38. Perhaps we can hold in your favor that you didn't check your sources

But I am still struggling to figure out what you are trying to say ...

1. A Russian TV presenter remarks that "they" ((some) Jewish organizations) "hastened" or "advanced" the (first) Holocaust, in response to the statement of someone she interviews: "It is strange that Jewish organizations – European and Russian – support Maidan. They do that? They do not realize that they are, with their own hands, closer to the second Holocaust?" and who paraphrases the interviewers remark "until 1933 in Europe many liberal organizations were feeding Hitler". (1)

2. A fascist party in Ukraine which received 10.44 percent of the votes in the last election joins the government after a violent uprising in which fascist militants play a decisive role. For the first time in Europe after WWII, a fascist party joins a government, receiving four ministerial posts.

So, the first point demonstrates in your opinion the dangerous prevalence of anti-Semitism in Russia, whereas the second is nothing to worry about?


(1) Far from blaming the Jews for "bringing about" the Holocaust, this remark points to the naiveté of those who would not recognize the danger poised by the Nazis at the time and remained supporters of "liberal" parties (DVP, DNVP) while they were drifting to the extreme right. Many Jewish citizens did, of course, support anti-fascist parties such as the Communists or the Social Democrats instead.
