    He didn't.
    One of the most widely spread myths here in Europe - but suppose in all the countries that share the roots, language, or whatever, is how the Soviet Union was collaborating with Nazi Germany.
    It is ab obvious lie and propaganda entry, as the SU had waste contacts with the Weimar Republic.
    Cooperation was canceled shortly after Hitler took the power.
    Most of the memories of how they collaborated are from 1932/1933.
    Sure the surnames would have been repeated in the Reich history later on, but they had no connection after.
    A pact that has been signed in end of !AUGUST 1939! was one of the last political documents signed by the nazi Germaany with the neighbouring states.
    The switch was so sudden and bizarre, that Ribbentrop's visit to Moscow had serious diplomatic issues, as the Soviet Union lacked the Nazi banners to fulfill the protocol. They had to lease those from the warehouses of ... Mosfilm.
    Mosfilm had those in numbers, as was busy making propaganda movies against the nazi Germay Laughing Laughing Laughing

       A fundamentally new, strategic type of troops. Surovikin has a scientific degree - and his articles, which in a small number have been made available to the public - are about INTER-SPECIES interaction. That is, how to link different types of troops into a single whole and achieve a synergistic effect.

       It was under him that 95% of the territory of Syria was recaptured

       He built a fire system in such a way that he beat them on the way. Others didn't succeed.

       He is one of the best military leaders in Russia. Or maybe even the best. The only thing that can be said for sure is that he always tries to protect his soldiers

       The soldiers love him precisely for this: his orders are reasonable, he does not throw them into a meat grinder.

       It was Surovikin who managed to pass troops through the desert in Syria under American satellites unnoticed and go to the rear of the Americans.

    Sounds a little fantastical

    But a nice story to appease the raging right-wing nationalists turned doomers in Russia so that they can go back to being useful and busy themselves crowdfunding drones for front line troops or whatever

    Although I don't doubt the competence of Surovkin judging by his record, don't get me wrong
    The war is shifting to a new phase so why not appoint a fresh face with a reputation for getting things done

    That telegram channel likes to gossip about shit like that. A bunch of gossip queens. Then the axis media picks it up

    Russia has taken the flag of the Tradition that Greece, Rome, Byzantium and Germany knew how to carry. Russia, after communism and 90 liberalism, is in the right place in history.

    That an illiterate Ukrainian dog wears a swastika, says nothing. Members of Wagner also have.
    Here the only position that comes close to historical fascism (in favor of Tradition) is Russia. That Putin or many leaders cannot say it is something else.

    Ford was a anti-Semite, an anti-unionist and a staunch anti-communist BUT he knew how to make money in the USSR and at the same time tried to show the commies how great capitalism was. He failed in the latter but succeeded with the GAZ factory. Stalin approved.
     
    The West allied itself with the USSR
    The west never saw the USSR as an ally - all they wanted was for the Nazis and the Communist to kill each other. They were actually hoping for the former to win. D-Day only happened in 1944 when the Reds were already heading for Berlin. Russia never "cleansed" Russia from communism. As far as I know the Communist Party is the second largest political party in Russia.

    However back in the 50's the fascist US did the cleansing - many innocent lives were destroyed just because you sort of like looked like a Communist.

    Do you know what is the real issue here? scratch
    People don't know the bloody history, and they are continuously being delusional by the applied idee fix.

    The Soviet Union was a regular member of worldwide trade.
    In some of the cases, much more desirable/demanded, as they have no problem with paying in pure gold or diamonds - a rare case those days!
    They have purchased a line of patents, know-how & labor.
    Holly shit, they were notorious for buying whole fuckin' factories, with staff, machines, know how and records - if needed.
    While technical progress was applied step by step, and there was a time when let's say Itay provided them naval guns, as they didn't retrieve the competencies yet.
    Math is for racists.
    History is for smartasses.
    Ignorance is for the mob.

