Most of the Baltics and especially ukraine had large percentages of nazis.
Nothing has changed.
Ukraine actually had tiny % of nazis in WW2. It was like 250000 or so nazis compared to at least 7 million Ukrainian partisans and Red Army soldiers. It's just that west after war absorbed, coddled and promoted the nazi survivors and after 1991 send them back with a huge propaganda bucks, and in 2014 helped them organize the coup.
It must've been that they were so active I got the impression there were more back then.
Also that there is an unhealthy amount of them in our time.
But thanks for correcting me.
Well, they have access to the biggest and most pervasive propaganda machine in the history of mankind so their narration is the one that prevail in large part of the world.
Like the mere fact that a literal Waffen SS soldier participating in many atrocities was given applause in western parliament and that wasn't met with unanimous condemnation and collapse of said parliament.
I'm having trouble following your logic here. Ninety-something year old former Nazis led a coup in 2014? Try again.
I forgive your lack of logic, but if you think that government supported ideology just magically stops spreading and carrying on to the next generation and is biologically confined to the original group, there's no point of explaining anything because you would not follow it too.
