Goebbels, Brand Management, and Genocidal Myth Making | Learner's Digest S3.4
In the modern discourse it seems, any political opponent is immediately a "Nazi", and any historical grievance is a "genocide".
The problem is obvious and three-fold:
I can think of no example more insane than the whitewashing of the Ukrainian Nazi collaborators Bandera and Shukhevich, their organizations OUN and UPA, and their modern Ukrainian equivalents such as Azov, S14, and the Right Sector—and at the same time bringing out all the decades of smear campaigns against the USSR and Russia, accusing them of multiple genocides.
Though maybe "Holodomor" myth is at least equally insane.
Russophobia deserves its own post, and so do the Ukrainian Nazis both historical and modern. For now, I'll look at genocide accusations against the historical and modern Russias.
