A Startling Admission
The study was meant to debunk "Russian disinformation" by testing how the Ukrainian public perceives certain claims, including the presence of Nazi ideology in Ukraine. But instead of proving such claims to be "false," the survey found that a significant portion of the Ukrainian population itself believes that Nazism is a real and widespread issue in their country.

Problem you have is that there is nothing out there to prove that Trump is a racist. However, there is plenty of proof that Ukraine has a large amount of nazis.
Sorry, you lose on both. You lose because you lowered yourself to using Trump to make your cheesy point by linking to The Hill.
You also lose because there are many nazis in Ukraine.

Modern day kapos
“Well that Nazi is ok”
Yes Russia has nationalist elements that are fascist k
But the Ukes win
Romania close second?
People objected to the Azov Nazis, so Zelensky incorporated them into the Ukrainian National Guard. Now, “Nazi’s? Where?”
What a fantastic find! Thank you for posting it. This kind of documentation with dates, locations etc. beats all the generic, angry denials with ease.

This article drives zeepers crazy. In fact, any mention of the love affair between Ukrainians and nazism drives them crazy.
They’ve had it removed several times by a sympathetic mod.
Just one trip to Ukraine proves they have a Neo Nazi problem, Bandera statues everywhere, streets named after Bandera, who is kidding who?
One of Vlad’s goals is stated as to eradicate the Neo Nazis, it will have to be accomplished most likely by Rada ( Congress) legislation.
I get what you’re trying to say.
Yes, the chart can be confusing.
However, the article goes on to explain the results, assuming the author of the article for it right, it’s 33% rural, and 57% urban that see a problem.

Q: Why does Putin think it makes any sense to call Ukrainian leaders Nazis, especially when President Zelensky is Jewish?
Dr. Fishman: “This propaganda is an attempt to delegitimize Ukraine in the eyes of the Russian public, which considers its war against Nazi Germany its greatest moment, and in eyes of the Western publics who may not know much about Ukraine except that it’s next to Russia.”
Q: But why call them Nazis, aside from that being the worst accusation one can make?
“This propaganda isn’t new. Russia has for years highlighted the activity of a marginal group of Ukrainian ultra-nationalists as a way of trying to stigmatize all of Ukraine. Yes, some members of these ultra-nationalist groups have used Nazi insignia, made Hitler salutes, and used antisemitic rhetoric, but they are politically insignificant and in no way representative of Ukraine. The political parties which the ultra-nationalists support received just over 2 percent of the vote in the 2019 elections. Ukraine is a flawed democracy, but unquestionably a democracy, and in no way a Nazi regime.”
Q: But we’ve seen torchlit marches in the middle of Kyiv with the red and black flags of UPA (the WWII-era Ukrainian Insurgent Army) and pictures of Stepan Bandera, who allied with the Nazis during WWII. Isn’t that evidence of Nazism in Ukraine?
“For Ukrainian nationalists, UPA and Bandera are symbols of the Ukrainian fight for Ukrainian independence. The UPA allied with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union for tactical – not ideological – reasons. For Jews, however, not only is allying with the Nazis unforgivable under any circumstance, but historians have documented that Ukrainian nationalists participated together with Germans in the murder of many thousands of Jews in Ukraine.
“We should also not forget that 10 million Ukrainians fought in the Red Army against Nazi Germany and 1.5 million Ukrainians died in combat. The number of Ukrainians who fought the Nazis dwarfs the number who collaborated with them. When Ukrainian nationalists and Jews look at those red and black flags, we see two different things.”
Q: So you wouldn’t term as Nazis even those who march with the red and black flag?
“There are neo-Nazis in Ukraine, just as there are in the U.S., and in Russia for that matter. But they are a very marginal group with no political influence and who don’t attack Jews or Jewish institutions in Ukraine. Putin’s propaganda is so far from the truth that it doesn’t survive the first contact with even a little knowledge
Your pro-Russia fake propaganda is pathetic.
How close are Russian far-right figures to true Nazism?
The Kremlin’s favourite argument for the Western audience, besides blaming the US for Russia’s invasion, revolves around the alleged “Ukrainian Nazis” that are pulling all the strings in Kyiv.
It’s not that Ukraine doesn’t have its share of far-right supporters. It’s the fact that the far right has a negligible influence on Ukraine’s political scene.
Russia, on the other hand, has nurtured imperialist far-right ideas for decades. Growingly, these feature all the textbook signs of Nazism — the disdain for liberal democracy, the outright hatred of others, scientific racism, and calls for the eradication of entire groups in particular.
In some, far-right ideas in Russia are a mixture of Nazism and Stalinism, as witnessed in former Duma member Zakhar Prilepin’s National-Bolsheviks.
Others only thinly veil their extremism in traditional Orthodox Russian imperialism, exemplified by the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) leadership and former paramilitary commander Igor Strelkov aka Girkin.
Neo-Nazism and Racist Violence in Russia
Within Russia there are neo-Nazi political parties such as the unregistered Russian
National Unity that advocate anti-Semitism (SOVA, 2006a) as well as the Liberal
Democratic Party led by Vladimir Zhirinovsky’s who is known for his fierce nationalism
and anti-Semitic views. Large scale anti-Semitic action was demonstrated in Russia
and pushed into politics with the ‘Letter of 500’. A radical nationalist had interpreted
the book Kitsur Shulkhan Arukh to be in violation to an anti-extremist law and appealed
to the Prosecutor General to consider all Jewish organisations as extremist. In 2004 a
signature collection was initiated and by 2005 it had reached 15,000 signatures
including 19 members of the State Duma, 14 from the Rodina Party and 5 from the
Communist Party. The campaign and publicity surrounding the ‘Letter of 500’ resulted
in a growth of the relevance of anti-Semitism for extremist groups such as neo-Nazis
(SOVA, 2006a).

And Zelensky is not a devout, practicing or believing Jew, so big deal. But he is a prancing high hell wearing lying grifter tyrant with a lot of blood on his hands.
