I got in touch with a friend from uni who now lives in the EU and he’s asking me for evidence of the far-right problem in Ukraine’s government and military. This has been so evident to me for a while now that I don’t have anything off the top of my head. Can anyone provide any quick links that are a good introduction for a newbie?

    It’s hard for say ‘normies’ to notice the far right tendencies from Ukraine because they never outright declare themselves as fascist, but their speech and iconography is full of far right dogwhistles.

      Yeah. I’ve sent him everything here but he refuses to believe it’s a significant problem. He’s got his head stuck in the sand. It’s frustrating. Especially because we studied philosophy together, it’s like he forgot how to think properly.

      He just got his citizenship and he’s worried but willing to defend his new country against Russian aggression lol. The brainwashing is uncanny.
