    Russian neo-nazi divisions that took part or currently actively taking part in Russian offensive campaign:

    • Task Force Rusich / DShRG Rusich — https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0954
    • Russian Imperial Movement / Russian Imperial Legion — https://ctc.westpoint.edu/the-russian-imperial-movement-in-the-ukraine-wars-2014-2023/
    • Russian Imperial Movement — U.S. sanctions page — https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0817
    • Espanola / Española Brigade — https://jamestown.org/mikhail-pitbull-turkanov-the-rise-of-russian-soccer-hooligan-unit-espanola-in-ukraine/
    • Rusich, Varyag, Svarozhich — overview of Russian neo-Nazis fighting in Ukraine — https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-neo-nazis-fighting-ukraine/31871760.html
    • Varyag / Svarozhich / Rusich — overview of Russian separatist forces — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_separatist_forces_in_Ukraine

    Then there is **Dmitry Rogozin **is a Russian politician, former head of Roscosmos, and former leader of the ultra-nationalist Rodina party; it is more accurate to describe him as an ultra-nationalist figure with racist and xenophobic rhetoric than as a proven neo-Nazi. Reuters reported on his participation in an ultra-nationalist rally where Nazi-style salutes were made: https://www.reuters.com/article/economy/russian-ultra-nationalists-rally-as-police-watch-idUSL28511451/

    And there are many more cases of attacks and harassment by Russian citizens against Yakuts and other ethnic minorities who are also citizens of the Russian Federation.

    Russia is not fighting Nazism - it is exporting it, funding it, tolerating it in its own armed formations, and using it as propaganda against others.

      I’m more annoyed at how many Brits seem unaffected by Robinson’s brand of mob violence right up until they think a Russian might be involved. It’s nativism coming and nativism going. Nobody seems to want to grapple with the problem of local white Britons being absolutely out of pocket.

        I wonder why the Tommy boys are never waving a Russian flag?
        Invariably it’s a fascist israeli one.
        But we don’t talk about that influence in the west do we?

          Mentioning that Robinson waves an Israeli flag is antisemitic.

        Do you have any examples of people actually like this? Or are you making up a person to be mad at.

        Most of the people I’ve seen who critise Robinson also critise Lucy Connolly, who has (AFIK) no links to either Russia or Israel like Robinson.

        Zack Polanski does, and he’s the only one doing it credibly. Check out his Bold Politics podcast if you’re interested.

          I would love to support Zack Polanski, but the British Press just told me he is being puppeteered by Jihadi Extremists, the Yellow Menace of the Far East, and the insidious hand of the Radical Transgender Communist movement.

            My favourite is “The Green Menace”. Another one I saw today referring to the excellent Mehdi Hasan: “Left-wing troublemaker”.

            I laugh because the tabloids are unhinged, but they’re unhinged because it’s effective among certain cohorts.

          Zack Polanski’s manifesto looks like something a 14 year old twitter user would write to be rebellious. It’s like a guide on how to destroy the country

        Really?

        Cause I think we have a track record in the UK of not caring, regardless of evidence of foreign backing. The proof of the extent that Farage’s various poor excuses for a piss up party had Trumpist as well as Russian backing was huge, but never seemed to get in their way.

      Really is gross that Brits will be 100% on-board with home grown racist bilge, only to shit themselves the moment they get a whisper that an Evil Foreigner might be involved.

      Knee-jerk terror of foreigners is the reason Robinson’s running roughshod over the whole fucking country. But of course the only antidote these fuckwits can come up with is more of the poison.
