    Why do all the nazis seem to like Russia so much? Weren’t we told that Russia is fighting nazis in Ukraine or could that have been a lie?

      Russia was an ally of Germany via their non-aggression pact of 1939 until Germany tried to invade them and ended the alliance in 1941. Not a very long lived alliance, but it tells a little more of the story.

        Trying to wrap the current situation around 80-year-old contexts is obviously bound to fail. Then is then, now is now. The people are different, the systems are different, the power axes are different.

          Molotov ribbentrop pact is a bit more than non-agression.

          They also shared technology for tanks, traded vast amounts of raw materials and split poland in two.
