Trying to talk a comrade i know out of using a red on black horizontal bar in a design, and they told me its also the flag of Angola and to not worry about it. 😮💨
I guess I should have made the point about how many Ukranian community centres there are where we live
red on black is also the inverted colours of the Indigenous flag, which I felt extra ick about
these things are all meaningless when taken out of context but like, coconut trees and etc
a flag previously used by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the Bandera wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), and now used by various Ukrainian nationalist organizations and parties, including UNA-UNSO, Right Sector, Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists and others.
In Poland, the red-and-black flag is widely associated with the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, during which between 60,000 and 120,000 Poles were murdered by the UPA.
