According to Soviet intelligence, in the early 1930’s. Evgeny Konovalets twice personally met with Hitler, who, in particular, proposed to send a group of Ukrainian nationalists to study at the Nazi party school in Leipzig. According to the Polish statement, the first such meeting took place even before the arrival of the National Socialists to power - in September 1932. After the meeting with Hitler, Konovalets in his article “Hitler and Ukrainian Affairs”, published in the UV newspaper “On the guard”, called on Ukrainian nationalists “to become a dense Cossack system on the side of Hitler, which will create a gateway to the East”[1]

    All this historical revisionism is interesting. It was similar in Croatia. And after 2014 Crimea, Ukrainians really looked up to Croatian operation Oluja which similarly had nazi-collaboristic undertones. But no nazi policies were ever enacted, its just an echo from the past when nazis supported national-emancipists across eastern-central Europe.
