So they say, but there are Nazis fighting for Russia. Wagner group, named after Richard Wagner whose music Hitler was fond of. One of their founders and leaders was openly a Nazi. Rusich group also operates within Wagner and their leader is even more of a Nazi.

The links between the Russian state and right-wing extremist groups are numerous. But it seems to me in general that ultranationalist/fascist groups have stronger support in former Soviet states than elsewhere. Russia and Ukraine are no exception.
