The point I was trying to make in my previous post is that some Russians invoke the "fascist" threat in Ukraine, while backing action which , in my opinion, is reminiscent of fascist Germany.
Ask yourself another question: why does no Russian on this site openly, directly criticise Russia? To what extent does auto-censorship play a role here? The same dark forces which inhibit open debate here were, again in my opinion, at play in 1930s Germany. смутные времена!!!
