This info was comment was on another post that may clarify the Russian Nazi issue:
“According to the BND, neo-Nazi groups are fighting on the Russian side Analysts: Cooperation reduces “alleged reason for war” of denazification of Ukraine to absurdity.
Numerous Russian right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis have apparently joined Russia’s attack on Ukraine. This emerges from a confidential report by the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), as reported by “Spiegel”. According to the seven-page document, the Russian Imperial League (RIL) and the Rusich group are “at least two right-wing extremist groups” fighting the Ukrainian army.
In addition, Moscow is using at least one right-wing extremist “individual for its own purposes,” according to the confidential paper. Cooperation with these groups “reduces ad absurdum the alleged reason for war, the so-called ‘denazification’ of Ukraine,” write the analysts.”
