It was a genuine question believe it or not. And “yes” would have been sufficient.

    The low number of openly fascist parliamentarians in Ukraine is often explained by the crypto-fascist stances of other political parties: glorification of past fascists, racism, ultranationalism, xenophobia…

    And Lavrov says Zelensky is a pure Nazi, despite the former being a Jew. Should we believe him?

    Or should we take Russian narratives about Ukraine being full of Nazis with a pinch of salt?

      There were plenty of Jewish Nazis collaborators, just as there were Black people that helped slave owners, colonized subjects who worked for their colonizers, women who work for misogynists. Zelensky knows if he doesn’t work with the Nazis they will kill him and he likes his head on his shoulders.

      It’s not (only) a Russian narrative, is a narrative shared by a lot of journalists specialized in fascism.
