the ukrainian right made up 5% in the last election. there is some historic connection to nazism and some ukrainians are genuine nazis.

but the problem is blown out of proportion by the same people who started a war against them.

there's WAY BIGGER fascism problems in czechia, serbia or the #1 spot: germany.

the world is not black and white.

so that 5%-er party somehow got the entire state to venerate bandera and rename shit after him?

either it's not 5% (and you are unable to identify far right parties) or that 5% is firmly in control of the other 95%

no it's 5% in total. country's corrupt and got many issues but fascism is not a pressing issue.

stop reading russia today. talk to ukrainians and russians alike. don't blow shit out of proportion and support russian imperialism in return.

as i said: world is not black and white.
