Putin has justified his attack on Ukraine with, among other things, his long-standing claim that the government in Kyiv is led by Nazis and supporters of nationalist leader and Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. Although this propaganda is primarily aimed at domestic audiences, it has also had an impact in Germany, where knowledge of Ukraine's past and present is limited: the "Holocaust by bullets" in the occupied Soviet territories has only recently come to the attention of a wider public, and as has now become clear, Ukrainian history as a whole represents terra incognita even for many historians of Eastern Europe.
