Despite Russia framing its actions in Ukraine as a 'Special Military Operation' for de-Nazification, President Putin's propaganda alleges Ukrainian genocide against Russian speakers and links the Ukrainian government to neo-Nazis

A Ukrainian soldier named Serhiy, returning from Russian captivity, has reportedly been found mutilated with swastikas carved into his forehead, as disclosed by Dr. Olexandr Turkevich, who is treating him.

The soldier, blindfolded during the ordeal, claimed Russian soldiers threatened to dismember him, citing accusations of fascism.

    Is there an actual history of this sort of thing or is it only from Inglorious Basterds?

      I’ve never seen it anywhere but in that movie (not a historian fwiw). So I’m fairly confident that it’s just the Russians being their usual asshole selves.