    No need to publicly expose the names of the SBU culprits, or else the infiltrated ones will get exposure on their turn.
    On another parallel related subject, FSB has to carry out an efficient counter-intelligence permanent initiative with an eye on both Ukrainian and Western intelligence services.

    Argentinaguard, I don't like the reds, but I don't like them because it's an ideology without a national identity. If it were the opposite of what I wrote, then in Russia they would still declare themselves as Soviets - there are no such ones anymore. I maintain that the current Russia was created by the Russian Empire, so that the Russian spirit (identity) was still felt in the Second World War, just as Stalin called for the famous Russian ancestors. Argentinaguard If you are already a Nazi, then you really need to be beaten well - you Nazi ****

    ⚡DMITRY MEDVEDEV @medvedev_telegram answered several of my questions in writing:

    Nadana: Do you admit that Ukraine was involved in the explosion on the Crimean bridge? Or is it internal terror?

    Medvedev: The customer and perpetrator of the crime is the failed state of Ukraine. This is a terrorist act and sabotage committed by the criminal Kyiv regime. There is no doubt, and there never was. All reports and conclusions are made. Russia's response to this crime can only be the direct destruction of terrorists. Just as it is accepted in the world. This is what the citizens of Russia are waiting for.

    Nadana: The ex-commander of Azov, Zhorin, published a video from Kupyansk showing how the bodies of dead people are thrown into a pit. With the signature "Payback will be." Later he added that the video was from the phone of the “occupier”. How will Russia react? What could be the consequences for Ukraine at the international level, in your opinion?

    Medvedev: There will be no international consequences, because no international organization can cope with such tasks. And the agenda in them has long been formed by freaks from Western countries. But this does not mean that the crime committed will not be investigated. Will be.

    Russia's reaction? It, in my opinion, should be the last thing in line with the norms of international law ...

    In both situations, Chief of Staff Gerasimov is being "moved" away from direct control of Russia's most important military campaign for a very long time. In essence, it could be called a soft suspension.
    Complete BS. Fact is that Gerasimov is the boss of Surovikin. There were command changes after the first part of the SMO. Now a new phase (ATO, GPW 2.0?) is coming. Until now all the different fronts got different directives (North: keep the enemy busy, East: clean the Donbass, South: guard Kherson and the landbridge), soon there will be new orders. So new commanding officers appear. I would add that just like in Syria the military and political leadership of Russia want as many dudes as possible getting the experience of a real and large war.

    I always have to tut and shake my head when I listen to you guys

    Bud, there is no 'defense of traditional values'.
    For the Americans there is a defense of Pax Americana and for the Russians the attempt to abrogate it - and hoisted upon the Russians I should say, as it was never even Russia's preference to end up in some big confrontation again.
    Russia is not fascist, it's not really anything. It's just there and it's a country which cannot accept its foreign policy being dictated to by Washington which is what Biden tried to blackmail Putin into.

    As for the traditional values, it's rhetoric. Yes Russia's internal policy is to reject all these weird social experiments as its detrimental to demographics & common sense, and no doubt aversion to this stuff does play a certain role in the foreign policies of many countries; particularly Muslim ones.
    But what it ultimately comes down to is the cause that one empire champions, is the cause to which the antithesis will be championed by its rivals. For reasons of self-interest, their rivals will be interested in allying with any internal opposition and rallying others under a common banner too.
    While a cause that is championed by said empire is necessary in the first place, as a means of unification and control, in the long-term eroding national/tribal differences and other prior divisions of past statehoods and social orders. This is what most empires get around to sooner or later. Much as the Emperor Constantine declared Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire (i.e. Europe) back in the 4th century, so do today the modern-day pretender to the Romans declares this ridiculous mix of eco-radicalism, LGBT promotion, critical race theory, critical gender theory and a whole bunch of other post-modernist gobbledygook theorems as their own new religion; complete with all the witch-hunting against heretics to boot.

