Russia has more neo-Nazi’s than anywhere else in the world

“Russia is the world’s breeding ground for neo-Nazi culture.”-eupoliticalreport.eu. 4/22.

When Putin became Russia’s President in 2000, ”Russia was shaken by a wave of racist violence committed by neo-Nazi skinhead gangs. After Putin’s accession to the Presidency in 2000, his regime exploited this development…”

The Kremlin launched ”managed nationalism,” an attempt to co-opt and mobilize radical national militants, including neo-Nazi’s, as a counterweight to an emerging anti-Putin coalition of Democrats and leftist radicals.”…also, ”as a part of its preparations to confront a potential democratic uprising in Russia,” Russia enlisted football gang members, whose subculture overlapped with the neo-Nazi underground.”…these thugs ”staged a series of raids on anti-Putin youth groups.”

While Putin distanced himself, the football gangs, the nationalist ”Young Russians” and the anti-immigration “Locals” groups, all became an arm of the Putin regime; all included neo-Nazi subculture within their groups.

In 2014, Putin’s neo-Nazi’s terrorized supporters of the Ukranian state in Donetsk…blaming Ukranian false flag operations for atrocities committed by Russian forces.”

Putin’s weaponization of neo-Nazi’s was always a risky strategy, but it was not irrational. Unlike mainstream nationalists, who tend to support the idea of free elections, neo-Nazi’s reject democratic institutions and the very idea of human equality. For a dictator dismantling democracy and constructing an authoritarian regime, they were ideal accomplices.”-latrobe.edu.au. 3/22.

Conclusion: So, ”why does Russian propaganda massively and indiscriminately brand all Ukranians as Nazi’s ? First of all, its about dehumanizing the nation in the eyes of the Russians. The Kremlin needs to give them something that will make Russians hate Ukrainians and justify in their eyes the atrocities committed against Ukranians by the Russian military, the annihilation of Ukranian cities. How could this be done? It turned out to be that simple: to an average Russian, who has been under the harsh influence of the Kremlin’s propaganda machine for years, its enough to say: ”You know what? They are all Nazi’s there; we shouldn’t feel sorry for them, it’s okay to kill them all !” Which is what the Russian forces are doing.”-eupoliticalreport.eu. 4/22. / Done
