    Klufas blames the branding of Hunka as a Nazi on “Russian disinformation,” adding, “the fact that he was a soldier does not mean that he was a Nazi.” He also said there was nothing wrong with Parliament applauding a man “who fought for his country.”

    Can we applaud Russian soldiers then?

      the fact that he was a soldier does not mean that he was a Nazi

      WTF. This is trying to apply the clean Wehrmacht myth on Waffen-SS volunteers. That the professor is saying only members of the NSDAP were Nazis is something that would be crossed out as reductive in any homework you have to write at school or uni over here.

      Everything that is politically inconvenient for our ruling hegemony in this moment is Russian disinformation at worst, Soros funded as a middle ground, and Chinese propaganda at best. You don’t even have to justify or prove it. Just claim it and it becomes as real as the ground under your feet.
