Few Ukrainians joined Nazi, few Jews joined Nazi, whole 3 million Russian Army joined Nazi. :-/

  This is a hornet nest. I once read this from Alain Badiou: "This separatism at certain moments reached extremes that no one could forget, particularly not the Russian people, knowing that the vast mass of the Nazi-armed and organised armies coming from Russian territory were Ukrainian. The Vlasov army was a Ukrainian army. Today we can even read the history of Ukrainians turning entire villages to blood and fire, including French ones. A good part of the repression of the maquis in central France was carried out by Ukrainians. " Wikimedia presents Vaslov's army as Russian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Liberation_Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Liberation_Army But Wikipedia about Vlasov (SS Division here): "He (Himmler) oversaw the creation of the SS-Volunteer Division "Galicia" in October 1943 from Ukrainian volunteers, but that same month he said that Vlasov made him "genuinely anxious." https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/1569-a-present-defaults-unless-the-crowd-declares-itself-alain-badiou-on-ukraine-egypt-and-finitude https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/1569-a-present-default... https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/1569-a-present-defaults-unless-the-crowd-declares-itself-alain-badiou-on-ukraine-egypt-and-finitude https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/1569-a-present-default... --- Badiou is a strange guy but I trust him. In general, I have the impression that the historiography of the Nazi collobaration in Central Europe has been politically influenced in recent years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Vlasov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Vlasov
