"Only" ~15M of these handed out by the USSR for participation in the Great Patriotic War (aka WW2).

Man, Ukrops propaganda sucks. They hate the Saint George Ribbon because it marked the defeat of their big brother Hitler .

Here is a reasonable article about Russian Nazi involvement in conflict: http://newslanc.com/tsukerman-russian-nazi-volunteers-in-donbas/ - Hero of Novorossiya Milchakov is a card carrying Nazi.

This is basically Field's blog.

Fields also spends his fortune to publish this anti-Orban pro-EUrocrat rag:

He's clearly an Atlanticist/Neoliberal as are the peeps that write for his personal mag.

This "Combat Brotherhood" maybe ultra nationalist, but they sure as shit ain't Nazis. Given they're posing under a WW2 Soviet Victory Flag.

Or because Russians attacked Ukraine under similar colors.

What about Milchakov and his Adolf tattoos and parading with a Nazi flag, who was leader in Novorossiya army? It is possible somehow (I have seen it many times) for a Russian to glorify Adolf and Stalin at the same time.

Does not necessarily means that he is wrong with everything. The pictures he gives there are all over Russian internet.

WRT to Georgian ribbon - the Soviet version has (slightly) different color, and, I believe was called "guards ribbon", while Vlasov/WWI version was called Georgian ribbon, which is what the current version is called.

Edit: might need to somehow warn people that last picture her is pretty disturbing. A link would be better, but I do not know how to get it not to show up.

It's based on the Tsarist Medal. Common knowledge that Stalin dusted off some old fashioned Russian and Orthodox Patriotism during WW2.

As for that kid, there's one pic of him holding up a Nazi Battle Flag, it could be a "Look at my war spoils" pic. The raised fist is NOT a Fascist Salute.

This is a Fascist Salute:

(Note Swastika tattoo on arm not to mention Totenkopf, the death's head, another SS Symbol)

And the Wulfangel and the Black Sun are SS Images, frequently used by Euronazis to get around the Swastika ban:


And McCain with Svoboda Leader:


It's also indisputable that Bandera was funded by the Nazis, armed by the Nazis, and that 100,000s of Ukrainians served with the Einsatzgruppen and as Hiwis with the Wehrmacht. Vlasov, on the other hand, had POWs who basically had a choice between execution and fighting the Soviet Union. Big difference between eager Ukrainians (and Lithuanians) proudly volunteering for the Nazis, with the added bonus of being able to butcher their hated Polish and Jewish populations, and POWs given a stark choice of Fight or Death.

And the Euro Block Antifa said or did nothing?

Yeah we're that stupid.

I've never heard of this kid, and certainly he was no leader - I know them all - Motorola, Givi, etc. Is it possible there's a singular Nazi in Donbass? I guess, although Donbass is one helluva anti-Nazi coal mining Vatnik (Older, fonder memories of Communists, ironically more religious) town where Nazi symbolism would get your ass beaten harder than two gay guys wearing pink walking hand in hand in Lublin or Bialystok.

Hey, if Neoliberals will work with Al Qaeda, why wouldn't they work with Ukrainian Fascists?

It wasn't Russian

And McCain with Svoboda Leader:

We get the picture of the only guy who is not a "actor from a burned theatre" but a real political figure and the dude can't evern fucking learn how to properly give the salute? I mean, a person has only two hands, how hard is it to use the proper one?

This is how you do it properly:



Or this:



Or this:



This guy doing it wrong again, stupid fucking nazi:



Jeebuz-effing-crust, is it so hard to remember which is the proper hand?

All pretty accurate, except for Netanyahu.

Svoboda totally isn't a quasi-fascist party and never was, LOL