    But that itself does not concern anyone other than the inhabitants of these free speech turning Orwellian societies, and perhaps those nations too dependent on said societies to resist the forced spread of such ideas; Argentina for example or other South American states.
    It wouldn't have concerned Russia however or have given any reason for Russia to champion an antithesis had the core geopolitical conflict and attempts at regime-change and expansion from Washington towards Russia not become manifest in the first instance.

    And indeed just as Russia is not really a champion of the antithesis, nor is the West really a champion of the cause.
    It's ultimately a tool as well as I've noted.
    The same Nazism that supposedly stands in opposition to Washington has in fact long been co-opted and bought out by it. Starting from all the Nazi functionaries who kept their jobs in West Germany, to the Reich's scientists getting new employers (the USSR did the same here), to Mussolini's apparatus swiftly pressed into service by the Americans to suppress the burgeoning communist movement and partisans in Italy.. all the way to more modern-day manifestations. Such as the CIA's co-opting of the Banderite ultra-nationalists that was then employed in installing this anti-Russian regime in the Ukraine in 2014, or the complete support and funding of several of these 'new Europe' NATO members, the regimes of which name streets or build monuments to Nazi collaborators, rewrite history, or throw a fit when Brussels asks them to accept a couple thousand dark-skinned immigrants (a lot of the later ended up stranded in Russia en-route to Europe ultimately, and stayed here, yet no-one here has been kicking up a fuss in this supposedly fascist, national-orientated state).

    And of course in your native South America, the US's role throughout the Cold War in propping up regimes dedicated to the emulation of fascist Europe's governments, in service to narrow cliques of ruling landowners - is well-known.
    Before you say it though - no, this is not something that has changed now, after communism has ceased to be a threat and the USSR has collapsed.
    While you pour scorn on the 'leftist monkeys in Cuba', it is precisely this country which has been the biggest thorn in the side of the Anglo-Saxons, Jews, Anglo-Jews or whoever else you want to name - in your hemisphere. Not any fascist in Argentina or anywhere else, but the commies in Cuba. Being as it was that the manifestation of communism in Cuba came about due to the poverty, foreign meddling and social inequalities, not the mention the concentration in Havana of the same western degeneration; that was all a feature of Batista's regime. Indeed as I recall reading, Castro rallied against the homosexuality and other vices reigning in the capital to gain popular support among the rural population; much as Hitler had once derided the Wiemar republic for during his own climb to power.
    On the part of Casto, it made sense to do so even from a communist perspective; because this sort of thing was driven by foreign sex-tourism and rampant wealth inequality.
    Let's look further into South America. Hmm now there must be some fascist, or even just right-wing opponents of America here? No, not one? Oh okay they have all been its allies and all still are. Even taking very recent events, such as the coup against Morales (a faux-socialist, but definitely not a fascist), by the same descendants of European landowners and hardcore supporters of free-market capitalism. Conducted with the blessing of the US.
    Or Venezuela, there must be some anti-Jewish nationalists in power there for sure? Oh right, socialist types again. That new anti-American in Peru? Na, not a right-winger either. That they're socially conservative, before you mention it, bears no bearing. The same USSR was also socially conservative, more so actually than Russia is today.

    So yes it is Cuba that is Russia's ally. Also North Korea. And China. And India. And a bunch of other countries. Because the civilizational choice of the country, so to speak, was already decided upon without realization already back in 1917. Then, as now, the entire West attempted to first throw out the anti-Western regime militarily. Then when that failed, attempted to blockade and isolate the country. Thus the country turned to the rest of the world. There was a brief period starting in 1991 when the West could have in principle, integrated Russia back into their club. But they were too greedy and too condescending, and actually did prefer their loyal anti-Russian satellites in Eastern Europe - for the fact that they were loyal, whereas Russia had its own opinion far too often.

