The thing about wanting to exterminate Jews didn’t particularly bother most Ukrainians at the time. Many of the apparatchiks involved in Holodomor and the razkulachivaniya programs had been Jewish and between Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews there had never been much love lost. Ukrainians often spoke of ridding Ukraine of both the ‘Yid’ and the ‘Yack’ (the Jew and the Pollack)... There would be something wrong if there were not some number of unreconstructed Nazis walking around in the Ukraine but, by the same token, every family in Russia lost at least one person to the Nazi onslaught and there is no reason to think Russians would be happy about Nazis taking over the Ukraine now.

The current leaders of the Ukraine are overwhelmingly ethnic Russians and want to have nothing whatsoever to do with being a part of Russia or living under Russian autocratic control. They too remember all too well waht happens to people living under the control of the KGB, NKVD,and CHEKA secret police of which Putin is a former and current officer. While there are most certainly a number of NZI sympathizers in the Ukraine, they have no political representation in the Ukraine and no significant influence upon the governance of the Ukraine. Stalin and his successors in Russia turned against the Jews, so Russia is no better than soem of the worst Ukrainians with respect to the safety of those victimized populations, and they are a lot worse given the current Ukrainian mood of puting an end to such discriminations.

Parroting Putin’s increasingly strident and false propaganda accusing Ukrainians of NAZI atrocities makes you a rather obvious apologist for the Russian crimes currently being perpetrated in the Ukraine and In Russia as well, as russian opponents of the Putin regime are being arrrested, abducted, and/or intimidated for their opposition to Putin’s incresingly autocratic regime.
