It is estimated that over 150,000 Ukrainian partisans died during the war. Some partisan units were implicated in anti-Semitic activity and the ethnic cleansing of Poles from Ukrainian territory. Over 300,000 fighters served in Ukrainian partisan groups during the war, and they engaged in campaigns against the Germans, Soviet forces and also Polish forces. Often referred to under the collective title of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, there was an array of partisan groups, many emerging from Ukrainian nationalist political movements. During the Second World War, there was a significant partisan movement in Ukraine. What is certain is that the spirit of resistance is deeply encoded in the Ukrainian DNA. Whether the current generation of Ukrainian fighters are indeed being inspired by a nearly 40-year-old movie is debatable.

From current-day Ukraine, we are seeing photographs of knocked-out Russian tanks and vehicles with the word "Wolverines" daubed on them in white letters, seemingly an example of popular culture being brought to the contemporary battlefield. In the canon of 1980s scare movies, it still has much to offer. Some readers may remember this classic B-Movie in which a motley crew of teenagers, who named themselves the Wolverines after their high school mascot, engaged in a resistance movement against a Russian invasion of the United States. Within this, there has been photographic evidence (difficult to confirm) that some of the Ukrainian resistance have found inspiration in the 1984 movie Red Dawn.
In recent weeks, there have been numerous signs that there is a growing resistance movement emerging in Ukraine as a response to the ongoing Russian invasion.
Analysis: it's clear that civilian resistance has proven to be of huge assistance to Ukrainian military forces in the war against Russia
