Are Russia the Nazis

Is Dmitry Utkin a Nazi?

The famous picture that is circulating everywhere when it comes to Russia being the Nazis, is the one picture with Dmitry Utkin with the swastika's on his neck.

About Dmitry Utkin

Dmitry Utkin served in the GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) - special service, foreign intelligence agency of the Ministry of Defense) was, so to speak, an operative. they have all sorts of tattoos banned, retired at the age of 43 with the rank of colonel, I don’t think that an officer at that age does childish things and puts Nazi tattoos on his body. those photos that the enemies of the Russian Federation show as evidence, the person is very similar to them, but the evidence of the level * I think he looks like a Utkin *.

There has not been any public statement from Dmitry Utkin that is in support of the theory that he is a Nazi.

GRU have rules about having "certain" tattoos, on this website it says literally the following. Tattoos in the special forces are prohibited for well-known reasons, so they are made when leaving for demobilization or after the end of their service life.

Who is really in the photo above?
Some suggest that this is the man in the photo, and not Dmitry Utkin

People will say, he might have aged, here is a comparison of both, left is from december 2016, right is from 2021.

The name, Wagner

Now, people would immediately ask, why the name Wagner? (only Nazis like Wagner)

There is a legend that while doing their work in the LPR, Utkin and his detachment helped in the analysis of the rubble after bombing of an music school, there he caught the eye of a book about Richard Wagner (perhaps the notes of his works) and he took this call sign for himself.

This legend was featured in the film *Solnetsepek (2021)*. a film about the events in Luhansk.

In the film, it was featured like this - a music teacher, after the bombing and the death of his students, signed up for the territorial defense. He always carried a book about Richard Wagner with him. after a mortar shelling, a group of Utkin (he is not named in the film but is clearly a reference to him) finds this music teacher killed and a book next to him.

Here you can see that feature in the film

Nazis in Russia

If someone can be accused of Nazi ideology, then it is better to look towards the DSHRG Rusich. or towards the battalion * Hispaniola *. the head of Rusich Milchakov frankly stated in an interview that he was an adherent of Nazism (although in his detachment of multi-fighters of different nationalities), the Battalion * Espanyol * consists entirely of football fans in the most terrible sense of this term.

Regarding Russia being a Nazi country, one have to remember, there is over 200 nationalities in Russia, living in harmony, Nazi propaganda have been banned in Russia in 2014.
There are videos on YouTube with what could be perceived as Nazi marches, prior to this ban.
