What exactly is the "Ukrainian neo-nazi problem"?

• emchammer 3y ago
  Putin uses this term to refer an amalgamation of history concerning Russian territory, with an axis roughly going through a 1654 peace treaty, and capped by the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. The latter was signed only a week before Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Russians harbor their own type of bitterness about the 1920s-1940s National Socialists which is not well-reflected in the Western/American/Jewish perspective. If you move past the embarassment of Tucker Carlson's "Why is history relevant?", Putin makes a certain case, if propagandized, from a long-term Russian perspective. It is worthwhile to look up all the events he cites. https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/tucker-carlson-interviews-vladimir-putin-transcript https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/tucker-carlson-intervie...

    Putin conveniently forgets that the USSR was the other side of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. The USSR invaded Poland two weeks after the Germans did. Google the Ukraine Nazi problem and there are good sources debunking this nonsense. And by the way, Putin lies through his teeth anyway. He said before the invasion of Ukraine that it is not going to happen. Google that too.

  A mild annoyance within Ukrainian politics. But in reality, bearing no connection to the problem that Putin makes it out to be. A bogeyman basically. Per the Wikipedia definition: The bogeyman (/ˈboʊɡimæn/; also spelled or known as bogyman, bogy, bogey, and, in North American English, also boogeyman)[1] is a mythical creature used by adults to frighten children into good behaviour.
