Meanwhile has linked a wiki page, and quoted that wiki page, relating to the terms "Ruscism, also known as Rashism, Russism, or Russian fascism". The "scholars, politicians and publicists" he refers to are linked in the appendix of that wiki page in an article the title of which includes "Russia...accusing them of being nationalists" when it is obvious to anyone that Ukraine is in fact, ultra nationalist. The article then proceeds to break one of the basic principals of the internet - it compares something (Russia) against Nazi Germany. I dont think there are alot of "scholars, politicians and publicists" in evidence in that article, it is utter propaganda.
If anyone wants to have their mind warped, then i recommend you read the first link in the appendix of the wiki he posted above. Here is the closing paragraph:
"Military defeat will crash putin’s Nazi regime. Unfortunately, today Ukrainians continue to pay for this with their lives. However, it’s important to discuss today what will happen after Russia’s defeat. Denazification of Germany was performed by the allies in many spheres – legal, cultural, media, economic etc. Denazification of the USSR was never implemented – on the contrary, the Soviet Union was allowed to have Central and Eastern Europe as its sphere of influence. Putin’s russia now aspires to return this impact sphere. And it will not abandon its aspirations until it is fully demilitarized and denazified."
imagine reading an essay of that.
moving on:
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping had a “long and meaningful” phone conversation Wednesday, their first known contact since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago. The phone call, which official said lasted nearly an hour, is a significant development in efforts to resolve the conflict. It comes two months after Beijing, which has long been aligned with Russia, said it wanted to act as a peace mediator in the war against Ukraine and after Xi visited Moscow last month.
“I believe that this call, as well as the appointment of Ukraine’s ambassador to China, will give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations,” Zelenskyy said in a Facebook post without elaborating. Ukraine’s presidential office said more details of what was said would be published later in the day. In China, the phone call was reported by state media. China Central Television said Beijing intends to send an envoy to Kyiv to discuss “a political settlement” for the war. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova commended China’s approach but was scathing about Ukraine’s stance.
What really strikes me is that I post evidence of Western MSM reporting on Ukrainian far right movements before the war and
tries to counter that by saying:

You owned yourself so badly: forced to link a 5 years old video on 1 training camp
While my argument is literally
that all Western MSM reported on that before the war and I can link a ton of proof if needed (LMK).
This once again shows it's literally impossible to debate with him in good faith.
By the way this BBC news vid I posted earlier was uploaded
9 years ago and talks about Ukrainian ultra nationalists honoring Stepan Bandera every year (lol)
