Those don’t entirely impress me. I believe that they are real. But I think it’s the same dynamic behind the Ukrainian neo-Nazi armies, which are probably much less typical of Ukraine, but which are also real:
“Back in the Soviet Union, we Russians were united together. We were strong, and we kicked the shit out of these Ukrainians. And they feared us. I want to be united again with my Russian family, I want to be strong. I want to kick the shit out of these Ukrainians. I want them to fear us. Let’s live once more the glories of the Soviet Union!”
We should take up the issue of “neo-Naziism” in Ukraine, with its president, who is a Jew and descendent of those who perished in concentration camps. / sarc
