Most of Western “nazi” Ukraine only came together with the rest of Russian/Soviet Ukraine in 1939. From the late middle ages until 1939 they had been ruled by first Poland/Lithuania and Hungary,then by Austria,then by Austria-Hungary,and then back again by Poland. Hundreds of years under Western rule of one kind or another. Then from 1941-1944 the German nazis controlled it,and a hundred thousand or more people there sided with the nazis and butchered Poles,Jews,and Russians throughout those years. The Soviets really made a horrible job when they gained regained it to de-nazify the region. They fought years of terrorist battles there and finally decided to amnesty their way to peace. We see today the results of that failure.
