Who is Putin really fighting?: ibition at Moscow’s Victory Museum attempts to draw comparisons between Nazi Germany and modern-day Ukraine
When announcing the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin justified the "special military operation" by invoking World War II. Russian officials and propagandists on state television have been echoing Putin's claims about the need to "demilitarize and denazify Ukraine" ever since. In a similar vein, since mid-April, Moscow's Museum of the Great Patriotic War (also known as the Victory Museum) has been running an exhibition that supposedly traces the development of a "Ukrainian version of Nazism" from World War II to the present day. Upon visiting the exhibition, Meduza found a bizarre mishmash of information ripped from the Internet, memorabilia from Nazi Germany, and decontextualized TikTok videos from the ongoing war.
