Average Russian is a simple guy. When he sees SS emblem who were known to kill his relatives 80 years ago, he does not give a benefit of doubt. He just recognises fascists and acts accordingly. I understand that civilised Europeans can see it as a little national colourite of a newfounded Ukrainian nation. Russians are not very inclusive in that regard.

So ... the average Russian is now going to kill Putin because his Wagner-buddy is a Neo-Nazi and so are (at least some of) his troops? I won't hold my breath, but good luck. https://en.respublica.lt/signs-of-neo-nazi-ideology-amongst-russian-mercenaries https://en.respublica.lt/signs-of-neo-nazi-ideology-amongst-...

- luckylion 4y agoWhat? Wagner PMC "might be another Ukrainian myth"? So immediately after the 2014 invasion, they've started to create this giant myth that doesn't exist but is seen fighting wherever Russia fights, just not in Russian uniforms, complete with recruitment talks and all that? What's next, Russia doesn't even exist and is just a myth invented by the US military-industrial complex to justify defense spending?
