Slava Ukraini
Glory to Ukraine (Ukrainian: Слава Україні! Героям слава!, Slava Ukrayini! Heroyam slava!; translated as: Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!) is a Ukrainian greeting and slogan of Ukrainian Nationalists.
"Glory to Ukraine" first appeared in Ukrainian War of Independence, second part of greeting was commonly used in Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
Recently, the slogan also became popular as a refreshing exclamation during mass sporting events - especially in the western and central Ukraine.[5] Widely used in Ukraine in the years 2013-2014 during Euromaidan.[6]
It is the Ukrainian counterpart to the Croatian salute Za dom spremni and to the Nazi German salute Heil Hitler - Sieg heil.
Pro-Russians commonly parody it is Сало уронили! Хероям сала!, which translates to Fat has been dropped! Fat to the heroes!.
