THREAD There are many proofs that modern Russia is a fascist state, from a view of political scientist. But let us look today at some visual details which can be found at least tasteless. Russia utilises a lot of Nazi propaganda images today. Look at this anti-Ukrainian poster /1

The modern Russian poster "Our brotherhood is stronger than (their) lie" is copies a Nazi poster from early 1930s, calling to vote for the National-Socialist Workers' Party. Instead of France and Jews, who are opposing the German worker, Ukrainian Jews are "threatening" Donbas /2

Is this usage of a Nazi image an exemption? One can clear see: the designer new what poster he uses, as a lot of details needed to be re-designed. Well, no coincidence here. Russia LOVES Nazi propaganda. Look at this pic of Russian Social Security web-page and a Nazi poster: /3

The usage of a Nazi family poster by a Russian official authority has happened in 2007, years before the Donbas war and even before the invasion to Georgia by Russian army:

Russian designers love to be inspired by the Nazis. In 2005, in Petersburg, RU vodka producer 'Kristall" has got a grand-prix for a design of its Vodka 'Civil Defense': "for the highest level of Russian national art style". But they copied a Nazi poster: sova-center.ru/hate-speech/ne

Is it only about the posters? No, it is also about the ideas. Russian nuclear submarine "Polyarniye Zori" has chosen as its slogan "My honour is called loyalty" - the official slogan of SS, usage of it is a crime in Germany. A Rosgvardiya special unit Vyatich did the same:

I already explained, how openly Nazi politicians who used swastikas as their symbols are the members of Putin's government. Read this thread to understand that Russians do not see anything bad in Nazism itself, just want to use its "power" as a "trophy":

The trick is, that Rogozin was always a pure, crystal-clear Nazi. Not a "far right", not a "radical", but a Russian Nazi. And not, this was not "sins of the youth". Hear a very adult Rogozin holds a speech in Moscow center under a Swastika banner of RNE, Russian National Unity /2

It does not go all the time very openly, as they love to play at the border, pretending they "didn't mean anything like that". Compare: in 2013, in Yaroslavl Russian police used to print "numbers" on its helmets which resemble SS runes, but continued to say it were "just numbers"

Sure, on the battlefield it goes way more open. Look at Anton Rayevsky, a Russian soldier who was a part of RU terror unit in Odesa on May 2nd 2014, and later fought in Donbas against Ukraine. The slogan on his IFV says "To Kyiv!". He was a deputy candidate of LDPR party later:

Or here: Alexey Milchakov, a Russian soldier who fought in Ukraine in a Nazi unit "Rusich". Look also at "Rusich" emblems, which clearly play with Swastika and "Sieg-Rune" motives:

It should not be a surprise that Russians support Nazism. One of the ideologists of modern Russian confrontation with the West, Maxim Kalashnikov, clearly said, that Russia needs "Russian National Socialism". Kalashnikov was welcomed by president Medvedev:

(THREAD) Russian RIA propaganda agency posts today a huge article about "new tectonic changes" in the world politics and celebrates "Forward, to the USSR!" idea. This is a pure repetition of "Russian National Socialism" ideas by a neonazi guru Maxim Kalashnikov. Let me explain.

It is actually astonishing that they decided for such an obvious copy in terms of character design. Also if you look at modern Russian culture and it's view of Ukrainians you will some similarities with German views on Jews in post WW1 era

I used to hope that similar copied symbolism is a silent protest from the artist but hearing putler speak about "Ukrainian question" I think the decision comes from the top and they are trying to mock the free world as in "we conquered Berlin and will do whatever we want"

So, you think all of them Victory Frenzy posters with Nazi soldiers are no mere laziness? Note the exhibit 3 here, its my favourite - it has the guy from "Hans, get the flammenwerfer" meme.
