dunno about scant evidence when there are so many different instances of ukranians with nazi tattoos and badges and shit freely availabe all over the internet
I’ve been shown some of those, and my issue with them has always been that a scattering of pictures like that can paint a very misleading picture if they’re used effectively. I was hoping someone would provide something with a more complete overview.
Fortunately, someone came through with some quality articles about the situation around the time of this post. Unfortunately been super busy and then sick and then busy again, hence the late reply, so I don’t have time right now to dig them back out again, but if you want to see them, check my comment history. I replied to them to thank them for actually providing some good evidence, so should hopefully be findable.
My overall takeaway from them was that Ukraine does have a problem with far right nationalists, but the problem is largely exaggerated to bolster condemnation of Ukraine. Ukraine is definitely going to have to address the problem eventually, hopefully soon, but I can understand how being invaded by Russia might have made them deprioritize that for now. It feels like a pretty risky move to try to make use of them for now, but desperation is a motherfucker like that.
