In the pic you see a guy wearing a German uniform, and that red and black flag is neo- Nazi (not anarchist). - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
has nothing to do with neo-Nazi as that is only an assumption made by you.
just because you may be from Germany it doesn't make you a neo-Nazi.
And you have no proof that the man in your picture is anything other than a Ukraine citizen that has a jacket that has a German flag on it.
I have seen quite of some people on the web defending the neo-fascists with the same claims that they arent Neo Nazis for while more then over a year now.
Its getting a bit old.
Oh no i am sure all of them are all just ordinary Ukrainians and arent Neo Fascists yet History says otherwise.
Many Russian neo-Nazis openly admire Adolf Hitler and use the German Nazi swastika as their symbol. Russian neo-Nazis are characterized by racism, antisemitism, homophobia, Islamophobia and extreme xenophobia towards people from Asia.[64] Their ideology centers on defending Russian national identity against what they perceive as a takeover by minority groups such as Jews, Caucasians, homosexuals, Central Asians, Roma people, Poles, and Muslims.
Observers have noted the irony of Russians embracing neo-Nazism, because one of Hitler's ambitions at the start of World War II was to exterminate, expel, or enslave most or all Slavs from central and eastern Europe (i.e., Russians, Ukrainians, Poles etc.).[65] At the end of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, over 25 million Soviet citizens had died.[66] In a 2007 news story, ABC News reported, "In a country that lost more people defeating the Nazis than any other country, there are now an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 neo-Nazis, half of the world's total."[67]
On August 15, 2007, Russian authorities arrested a student for allegedly posting a video on the Internet which appears to show two migrant workers being beheaded in front of a red and black swastika flag.[69] Alexander Verkhovsky, the head of a Moscow-based center that monitors hate crime in Russia, said, "It looks like this is the real thing. The killing is genuine ... There are similar videos from the Chechen war. But this is the first time the killing appears to have been done intentionally."[70] A Russian neo-Nazi group called the Russian National Socialist Party claimed responsibility for the murders.

Actually you should look a bit closer and use that education of yours, because that what you circled is a German flag that has black, red and gold and it has nothing to do with neo-Nazi as that is only an assumption made by you.
Also know that just because you may be from Germany it doesn't make you a neo-Nazi. And you have no proof that the man in your picture is anything other than a Ukraine citizen that has a jacket that has a German flag on it.
Why are you spreading propaganda without proof that backs your claim?
The group also engaged in the ethnic cleansing and killing of Poles from many towns and villages of western Ukraine.[1][2] The group was the military wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists—Bandera faction (the OUN-B),

Does anybody here that uses the term facist have any even what it means? Clearly not. I get it is a bad word in europe so anytime somebody is against they are called a facist but, man is does get old. Are there facists groups that support Ukraine? Sure. Are their facist groups that support Russia? Sure. Facism pushes the supremacy of state. Supporters on both sides in a conflct often begin to fall in to that area. The question is who cares? Communist, monarchists. republicans, socialists, greens and people of every political spectrum support the side they chose to. However to try and paint on side as facist is just stupid.

All former communist countries currently favor fascism because its the opposite of Communism. In about 20 years the Pendulum will balance out in the middle. Its the normal path of primitive people to first embrace Communism and Tribalism, then Fascism and Despotism before they advance to more pleasant modes of conduct.
you can read about ethnic cleansing they committed against Poles in WW2
www.volhyniamassacre.eu...
Circassians, the indigenous peoples of this region were cleansed[2] from their homeland at the end of the Russo-Circassian War by victorious Russia. The expulsion was launched even before the end of the war in 1864 and it continued into the 1870s[citation needed], although it was mostly completed by 1867. The peoples involved were mainly the Circassians (Adyghe in their own language), Ubykhs, Kabarday, Abkhaz, and Abaza.
Right Sector use the same ideology.

Well it seems that Russia has some who have the same ideology as Right Sector, so does that mean all of Russia has the same ideology because that is what your saying about Ukraine?

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Communism is not tribalism, and fascism and despotism are not the same either. And your theory of the evolution of political change from "tribalistic" communism to fascism as a "more pleasant" way of life is in total contradiction to universally accepted social science in academia.
Prove it.
By the way, did you see my earlier post sourced from an Ukrainian embassy website that quoted the prime minister as saying the rebels in the east are "subhumans" and they will be "wiped out" because they are "evil"?
Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's deputy prime minister, has posted a tweet saying his next flight over Romania will be in a TU-160 bomber aircraft after he was denied access to the country's airspace.

Thats because "social sciences of Academia" are biased toward the far-left.
Secondly, I didnt say fascism is more pleasant. Communism and Fascism are the two sides of the pyramids bottom. Historically speaking, the pendulum goes back and forth, until it goes more center and then upwards.
And regardless of whether you think it "makes sense" or not, if you listen to Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Georgians, etc. talk you will hear that their newly found fascism is a reaction to their previous communism.

Ah yes the prove it card.
Did you know that Russia had a facist party that had a very interesting flag?
en.wikipedia.org...
But now does that mean the whole of Russia has the same ideology of this group...No it doesn't, but for some reason you keep wanting to say the whole of Ukraine gov't have this same ideology that the Right Sector has without any proof showing this to be true.

And the man has the right to speak his opinion, now I see you may have forgotten this little gem from a Russian PM...

It's okay to threaten another country with a bomber, but when you tell your personal feelings about another it is wrong.
Where was your uproar when that happened?
It's okay if Russia does it but someone else does it and the Russian media is in an uproar...Do you see the irony in that?
And you managed to prove absolutely nothing. What a surprise! There's a fascist party in Russia, just like in every country in the world! Obviously the Russian government must be fascist because of this fact!
Now, can you please stop derailing this thread? This thread is not about Russia, it's about Ukraine.
