        Just checked how Wikipedia is doing with its summary of the phrase:

        From the 1930s it was used by different Ukrainian groups, as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities in the West during the Cold War.

        That’s… certainly a sentence.

          Oh my god:

          In the Soviet Union, the slogan “Slava Ukraini!” was forbidden and discredited via a decades-long propaganda campaign alongside the diaspora Ukrainian nationalists who used it.[9][6] They were dubbed “Ukrainian bourgeois nationalists”, “Banderites”, and “Nazi henchmen” by Soviet authorities.[9]

          In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the slogan began to be heard at rallies and demonstrations.[6] After Ukraine declared independence in 1991, the phrase “Glory to Ukraine” became a common patriotic slogan.[citation needed] In 1995, President of the United States Bill Clinton used the phrase in a speech in Kyiv[10] (together with “God bless America”).[11]
