Germany, experts on Nazism as they say here, tell Russia to fuck off and speak the truth many couldn't see.

[Martin Dietze]

A rather subjective view, widely clueless about anti semitism in the whole
of the east slavic world, both historically and today. Anti semitism in
modern Ukraine is actually at a very low level compared to neighbouring
states, first of all Russia. The author does not seem to know about this,
hence he feels ambivalent about Ukraine. How perfectly this fits into
Russian propaganda. And how damaging it is for a peaceful country invaded
and systematically destroyed by an imperial-minded, blood-thirsty
dicatorship. And how unsurprising that people who have "always known" about
Ukraine as a country with a "nazi problem" now share this stuff.

Being intelligent and educated is not enough. There is no substitute for
knowledge. And knowledge only partly consists of what you read.

Utterly disgusted about this (hypo) "critical" attitude unwilling to simply
take and name things as they are.
