MPs from the European Solidarity faction Aleksey Goncharenko and Vladimir Viatrovich rendered the song “Prapore Nash” (Our flag – Ed.) – the anthem of the nationalist organization “Forest Devils” of the “Plast” division – on the air of Channel 5.

Viatrovich, who offered to perform a song in which Satan and devils are mentioned, calls it "a popular insurgent song of the UPA."

The "Prapore Nash" song, which mentions devils, Satan and Lucifer, was written on the occasion of the dedication of the flag of the 3rd kuren of ASD’s "Forest Devils" in Lviv in 1929.

As reported by the UOJ, "Forest Devils" is one of the main divisions of "Plast", which was created in 1922. Reportedly, their goal is to work "for the benefit and glory of Ukraine, Ukrainian Plast and their Great Tribe". The division has outspoken satanic symbolism, while the text of its hymn refers to hell, Lucifer and demons in a positive sense. The “Devils'” flag was consecrated by Andrey Sheptytsky in the Lviv Cathedral of St. Yura.
