-The vilification of Stepan Bandera and the UPA, followed by his reactionary growth as a National Hero, grew out of 20 year of active measures by the Government of Russia to paint Ukrainian Nationalists as Nazis and justify Russia's eventual invasion of Ukraine. Russia's efforts in the information space then created the Ukrainian response in developing Bandera as a hero and National symbol in Ukraine.Russia in turn used this growth as evidence of far-right Banderites spreading in Ukraine.+The vilification of Stepan Bandera and the UPA, followed by his reactionary growth as a National Hero, emerged out of 20 year of active measures by the Government of Russia to paint Ukrainian Nationalists as Nazis and justify Russia's eventual invasion of Ukraine.

 This pattern follows common Russian disinformation techniques of having friendly or compromised academics write a flurry of research, Then Russian backed media outlets in the West would cite the Academic work and encourage sprad in Western media. This begins by writing opinion pieces which then unwitting Western journalists use in reporting. This pattern follows common Russian disinformation techniques of having friendly or compromised academics write a flurry of research, Then Russian backed media outlets in the West would cite the Academic work and encourage sprad in Western media.

 rhizoanalysis provides us with a tool to examine the story of Stepan Bandera ad a  narrative  performance to understand the Affective intensities (Coleman, 2005) of Russian disinformation campaigns.  Russia created a series of Nazi narrative performances, not so much as plan, but a series of folding monads. Self contained lies which in turn had explict connections to other lies to create a new truth that did not exist before. An analysis of how these monads and lines of flight apply help us understand how Russia tries to cast Ukraine as a Nazi state through the narrative of Stepan Bandera. While Russian disinformation tries to establish relationships built through unpredictable texts movements Russia took advantage of places where hate thrives and community is cultivated. rhizoanalysis provides us with a tool to examine the story of Stepan Bandera ad a  narrative  performance to understand the Affective intensities (Coleman, 2005) of Russian disinformation campaigns.  Russia created a series of Nazi narrative performances, not so much as plan, but a series of folding monads.

-We also look to rhizoanalysis as we find the "space," rather than the individuals truth ,or even history, more as the variable of interest for our flights of inquiry. We do not seek to answer, "Was Stepan Bandera a Nazi?" but rather to utilize  rhizoanalysis  as a tool to understand how Russia manipulates the power behind not  “what is” but rather “what could be and could have been.” In other words, or research does not seek to understand the truth but more the textual moves Russia made to shape the folds of monads to their own desgin. +We also look to rhizoanalysis as we find the "space," rather than the individuals truth ,or even history, more as the variable of interest for our flights of inquiry.

 This focus on becoming rather than being is an essential rejection of representational logic (Leander & Rowe, 2006) and also a central reality necessary for studying the unreality that is Modern Russia. Using Deleuze and Guattari’s work on rhizomes allowed us to understand the non linear relationships and how they interact in the creation of false Nazi narratives in Ukraine.   This focus on becoming rather than being is an essential rejection of representational logic (Leander & Rowe, 2006) and also a central reality necessary for studying the unreality that is Modern Russia.
