Damascus-SANA
With the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine to protect the Donbass region and the Ukrainian demilitarization, which has entered its second month, there has been much talk about the “neo-Nazis” and “extremist nationalists” who control the joints of government in Ukraine, and they are the same ones that a number of heads of state warned against in their words, including the Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Bashar al-Assad, who referred to them by his speech that Western countries support the terrorists in Syria and the Nazis in Ukraine, but many people still do not know who they are and where they came from?
Neo-Nazis are members of an extremist, racist, political, ideological movement that has been described by several terms, including “neo-fascism” or “neo-Nazism,” as it follows the goals and principles of the old Nazi movement that had its origin in Germany after the First World War. The movement was generally active in Western European countries as a direction Her interest in people with white skin is one of her anti-black, Asian, Semitic and Middle Eastern approach, according to the digital content archive of the Wayback Machine.
Some countries tried to confront this movement and its spread by banning the expression of ideas that supported Nazism, in addition to banning anything related to the symbols of Nazism, especially in Germany, where belonging to Nazism is a crime punishable by German law due to the destruction, wars and suffering caused by the former Nazi ideology for the population of Germany and Europe, according to the website Germany e-portal.
On the other hand, this movement received support from some political figures and parties from several countries, most of them in a secret way. One of its supporters was the German "National Socialist Party", which incites hostility to immigrants from Turks, Arabs, Africans and Asians and calls for their deportation from Germany. Therefore, it supported this racist movement and supporters of this movement began to spread In Europe they even appeared in France, Austria, Holland, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.
Those in charge of the movement tried, in their quest to increase and expand the number of its adherents, to attract mercenaries, the unemployed, young people, those who were dismissed from military service in European countries for various reasons, and prison graduates to lure them to join the movement and train them in fighting, street warfare, intimidation and provocative actions.
Over the past years, some Russian and international news agencies worked to raise awareness about the danger of this movement, and videos were published that showed the heinous criminal methods used by members of the neo-Nazi movement to kill minorities, but on the other hand, there was a Western media machine trying to reverse the image, cover and remove this information.
The neo-Nazi racist extremist ideology spread to some parts of Eastern Europe due to immigrants and others. Individuals from Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and even some media outlets indicated that there are elements of his supporters in the Israeli entity.
The neo-Nazis in European countries promote the idea that 70 percent of crimes and thefts that occur are due to the large number of foreigners in their countries, “and they mean non-Europeans,” meaning immigrants from other races, claiming that any race other than Europeans causes an imbalance in demographics, ancestry, and customs. And undesirable traditions in European society, especially if they are Muslims or from poor countries, and that they must be eliminated or fought in order to justify the goals of their movement, which was confirmed by an article about the penetration of the far-right published by the Deutsche Welle Academy in 2020 when it raised the issue of German comedian Edel Baeder being threatened with death by Before a signature bearing the sign "SS", the symbol associated with neo-Nazis, in addition to the messages of Nazi threats that swept the computers of the German state police of Hesse that year.
Russia, in recent years, has stressed the need to warn of the danger of this movement and its threat to the presence of Russian nationals, especially in the “Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk,” who have been subjected to major provocations by extremist Ukrainian nationalists, especially those who belong to the Ukrainian “Azov” battalion that bears the ideology of neo-Naziism with all its behavior and calls. The Russians are one of the repercussions of this movement after 2014, when its supporters became in many parts of the government in Ukraine alongside extremist national movements such as the right-wing sector, the Sovobda Party and the “Azov” battalion, who later joined under the brigades of the Ukrainian army and in the country’s political joints, and their extremist ideology dominated the actions of the Kyiv authorities .
Despite the West’s attempt to obscure these facts and distance these extremist movements from the Nazi character, many of the pictures that have recently spread of members of the extremist “Azov” brigade raising the Nazi emblem alongside theirs and the NATO logo confirm the validity of this information. Even the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights directed An explicit accusation of the “Azov” battalion in 2016 of committing crimes and grave violations of human rights as a result of the “Azov” militants planting their weapons and forces in civilian buildings, displacing residents and looting property, and issued a report about them, carried by the media, accusing the battalion of raping and torturing detainees in the Donbass region.
And a video published by Sputnik yesterday about a member of the Ukrainian “Azov” battalion, Artem Benov, who previously vowed to kill and mutilate the bodies of soldiers participating in the Russian operation in Ukraine, in his videos on social media, and who recently fled to Poland, showed him carrying the Nazi logo in a collar on his neck and a picture of Nazi symbols, which confirms the embodiment of This is the far-right battalion of neo-Nazi ideology.
President Vladimir Putin said in a televised speech on February 24 that some of the leading countries in NATO support the neo-Nazis in Ukraine and that the neo-Nazis in Ukraine seek to ignite war in the Crimea. He added: “Of course they are trying to enter the Crimea as well. to Donbass in their own way in order to kill defenseless citizens just as the gangs of Ukrainian nationalists (Hitler's accomplices during the Great Patriotic War) killed defenseless innocents.”
On the other hand, President Bashar al-Assad indicated during a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart on February 25 that the enemy that the Syrian and Russian armies are facing is one, in Syria it is extremism and in Ukraine it is Nazism, and that Western countries are using their dirty methods to support terrorists in Syria and the Nazis in Ukraine and in various places. From the world.
