The tomb of the Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, who was murdered in Munich in 1959, has been desecrated in the forest cemetery, the police reported on Sunday. Graffiti was sprayed on the cross with blue and purple paint around eleven o’clock on Saturday. The graffiti show, among other things, an anarchy symbol and a swastika. The inscription on the base was also defaced.
The tomb, which is also considered a place of pilgrimage for Ukrainian nationalists, has been damaged several times in the past. Since then it has been monitored by the police. The grave light machine, which is directly opposite the grave, could possibly be helpful in the investigation work of the police thanks to a built-in camera. She spoke of the fact that the incident was now being “evaluated”.
