Stephen King Pranked by Russians: Author Calls Ukrainian Nazi Collaborator a ‘Great Man’

“So, you know, on the whole, I think Bandera is a great man and you’re a great man and viva Ukraine!” King said.

Liberal book author Stephen King was recently pranked by a pair of Russians, who pretended to be Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky over the phone.

During the call, the two Russians managed to trick King into defending the infamous Ukrainian Holocaust figure Stepan Bandera, who the author described as a “great man” despite his mass executions of Jews and Poles during World War II.

“People who really love Ukraine, it’s not us. It’s Azov. They, of course, they love some people like [Stepan] Bandera, our national hero. So what do you think about Bandera?” the Russians asked King, imitating Zelensky’s voice.

“He was in the Second World War and he fought against the Soviet Union, but yeah. He had some crimes but it’s not some big crimes, it’s of course, accidentally, were crimes against Jews. But you know, it’s really important to keep him opposed to Putin and his propaganda,” they added.

King immediately defended Bandera by drawing comparisons to former Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who he noted owned slaves.

“Well yes, I mean there are always, you can always find things about people to pull them down. There’s Washington and Jefferson, were slave owners. That doesn’t mean that they didn’t do many good things for the United States of America,” King said.

“There are always people who have flaws, we’re human. You know, there are things that we do that are bad choices, and then there are things that we do that are great choices,” he said.

King then celebrated the legacy of the Holocaust-era Jew killer and referred to him as a “great man.”

“So, you know, on the whole, I think Bandera is a great man and you’re a great man and viva Ukraine!” King said.

Bandera remains a controversial figure in Ukrainian politics, as many of the country’s far right militias, including the Azov Battalion, continue to venerate the mass murderer due to his opposition to the Soviet Union.

The Nazi collaborator ultimately managed to escape capture by the Soviets at the end of World War II, and lived in West Germany until he was executed by KGB assassins in 1959.

    Stephen King has written a pile of popular garbage, but in no way is he to be considered a significant thinker. He is careless in clarifying his sources, and this is just another example.

    There is no comparison to 2 men who freed their slaves with a man who murdered Jews. They inherited their slaves, the Ukranian didn’t inhert those Jews.
