Nazi vatniks: The ambiguous relationship of the Kremlin with Nazism
The ambiguous relationship of the Kremlin with Nazism and why so many vatniks can be outright nazis or promote or excuse nazis while at the same time being so hysterical about alleged “Nazis in Ukraine”.
Russian anti-Nazism is narrowly focused on the Nazi betrayal. Otherwise, they seem perfectly fine with Nazism. Nazis are great when they serve to help or justify Russia’s own genocidal invasions, and they only become villains when they turn on Russia.
