    This was Google translated, but I think it gets the same meaning:

    Further denazification of this mass of the population consists in re-education, which is achieved by ideological repression (suppression) of Nazi attitudes and strict censorship

    If I am anticipating your line of thought correctly, this quote should clarify and disproves that this journalist wants to kill the Ukrainian population. That is a bald-faced lie. On top of that, this is an opinion piece in the news. State run or not, it is not an official position of the Russian government.

        Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source. I think you bought some kind of bs and you refuse to see how backwards it has you thinking.

        What you are doing here is a form of gish-galloping. If I had the capacity to debunk everyone who says “Russia is committing genocide!” (of which there are countless), then I should be the UN’s top investigator. Maybe bring up a specific example?

        But what’s funny is even in that article, at least three people, including the Senior Legal Counsel of the Human Rights Watch are quoted saying that the evidence for genocide is insufficient.

          Their thinking is theirs, as well. I neither impose my perspective, nor accept other views at a face value. One need to earn my respect and trust first.

      State run or not, it is not an official position of the Russian government.

      Neither are https://myrotvorets.center/ statements official position of the Ukrainian government.

      So, either both or none…

        I’ve never heard of this website so seems like an unrelated whataboutism.

          Mate, the whole OP is about that site. Are you sure you know what thread you are in?

            Do you know what thread you are in? This thread changed the topic from Pink Floyd to whether or not Russia is self-admittedly genocidal. So if you want to go back to Pink Floyd, you are changing the topic again.

                No it’s there, same universe. But again, that’s besides the point. We were talking about whether Russia is self-admittedly genocidal. That has nothing to do with Pink Floyd and the original article.
