The rally was organized to mark the birth anniversary of Stepan Bandera, founder of a rebel army that fought against the Soviet regime and who was assassinated in Germany in 1959.
The Wednesday march in Kyiv by about 1,000 far-right supporters commemorated the 111th birthday of Stepan Bandera, lauded by nationalists as a hero. Bandera was a leader of Ukraine's nationalist movement, which included an insurgent army that for one period during the war sided with the Nazis. Jewish groups have linked Bandera's followers to the mass murders of Jews. Ukrainian Police said the march ended peacefully and there were no arrests.
