Hello! On 27 January, a member of the Free Russia Movement (the civilian wing of the Freedom of Russia Legion) posted this article comparing Putin's government with the Stalinist regime in the USSR, and especially to Hitler's Germany.

January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is difficult to talk about such dates, but it is necessary. Because otherwise they tend to repeat themselves. If humanity begins to forget about the learned bloody lessons of its history.
One of my friends from Israel says that the Jews not only forgave the Germans, but were able to resume economic cooperation with them after just a few decades. Compensations were paid, Nazi criminals were convicted (or liquidated), words of public repentance were spoken. This is the recipe, they say.
🗣 I don’t think that Ukraine and Russia will ever succeed like Israel and Germany. Even after decades. Firstly, Germany and Israel are not neighbors. You can leave Germany for the Promised Land. You can't escape Russia. And this is not the first time Moscow has committed genocide on Ukrainian lands. The Holodomor of the 30s was an artificial famine to stifle the resistance of the Ukrainian people and the desire for independence. It is often said that there was famine in Russian territories too. This is true. From “effective” management, collectivization and collective farm construction. And in Ukraine, the Soviets added to this forced confiscation of grain and other products, a ban on harvesting in excess of the norm (let it rot better) and a ban on leaving the villages of the “Holodomor zone”. It was a thinly veiled genocide, the victims of which were millions of Ukrainians.
Now
Moscow is waging open genocide. Residential buildings, hospitals and schools are being targeted by rockets. Ukrainian children are confiscated from the occupied territories and sent deep into the RF [ie, Russian Federation] to be melted down, for a forced change of identity, to become Russians. Obedient Mankurts [slang term meaning "
unthinking slave", especially non-ethnic-Russians that lost their ethnic identity], from whose memory their origin, homeland and belonging to the Ukrainian nation were erased.
It is incorrect to compare tragedies where more were killed and where less. But
the tragedy of Bucha is an episode comparable to the chronicle of war crimes of the Nazis and their colleagues-antipodes, the NKVD officers, during the Second World War. Mass shootings, massacres, executions. All repeats. Hitler built the imperial Third Reich, Putin is building imperial Russia. Hitler faked the attack on the Gleiwitz radio station to invade Poland, Putin came up with the “oppression” of the Russian language and the need to protect Russian speakers to invade Ukraine. And so on and so forth.
Truly, as US Senator Huey Long predicted: the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists. The good news is that Putin and his Reich will end up just like Hitler.
But it won’t happen by itself. And
a day like International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a reason for each of us to think about what we can do to stop the new Hitler. Until he turned to full power. #TextFromSubscriber
