If you think the Russians are the same as the Ukrainians, who venerate literal fascists who explicitly liquidated ethnic groups they hated, you're insane. Nothing I have said whitewashes Russia, everything I have said is literal fact. Russia isn't some great nation of equality, but they're not run by a nazi coup government like Ukraine.
I am not the ableist slur you used. Beyond being uninformed of the political climate in Russia, I can't believe you even dare to suggest that using barely trained convicts as "expendables" while giving out the most venerated medals to their Nazi commanders is not a very Nazi thing to do and then follow that up with claiming you're not whitewashing anything. It's surreal to see takes like this on a left-leaning forum.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth, useful tactic.

Nah, I only read Russian language sources when it comes to Russian internal matters. In the Russian ML communities, the unfortunately sometimes prevalent hexbear thinking about the Russian government being anything but Nazi would be met with confusion at best, yet certain users here like to educate me despite never having been to Russia, not being able to speak Russian, and not trying to learn what is actually happening in Russia beyond RT and Kremlin press releases.
