UPA is very controversial - it was responsible for mass murdering whole villages during WW2 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_... )

> The peak of the massacres took place in July and August 1943 when a senior UPA commander, Dmytro Klyachkivsky, ordered the liquidation of the entire male Polish population between 16 and 60 years of age.[7][8][9] Despite this, most of the victims were women and children.

That's one reason Poles (while we fully support independent democratic Ukraine and it's partnership with EU) feel very uncomfortable supporting people that call themselves UPA continuators. Ukrainians have the right to choose their heroes, and Poles want Ukraine to be independent (geopoliticaly we like the fact that we have very small border Russia very much, also Ukrainians have similiar culture and language). But if they want people to support them fully they could do well abandoning the UPA symoblism.

Yeah, building a new state on an old hatred doesn't usually end well.
