Your response is one-sided and not historically accurate. Yes, there were Ukrainian Nazis, just like there were (and still are) American Nazis, British Nazis - in fact Nazis in most-all nations of Europe. That some Ukrainians fought against the Russians in the Second World War was because the Russians (who controlled the USSR) had caused the death (by starvation or murder) of approximately 5 million Ukrainians.[0] To many Ukrainians, the Russians were the enemy as much as the Nazis eventually become the enemy.
"With the outbreak of war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1941, many nationalists in Ukraine thought that they would have an opportunity to create an independent country once again. An entire Ukrainian volunteer division of the SS had been created. Many of the fighters who had originally looked to the Nazis as liberators, quickly became disillusioned and formed the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (Ukrainian: Українська Повстанська Армія), which waged military campaign against Germans and later Soviet forces as well against Polish civilians."[1]
