(16,670 posts)15. Dude... If you talk about Nazis in Ukraine, you also have to talk about Nazis in Russia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashi_(youth_movement)
Nashi has been accused of recruiting skinheads and local hooligans to intimidate rival youth groups.[21] Such activities caused Gavin Knight, an editor for the New Statesman, to draw the conclusion that "Nashis true function was as a personality cult for Putin whose job was intimidate, bully and harass his opponents."[46] The movement has evoked comparisons with the Hitler Youth in the mainstream media[7] to the extent that Nashi, together with other pro-Putin youth organizations, were derogatively nicknamed Putinjugend.
Meanwhile Russia passed a bill on 22nd of May that gives the Attorney-General the power to unilaterally destroy any organization or corporation at will without a trial in court.
Ah, the smell of freedom and being way better than the tyrannical, decadent West.
