    A lot of the nazis especially in eastern europe got or still get funded by the cia because of their staunch anticommunism via gladio operations. Thats not to blame the empire for the bigotry of the average european but a lot of the fascist orgs get material support from seppoland.

      The same happened with communist parties funded by URSS at the time, and it is still happening with some parties openly supporting Putin.

      In the end the blame goes to thee people for being so gullible to vote for parties that do the interests of foreign powers. US, Russia, (China?), doesn’t really matter.

        No, the ussr did not fund paramilitary nazi groups formed from the remnants of former SS troops, or anything similar.

          They always funded European left-wing parties at least until the fall of URSS. There were even cultural exchanges with European politicians going to Moscow. It was never a secret! The same thing is still happening today with some parties openly pro-Putin (at least until the invasion of Ukraine).

            Some cultural exchanges and auxiliary funding is not remotely the same as arming and connecting former SS troops to create clandestine paramilitary terror cells, like wtf are we comparing here.

                    I recommend providing sources next time youre making the comperison between nazi terror cells doing pogroms and some revolutionary groups doing targeted assasinations of fascist politicians. Provide a source that the assassination of Aldo moro was financed or otherwise materially supported by the ussr or shut up. Because I found nothing of the sort.

                    Either way still not remotely comparable to what the wannabe-dirlewangers did and still do:
