Lost in Translation: A Riddle

I was reading an article in Spanish and thought I was having hallucinations when the article informed me that there was a struggle among political parties on the entire territory of Soviet Ukraine during WWII. Then I realized that the author must be a great fan of Google Translate.

Who can guess, what was there instead of a struggle among political parties that the article’s author translated so hilariously?

[No parties were allowed to exist in the USSR except for the Communist Party.]

  1. Political adversaries – communism vs fascism?

    Political blocs – the Allies vs the Axis powers?

    Must be one of those two.

    I think I have part of it (though it implies a weird subject for you to be chosen as a reviewer) but I’ll wait for someone else to put it together.
