”Let’s discuss Putin speech. He declared Ukrainians to be “Neonazis” and promised to “denazify” them. Indeed the “Nazi” character of Ukrainian statehood and identity has long been a central thesis of Russian propaganda. Let’s discuss why and how it reflects ideology of Putinism🧵”

The whole thread is here, and is a very interesting read:

“The USSR was already conducting huge ethnic cleansings before the war, before any collaboration with the Nazis could even start. The war didn’t really change anything - it allowed Soviets to carry on but now with a perfect excuse. We’re cleansing minorities because they’re Nazi.”
