Despite Russia framing its actions in Ukraine as a 'Special Military Operation' for de-Nazification, President Putin's propaganda alleges Ukrainian genocide against Russian speakers and links the Ukrainian government to neo-Nazis

A Ukrainian soldier named Serhiy, returning from Russian captivity, has reportedly been found mutilated with swastikas carved into his forehead, as disclosed by Dr. Olexandr Turkevich, who is treating him.

The soldier, blindfolded during the ordeal, claimed Russian soldiers threatened to dismember him, citing accusations of fascism.

    When Lithuanians tell them to go to Russia if they love it so much, they get really quiet though.

    Thanks. I think they need to be reminded of that more frequently.

    The Russians from Russia who afford to travel are also notorious for being annoying and disrespectful tourists throughout Southeast Asia and various other places. Even in online games they stick to each other instead of playing with people from various countries.

    Yes. I’m not sure what can be done about this though, except proper education.

    I disagree about the Russians in Russia, I think the blame is on Russians, they are the ones who have kept Putin in power for so long.

    I could agree but this is different from the imperialism in my book. At least one big reason for that happening is how well constructed the state propaganda was from the very beginning. It’s like most actors are acting out of fear mostly, while not really being obligated to follow the narrative. And the education problem, of course.
