The next time you read about “#Ukraine nationalists” vandalising some symbols or monuments, just keep in mind these recent cases:
Wrocław, Poland, 2024 - “Glory to UPA” spray inscription - except no Ukrainian would write it with Latin “Y” - correct letters are “СЛАВА УПА”. Ukrainian У is similar, but it’s different character which probably confused the provocator.
Vienna, Austria, 2016 - “WOLYN 1943” spray painted on a monument to Cossacks who defended Vienna in 1863. No Pole would use Latin “L” in the word “WOLYN”, which is correctly written as “WOŁYŃ”, which reveals a foreigner.
Bykovnia, Ukraine, 2017 - “SS Galizien” painted on a monument in memory of Polish victims of NKVD executions. It’s a crazy mix of scripts which I will try to emulate here: “SS ГАЛNЧNНA” - whoever wrote it mistaken Ukrainian И (I) with Latin N. In Latin it reads “SS GALNCHNNA”.
