I'm not sure I follow all the information you have given, but it is interesting and led me down a few rabbit holes of reading.
The famine is an interesting one, your first article seems to cast doubt on it, but later on you mention a journalist who risked his career to report it. In any case, the famine is historical fact, though both the US and Russia did try to dispute it.
You mentioned the allegations of genocide in Donbas which appear to have been false allegations, I cannot find any reputable sources that the Azov brigade did anything of the sort.
The article mentioning Stepan Bandera is interesting, it seems he was another figure "seen as a symbol of a revolutionary who fought for Ukrainian independence." Though he had facist beliefs, at the time, I can see an impoverished people (and their later descendants) clinging on to any symbol of hope.
The information about Lebed and his later contributions to the Prologue Research and Publishing Association.
I admit I am not 100% sure where you were going with all this information, but it made for an interesting read with my morning coffee! <3
