10 million people died in Genrikh Yagoda's torture chambers. Another 5 million starved to death in the holodomor.
Hitler was bad, sure, but only a third as bad as the Bolsheviks. And about half of those 15 million deaths happened in Ukraine, and Bandera's fiduciary duty was to fellow Ukrainians, not to some foreign nation. If you had to pick a side (and Bandera did) it was best to go with Hitler.

These are some wildly inflated numbers you're posting here. Total estimates for the number of persons killed in pre-war political repressions in the USSR top out at 1 million or so. I'm not sure what Ukraine's exact number is, but (in asserting that it was "about half" of 10M) you're easily inflating the true number by a factor of at least 10x here. Likely closer to 20x.
Why are you doing this?

There were 20 million+ excess deaths, of which 10 million are commonly attributed to Yagoda:

Maybe you disagree with these numbers, but they're the ones I know of.

Including allowing the Germans to run the Final Solution on your territory.
And please, don't tell us he didn't know what was in store for Ukraine's Jewish population. By the late 1930s, everyone knew what was up.
You're really very naive with these justifications you're making here. Like Bandera himself.
