Russians don't know what Nazis are. They just know some people called Nazis attacked them in WW2, so denazifying = stopping enemies of Russia. It isn't talking about the Azov battalion or anything; that's an uncalled-for steelmanning because everyone is free associating things they read about in the news. |

My granma told me what was happening in Khmelnik (West Ukraine) at times of German occupation.
50% of the city was Jewish. And almost zero left in first few months. And that was done primarily by locals from UPA - not Germans. You can hide from a German but cannot hide from your neighbor.
UPA and Stepan Bandera[1] is a hero of Ukraine now - it is a street in Kiev named after him. Despite the fact that Poland and Russia condemn him as a war criminal - for massacres of Polish and Jewish civilians.
And now Ukrainian refugees are coming to Poland... That will not be that easy ... Liberal values are quite thin as practice shows.
I am quite surprised that nice Jew guy mr. Zelensky didn't do anything about it. Probably because he is not who rule there.
