    I’m shocked how many lemmy users think Nazis should be allowed to exist. Like, they forgot what they are or something.

    Tommy Robinson Stephen Yaxley-Lennon should be charged for treason. He’s clearly trying to cause disorder to assist our enemy (Russia)

    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.
