    That’s not even a lemmygrad user. Regardless, I think the point is that the people in power are Nazis. Not the general populace. Ukraine is tearing down victory monuments for Christ’s sakes. When Georgia starts doing that, I’ll definitely be sympathetic to calling their government Nazis.

      Yeah I don’t think “Ukrainians will never forgive the Red Army for liberating them from Nazis” meant “Ukrainian government”, sorry. More likely, this person thinks Ukraine was on the side of Nazis in WW2 which I’m seeing quite a lot too (not looking for examples though, sorry)

        How is it any different from saying “Americans” do such and such when their representatives say awful things? We know that there are American comrades, and we know that there are likely a great number more comrades in Ukraine. I really don’t think the post was meant to disparage all Ukrainians. Just the ones that support what their representatives are saying.
