Before President Yanukovich was even ousted, some NPR reporter was interviewing Western Ukrainians in one of the smaller cities near Kiev. She talked to one man who wouldn't give his actual name. He called himself, "Bandera's nephew." His tone was that of someone boasting about a matter of considerable pride.

The reporter's translator then explained that Bandera's nephew is how many ultra-nationalist and radical right-wing party members like to refer to themselves.
