Youth Association in Edmonton, on August 23, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Roman Shukhevych led the UPA in the fight for Ukrainian independence against both Soviets and Nazis. He collaborated with the Nazis from February '41 to December '42, commanding the Nachtigall Battalion and serving in Schutzmannschaft 201 police. Shukhevych's involvement in the Galicia-Volhynia massacres, which targeted tens of thousands of Polish civilians, remains a point of debate. Historian Rudling has criticized the downplaying of his actions by the Ukrainian diaspora and academics. Edmonton's Shukhevych statue has ignited WWII-Nazi controversy. Vandalized in 2019 ('Nazi scum') and 2021 ('Actual Nazi'), the statue's contested history lies in its collaboration connections. The Ukrainian Youth Association has dismissed these claims, while journalist Duncan Kinney faced charges related to the vandalism in October '22.''
