Only if you don't click on the "Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists". Here you are:

"The OUN intended to create a Ukrainian state with widely understood Ukrainian territories, but inhabited by Ukrainian people narrowly understood, according to Timothy Snyder. Its first congress in 1929 resolved that "Only the complete removal of all occupiers from Ukrainian lands will allow for the general development of the Ukrainian Nation within its own state." OUN's "Ten Commandments" stated "Aspire to expand the strength, riches, and size of the Ukrainian State even by means of enslaving foreigners", or "Thou shalt struggle for the glory, greatness, power, and space of the Ukrainian state by enslaving the strangers"."[0]

And then some action:

"The massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia were carried out in German-occupied Poland by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), with the support of parts of the local Ukrainian population, against the Polish minority in Volhynia, Eastern Galicia, parts of Polesia, and the Lublin region from 1943 to 1945. The UPA's actions resulted in up to 100,000 Polish deaths.

The peak of the massacres took place in July and August 1943. These killings were exceptionally brutal, and most of the victims were women and children. Other victims of the massacres included several hundred Armenians, Jews, Russians, Czechs, Georgians, and Ukrainians who were part of Polish families or opposed the UPA and impeded the massacres by hiding Polish escapees"[1]

>for a phrase that dates back a 100 years before WW2

Yeah, and then you use it to greet each other while genociding non-Ukrainians and smear it forever.

Swastika dates back much further, but today it tells you quite a lot about Ukrainian "heroes" with such tattoos:

"Des saluts nazis, des croix gammées, des emblèmes de la SS… La cellule d’enquête vidéo du Monde en a identifié plusieurs centaines, arborés par des centaines de soldats ukrainiens sur les réseaux sociaux. Parmi les 350 soldats repérés, 200 membres de la 3e brigade d’assaut, l’une des unités fer de lance de l’armée ukrainienne."[2]

>such an educated, so organised rural youth

And the point is? Nazis were educated and organized too. One even sent Americans to the moon some time later.
