I've also seen pictures of people waving the red and black UPA flag at North American protests, which is pretty insane. They were a fascist insurgent army that was responsible for the deaths of a huge number of Polish people through ethnic cleansing during WWII and they played a role in assisting the Germans in the Holocaust.

Resurgent ethnic nationalism is a major problem all over Europe, and has been for twenty years. Russia, who may have some of the worst problems, invading Ukraine in the name of preventing fascism is comical though.