    As for these volunteers, Orthodox, fascist or whoever - I have nothing against them. Nor do their beliefs concern me. If for whatever reason they don't like the Bandera regime in the Ukraine or Washington's meddling around the world then those are as good a reason as any to volunteer.
    But I do have a low opinion on all these supposed right-wing, or fascist allies of Russia that the Western media keeps witch-hunting for. The only right-wing friends Russia has are Orban and Erdogan; and they are both conditional. Maybe to some extent, the ANC in South Africa as well, in so far as they are African nationalists. But in all cases the cause for co-operation is the same as the cause for co-operation with anyone else - namely the desire of these countries to maintain their independence and distance from Washington. Not so much because of some grand ideological alliance in service of defending traditional values.
    It's telling however how Le Pen, this supposed ally of Putin, per the Western press - responded when the war broke out. She was sounding the alarm bells over the West having pushed Russia into the arms of China.
    This new Italian leader meanwhile has wasted no time in expressing her support for the Ukraine.
    Trump's position is well-known, albeit he is just a populist and with his public profile there are limits to what opinions he can voice.

    So far from challenging the current world order, the approach of most of these nationalists and pro-traditional values people differs from the globalist one only in terms of strategy, not in terms of intent - and in fact all align with Kissinger's pre-February one. Namely to ally with Russia against China, and ensure Euro-centric dominance of the world that way.
    But Euro-centric dominance of the world won't do for Russia, because such dominance involves exploiting its resources and arming its enemies, as much as those of Africa, or China, or South America's.

    I'd rather pick the monkeys in Cuba, thanks. They are rather more straightforward. And you should have a think about what side you're actually on. Because again, if you hope for North America and Europe, in any form, whether liberal, or traditional, to continue their hegemony in the world without space for others - then Russia's is not your side; no matter whatever alignment in values.

    And finally about Nazism. I don't know whether you describe yourself as a fascist, or a Nazi, or anything else - it's not my concern. But you do seem to be confused as to what Nazism actually is.
    Hitler's innovation was not naming the enemy in the face of the Jews - that's not something that nobody before him had not come up with before.
    Nazism was a direct response to communism.
    If we understand that communism, or rather socialist revolutions - came about in response to the 19th century industrializing economies ruthlessly exploiting their own working classes; and with the socialists therefore advocating the trans-national unity of working classes across Europe instead.
    Then Nazism, was a response to this response, which advocated the preservation and strengthening of those same nation-states, by building unity across all social-economic classes within those states; thus averting revolution. However the means by which this unity was to be achieved was only partially by making capitalism less predatory, the other part of it was of exploiting & robbing other nations and peoples in service of your own. Thus giving benefits to your working class, your middle class, your industrialists; through lebensraum, slave labour, stolen property and whatever else.
    Furthermore, Hitler was exposed to all the arguments of the socialists, liberals and others as to the nature of the state, peoples, etc... while in Vienna. And he was intelligent enough to understand these arguments. Where it was claimed that ultimately a state is a means of enrichment by one group over a wider one, and the state gradually forms a people, and that there is nothing physical or material as such about a people - it's just an idealism much as religion or any other belief. And all that sort of dialectic basically.
    Hitler was revolted by these arguments, but had to find a counter to them. Which he did, when he came up with all this stuff about blood and race. Which was the material component of nationhood that would explain the purpose of states and differences between them. This is the other pillar of Nazism.

    Now I thought about all this before, and in regards to the first point about cross-class unity, believe that it at least has been subsequently adapted to various extents by most countries in the world now over the decades. In that all nations now tend to focus on exploiting their own poor and working classes less, and other nation's working classes, whether as migrant workers or as low-cost labour - more. And that the introduction of universal suffrage, various social benefits have softened the class differences, such as they are still very much there and evident - but that modern governments are obliged to work for the benefits of their entire nation rather than just a clique at the top.
    So in that sense every country has become a bit more Nazi-like.
    But to actually advocate even a fraction of the same extremes as actual Nazism, the actual physical enslavement and dispossession of other peoples, races, countries - no; that's an abomination.
