2:57Now PlayingWriter Stephen King called Stepan Bandera, a notorious N*zi collaborator "a great man," during a call with a Russian prankster pretending to be Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The fake Zelenksy said "So you know we have no Nazis. We have nationalists, Ukrainian nationalists... People who really love Ukraine. It’s not Nazis … of course they love some people like Bandera, our national hero, so what do you think about Bandera? He was in the second World War and he [fought] against the Soviet Union, but he had some crimes, but not so big crimes... crimes against Jews.” King responds, “You can always find things about people to pull them down. [George] Washington and [Thomas] Jefferson were slave owners — that doesn’t mean they didn’t do many good things to the United States of America. There are always people who have flaws, we are humans. On the whole, I think Bandera is a great man, and you’re a great man, and Viva Ukraine."
