I think we all know Russia does not care about fascism in Ukraine. Otherwise this shit would've happened ages ago (like, right after Euromaiden). Its a capitalist war for capitalist reasons.

It's a strategic war for strategic reasons. If Russia was feudalist or socialist it would still have done this because it was required by the strategic landscape.

I mean, fascism is explicitly anti-Russian. Russia cares very deeply about fascism, even if the modern state has strong reactionary tendencies in other ways.

Nazism is explicitly anti-slav. Fascism is just as ghoulish, eugenicist, and horrific, but on paper it isn’t inherently genocidal against Slavs and Jews as Nazism is.

I'm sure there are plenty of people in the government who don't particularly care, but the average Russian almost certainly does, especially when the fascists are killing Russian-speaking civilians; the KPRF was a very prominent voice for intervening to protect the DPR and LPR

Since when do the opinions of regular people decide government policy under capitalism? Maybe I'm just used to the US where the average citizen has zero voice but is that not the same across all capitalist countries?
