Ukrainian Nazis vs. Russian Oligarchs

On Episode 6 of Strange Bedfellows, I spoke to Russell Bentley, a Texas-born former American soldier now living in (and fighting for) Russia.

We talked about the history of Ukrainian nationalism, predating the alliance with Nazi Germany. Long before Nazi Germany even existed; before Nazism had a name, or a political party, it had a distinct ideology -- a kind of genocidal racism and rabid anti-#communism that fueled the pogroms against Jews and #communists in #Ukraine after World War One and the #Bolshevik revolution.

The Ukrainian nationalists were the O.G. #Nazis. The original gangsters.

As their ideological and biological descendants continue this hundred-year war against their former Soviet neighbors, Bentley says that many of his fellow #Donbass soldiers defending themselves from the #NazisInUkraine don't trust the Russian government anymore, either.

Being a #communist himself, Bentley views modern day capitalist Russia as a country ruled by oligarchs and war profiteers who are making billions off the prolonged military operation.

Bentley told me that "the greatest danger to #Russia's hopes for victory in this war against 21st Century #fascism is "the parasites and collaborators in Moscow. They are the enemies of the future of humanity."

As he sees it, "this is a war between the billionaire classes and the rest of us."
