Only open antisemitism seems to be missing currently (though i'm not a Jew and can't really comment how being a Jew may feel these days in Russia) even though "global Zionism" as an enemy is present as undercurrent in the Great Russia myth, the anti-communism is definitely there, and racism and eugenics is a bit in the background and not declared clearly under those names (as the names carry baggage).
Those specifics aren't core to nazism. The principles behind those are core. I.e. instead of antisemitism there may be hate to some other ethnicity for example.
I.e. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism
"Nazism is a form of fascism,[2][3][4][5] with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. "
That "disdain" is 110%, a core thing of the current Russian Fascism and you can just s/German/Russia/g below (from the same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism )
"Its extreme nationalism originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist neopagan Völkisch movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century"
There is also motif of WWI defeat which in modern Russia is USSR collapse as a defeat in Cold War.
- boringg 5y agoThis sucks that we are debating how shirty the situation is in ukraine. It is terrible, non starter. Unless I'm very misinformed I dont see any eugenics or antisemtism which are core to nazism. The words being used to describe this (genocide and nazisim) devalue the historic weight of those powerful words.
