Before that, they had recently voted in Zelenskyy as President, who's Jewish.
Also, just to show that this isn't only a Ukraine problem, Romania's Antonescu took up a major role in the Holocaust, but was nevertheless revered as a "freedom fighter" by many Romanians until they were forced to grapple with the man's actions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Antonescu#Legacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Antonescu#Legacy - The man is no longer honoured by Romanians.
It turns out that "freedom fighters" were sometimes complicated or very bad people. Unfortunately, people want their history to be clean and simple, and they choose to forget the ugly bits. They want their heroes to be pure. The Russians are as guilty of this as the Ukrainians and Romanians. Like the Romanians, the Ukrainians have slowly woken up to the magnitude of the crimes committed by their hero Stepan Bandera. I don't think they'll be honouring him anymore.
