Yeah but a lot has changed since 1991. Wagner was named after Hitler’s favorite composer, and I don’t think that was a mistake. I suppose outright putting up a statue of a Nazi is still taboo there though.
Odd because the Russian right has openly embraced neo Nazis. Russian soldiers are doing Nazi salutes or having Nazi tattoos. Nazi gangs attack people up in the cities. Etc
Russia really doesn’t like Nazis, after what they did to the USSR. Rehabilitation of nazisism and holocaust denial are illegal there.
