Ukraine: debunking Russia's war propaganda

Text

[9]In Episode 136 [10] of the CounterVortex podcast [11], Bill Weinberg debunks Vladimir Putin's "de-Nazification" propaganda for his invasion of Ukraine, a paramount example of the ultra-cynical phenomenon of paradoxical fascist pseudo-anti-fascism [12]. Putin's stated justifications for the Ukraine war are either paranoid delusions or outright lies. His real objectives are to rebuild the Russian Empire, re-establish the Russian dictatorship, and exterminate Ukraine as a cultural and political entity. These are the open aims of Alexander Dugin [13], the intellectual mastermind of Putin's revanchist imperial project, and the political heir of Ivan Ilyin [14], the 20th century theorist of "Russian Fascism."
