Russia has been funding far-Right nationalist groups across Europe for decades.
Putin's go-to mercenaries, the Wagner Group, are so named because Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer.
The State Duma has over 20 members that could be classified as far-Right nationalists.

The name comes from the group's founder Dmitry Valerievich Utkin, who goes by the nomme de guerre of Wagner. So chosen because of Utkin's obsession with the Third Reich.

What don't you people understand??? The usual BS of it's Russian propaganda for a Russian false flag attack. Are you people real??? As I read it Russia is telling the world what's going to happen, by who and when. They are appealing to outside organisations ( the UN, the Red Cross and the OSCE, that's the Organisation for Security and Co-Operation in Europe) to stop this. These organisations are NOT Russian propaganda people they are people in the west, independent organisations. THAT in itself tells you that the Russians WANT these to be witnessed by independent observers.

Let me introduce you to Dmitry Utkin. Those tattoos certainly bear a striking resemblance to Nazi iconography.
PMC Wagner got its name from the call sign used by its commander, Dmitry Utkin, a former commando and a big fan of the attributes and ideology of the Third Reich. The unit is staffed by former military, special forces, veterans of law enforcement agencies.
