Russians and Ukrainians are very similar on a values and attitudes measurement. Some years ago I saw data assessing positions of various groups in the West and Europe. Eastern Europeans generally scored more nationalistic, Western Europeans more pozzed, and Americans in between but closer to Eastern Europeans than Western Europeans.
There are a lot of 'Nazis' in Russia. Some of which decry 'Nazis' in Ukraine. Dugin would be a good example. But what Russians actually mean when they talk about Nazis is Ukrainian Nazis that don't like Russia. It is propaganda.
Indeed, Russia's Communist Party, technically a far left group, is effectively a far right populist party - and arguably was from the middle Stalin period on.

That is a conservative not encumbered by the liberal theory constantly found among conservatives in the Anglosphere. He is also a conservative that has no problem associating with the far right in and of itself.

But those toughs that overthrew the more Russia friendly government were quickly sidelined by much less fascistic elements - as we have seen. But Putin's problem is these people like Right Sector, Azov, Svoboda, etc., hate Russia not that they are 'Nazis'.

Anyone fighting on the ukronazi side is fighting to keep the ability to torture and murder ethnic Russians.
Elensky himself is on video saying he wants to bomb their schools and make them hide in bunkers. Ukraine is a jewish op.

But the point is that Russia uses the Nazi label because it already has a bad smell. They'll deal with Nazis that are not hostile to Russia. Plainly. The key is whether 'Nazis' or any group is adversarial to Russian interests. Indeed, this should go without saying.

It's not so much that you don't know what you're talking about. It's that you apparently don't even know what you need to know to understand what I know. Anyone that understands Ukraine even going back to 2014 will immediately get what I'm saying. Instead you call me a cop.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin
In 1997, his article, "Fascism – Borderless and Red", described "national capitalism" as pre-empting the development of a "genuine, true, radically revolutionary and consistent, fascist fascism" in Russia. He believes that it was "by no means the racist and chauvinist aspects of National Socialism that determined the nature of its ideology. The excesses of this ideology in Germany are a matter exclusively of the Germans ... while Russian fascism is a combination of natural national conservatism with a passionate desire for true changes." The "Waffen-SS and especially the scientific sector of this organization, Ahnenerbe," was "an intellectual oasis in the framework of the National Socialist regime", according to him.

Dugin is a Eurasianist and a national bolshevik. He is not a National Socialist in any way, shape, or form.
