    Yeah the ultranationalists are neo-nazis, no doubt about that.

    But the Russian government themselves aren’t yet to that level of extremism despite pushing the ideology in Western nations. Yeah, Russia is imperialist and invades their neighbours, yeah, you can argue that war is genocide, but this doesn’t make them Nazi Germany.

    Nazis believed themselves to be a master race, and so far, the Russian government hasn’t shown any signs of such beliefs.
