Banderaism

Banderaism refers to the ideological thought of Stepan Bandera and Ukrainian ultranationalism as a whole. The ideology stresses on the idea of the Ukrainian nation and its territorial sovereignty. Modern incarnations of Banderaism wish for Ukraine to be in a third position between Western Atlanticism and Russian Eurasianism, rejecting both in favor of a nationalistic Ukrainian state free from foreign influence. Banderaism historically called for the end to Zionism and the creation of Greater Ukraine, leading to the massacres of Poles in Volyhnia. Some adherents believe that the ancient Ukrainians created most of the modern European culture and civilization.

History
The UPA (Ukrainian Insurgency Army) was born in 1942, when   killed the  Ukrainian Nationalist Government. Their main goal was Ukrainian independence.

They fought against Nazis and their collaborators (Melnykists and SS Galizien),  Red Army, Soviet partisans, and Polish Home Army.

Despite the popular belief, supported by Poles and  Russians, UPA were not Nazi collaborators. Although a year before its formation, notable nationalist leaders did work with Nazis, hoping that they would give them independence, formed the Nachtigall and Roland battalions, both composed of mostly Ukrainians. On 30th June, 1941, Free Ukrainian State was proclaimed, but it didn't last long because German forces betrayed them, imprisoning most leaders and putting some of them in concentration camps, like Sachsenhausen.

Stepan Bandera's legacy is controversial. While glorified by Ukrainian nationalists as a founding father of the Ukrainian nation, he has also been denounced as a Nazi collaborator. Bandera's ultranationalism and its support in today's Ukraine has been used as an ideological pretext for the invasion of Ukraine, with "de-Nazification" becoming Russia's main casus belli in the international arena.

It is true that UPA was responsible for the 1943 massacres against the Poles in Volhynia and 'they don't deny that it happened.
