The far right, in the meanwhile, is gaining ground because people who lived under fascism are pretty much dead at this point.
I hope that it is like that but I believe that we are on a way to fascism that is pushed by Western elites and not Russia.
The planned loss of online privacy and the lockdown of android phones make me believe that the shift to far right parties is just a piece in a bigger puzzle.
The Russia started actively supporting neo-nazistic organizations in ex-USSR countries around year 2005. That was documented back and there were news articles about that. For example in Ukraine that caused the prevalence of a nazi problem to increase steadily year after all the way until 2014 when that development got cut and the prevalence started decreasing.
Back then, 20 years ago, when there was more media attention about it, it was done only in ex-USSR countries, but it would be weird if the same concept hadn’t been extended to EU countries as well. Why wouldn’t it have been? It has worked extremely well for Putin in the original area, and there’s no reason to assume it wouldn’t work for him the same way within EU countries as well.
