What is that website? Smells like Russian propaganda to me. Lemmy seems to get overrun with ot lately, unfortunately.

If you want to judge the validity of an article by how sleek and pretty the website looks you can go back to reddit. Plenty of MSM slop straight from the state department.

History of Fascism in Ukraine: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV
Don't believe your eyes, Putin has paid off your eyeballs and puppeteered all western media right up until 2020
I mean. The war began in 2014 with Russia and Ukraine
Baldwin: Can you explain what you see as the misuse of the holocaust and WWII by the Russian government and nationalists?
... Havryshko: The memory of World War II is weaponized by different political actors for political and military purposes. For example, when Putin began his angry speech on the night of February 24, 2022, he emphasized that one of the goals of the so-called “special military operation” was the “denazification” of Ukraine.
Top Russian propagandists frequently refer to the Ukrainian government as a “Nazi regime” and call Ukrainian soldiers “Nazis.”
From the article. The author is a western academic, a historian of Holocaust studies. Read.
@ctrl_alt_esc@lemmy.ml It's called Journalism. If you'd bother to look, you'd realize that Pulitzer is mentioned on the website, and you wouldn't have to ask such a profoundly silly question.
What does Pulitzer have to do with journalism? The opinion of Colombia university holds negative value.
Pro Russia poster. Never a bad word said about Russia or Putin.
i used to struggle to understand why americans refused to see that the ukrainian far right is so empowered until i came to lemmy and see the election results; now i understand that we've been punching left for so long that the the right seems reasonable.
I'm surprised that this article doesn't engage more with the current war. Given that Russia has been accusing Ukraine of being a 'nazi state' since day one, I'd be surprised if that hadn't changed the level of support for this kind of politics. I can imagine how it could go either way: increasing because of the threat to Ukraine's national identity, or decreasing to not prove the Russians right and to rally around Zelenskyy, who is overall a moderate. I do notice that all of the pictures in this article are from before the war. It's also weird they don't mention that Azov were more-or-less wiped out in the opening stages of the invasion at Mariupol.
