[WSMDiscuss] Invasion of Ukraine and Putin and His Nazi/Fascist Connections: A Useful Scan

[Sukla Sen]

The scan is useful in decoding Putin's declared goal of "denazification" of
Ukraine.

<<He [i.e. Putin] supports, for example: France’s National Rally, who used
to be known as the National Front; Germany’s neo-Nazi National Democratic
Party, whose early leaders were mostly former Nazi Party members, and whose
1940’s Nazi forerunners killed tens of millions of mostly Russian Soviet
citizens, most of them civilians, and deliberately starved to death
millions of mostly Russian Soviet prisoners of war; the Alternative for
Germany; and the Austrian Freedom Party, whose leaders have included former
members of the Waffen SS, who were of course heavily involved in killing
tens of millions of mostly Russian Soviet citizens.

Putin’s father, who was also called Vladimir, was a Soviet soldier who
fought against the Nazis, so I doubt that he would have been impressed by
his son’s cosying up to neo-Nazis, or by Putin’s admiration for the Russian
fascist writer Ivan Ilyin, who supported the Nazis until Hitler said that
the Slavs were an inferior race.
Ilyin also supported Mussolini.>>
