À Ivano-Frankivsk (ex-Stanisławów, en Galicie), les réfugiés du Donbas sont accueillis par une organisation promouvant l’identité ukrainienne et une partie d’entre eux logés à l’hôtel Banderstadt (soit : la ville de (Stepan) #Bandera…)
Western Ukraine’s Banderstadt shelters eastern Ukraine’s refugees

IVANO-FRANKIVSK, Ukraine — It’s probably not deliberately ironic that refugees from predominantly Russian-speaking east Ukraine, arriving in Ivano-Frankivsk, are directed straight to the headquarters of Osvita, an organisation promoting Ukrainian language and culture.
(…)
When Tanya arrives, she is at once offered a food package and up to two week’s free stay in the Banderstadt hotel.
The name Banderstadt comes from controversial Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, who lived from 1909-1959, when a KGB agent murdered him in Munich, Germany.
Bandera’s followers are called “Banderites,” a term used by Russian media to demonize western Ukrainians as extreme nationalists and fascists bent on wiping out the Russian people and language in the south and east of the country. It is one more of the Ukraine conflict’s many ironies that Ivano-Frankivsk’s Banderstadt now provides shelter for dozens of families fleeing violence inspired by the alleged ‘Banderite’ threat.
