A street video dispute on the legal status of Nazism and communism in Ukraine. The article uses only the legal segment: Ukrainian law (the 2015 decommunization laws) bans the symbols and ideology of both totalitarian regimes — Nazi and communist — because the Ukrainian people suffered from both. The polemical portions of the video about particular historical figures and the formation of consciousness were deliberately NOT used (the article’s subject is the level of the state, not individual personalities).
