FFS are you seriously suggesting that the likes of Stepan Bandera and other Eastern European nazi collaborators who participated in the Holocaust and contributed to the nazi war effort were simply trolling Russia? And btw Eastern European nationalist collaboration with western intelligence agencies goes back to atleast the Bolshevik seizure of power and is linked later on to nazi collaboration, which also involved those western intelligence agencies, there were Russians who were on their side aswell. Theres quite a fascist history there y'know (a bit of a tradition you might say). I'm not for one second letting Russian nationalism/fascists or past USSR imperialism off the hook either, nor the current Russian irradentism - I am against all of those aswell.Ukraine is at war with Russia because apparently, they are Nazis so why not wear nazi regalia to piss them off some more?
A lot of SS fandom in the Baltics and Ukraine is aimed at deliberately pissing off Russia and supporting nationalism.
They had 50 years of Soviet occupation that will rather colour your response to NAZIs bad.
whys that village empty?
first, the Russians came and killed the landlords
the Nazis came and killed the partisans
then the Russians came back and killed the collaborators.
Pissing off Russia and pissing on the occupation history is a legitimate political point the "great patriotic war" war memorials in the former Soviet sphere share the same space as confederate memorials in the south of the US. The Soviets didn't liberate eastern Europe they just changed the occupier
Jeezus, people really have lost their fucking minds
