{{Box-round|title=Romaticizes UPA|titlebackground=#ffee00|border=#000000| This song romanticizes the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a Ukrainian paramilitary group tied to OUN-B during the Second World War. The history of the group is contested in popular memory. Some remember them positively as a force that fought for Ukraine’s independence at great personal cost. Others remember them as a radical right-wing group responsible for carrying out large-scale ethnic cleansing in the course of their efforts to establish an independent state. The history of the organization and that time period is painful, difficult, and complex. | {{Box-round|title=Romaticizes UPA|titlebackground=#ffee00|border=#000000| This song romanticizes the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a Ukrainian paramilitary group tied to OUN-B during the Second World War.

We don’t believe this song is so bad that it should never be sung, but we do ask that a more balanced history of the organization be taught and that our community remember that we could have been both the oppressed and the oppressors. | We don’t believe this song is so bad that it should never be sung, but we do ask that a more balanced history of the organization be taught and that our community remember that we could have been both the oppressed and the oppressors. | ||
