Obligatory, fuck Spez
Half my family is Ukrainians. From Odessa, which is famous for being full of Jews. I lived in Ukraine for 5 years right before the invasion. Literally not a single Nazi in sight or any rhetoric. Wtf are you on about? If somebody convinced you of whatever you said, you’ve been duped.
So you’re claiming all of this is fabricated?

No, I’m not saying these are fabricated, but I’m saying that you’re cherrypicking examples to support your (Russia’s) narrative. Every time Nazis in Ukraine are discussed, Azov battalion comes up. Guess what, 1 battalion doesn’t make the entire nation Nazis. There are Nazis in all countries. There are even Nazi battalions in Russia, but Russians aren’t Nazis?
The street renaming incident is just a result of incompetent research. They were just pulling any historical names to replace all the numerous Soviet era Russian names. The street I lived on in Kyiv got renamed to one after a Polish Jew. So why would Nazis name streets after Jews?
Ahh. You outed yourself. You can’t jump from ‘I’ve never heard of anything of the sort’ to ‘actually, I have intimate knowledge of why this is not as it seems, and these are cherry-picked.’
If you’re gonna push a lie, pick a lane.
I have done no such thing and I didn’t push any lie. Believe it or not, we don’t personally go around surveying battalions.
– Hey, guys. Are you Nazis? No? Are you sure? Well, okay then.
Nazis exist in every country, but in non-Nazi societies, they don’t manifest themselves, just like in Ukraine. You don’t see Nazis on the streets wearing swastikas, or oppression of Jews or whatever. And up until the war started nobody even knew about Azov being Nazis.
But I can see from the way you react to this information and ignore the key elements, that you’re determined to just stick to your misinformed opinion, no matter what I say. So perhaps this is pointless. Let me know if I’m mistaken, and you genuinely want to shed the misinformation you’ve been fed.
It was a concern long before the war. Ever since the Obama admin installed the far-right regime in the Maiden Coup, many people and organizations were raising alarm bells about the growing Nazi power in Ukraine. Especially when they started targeting ethnic Russians in the east.
