If you ever doubted the horrifying effectiveness of the Allied 'denazification'-campaign, consider that Germany moved from this:

...to this:

...in less than a century.
German foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier confirms what I have written above:
https://www.archyde.com/comment-on-nord-stream-2-ukraine-criticizes-steinmeier/Then the Federal President was asked about Nord Stream 2. The energy relations are “almost the last bridge between Russia and Europe,” Steinmeier said. [...]
Subsequently, however, the president used a reference to German history as an argument for his energy policy line. He pointed out that Germany had to keep an eye on the historical dimension and recalled the German attack on the Soviet Union in World War II, which took place for the 80th time on June 22nd. “More than 20 million people in the former Soviet Union fell victim to the war. This does not justify any misconduct in Russian politics today, but we must not lose sight of the bigger picture, ”said Steinmeier.
In this regard, the response of the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, is just plain cringeworthy:
Melnyk accuses the Federal President of not having explicitly mentioned the many millions of victims of the Nazi dictatorship in Ukraine in this context.
Germany is russophile
because it is anti-National Socialism and thus receptive to the
Russian view on World War 2 (scroll to 'Russia and Israel join forces regarding memory politics'). Trying to paint Ukraine as yet another victim of National Socialism just validates the view that National Socialism is bad, which in turn validates the view that the Soviet Union is good, as it fought against National Socialist Germany, which in turn validates the view that Russia is good, as it brands itself the successor state of the SU, which in turn validates the view that Russian influence is good, which in turn validates the view that Ukraine is bad, as it is resisting Russian influence.
The author of the piece points at another issue with Melnyk's argument:
Steinmeier had not explicitly mentioned the Ukrainian or Belarusian victims, but probably wanted to include them by referring to the “Soviet Union”, since Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union at the time.
Ukraine was part of the SU as the critical mass of its population, if not wholesale fallen to Bolshevism, at least failed to mount an effective resistance to it, thus tacitly acquiescing to Soviet occupation. Thus, the 'Ukrainian' victims of National Socialist Germany didn't die as 'Ukrainians' in any meaningful sense, but as 'Soviet people', thus, once more considering that Russia brands itself as the SU's successor state, by extension, as Russians. So Steinmeier is correct including all Soviet victims of National Socialist Germany on the Russian side of history.
If Melnyk wants to effectively counter post-WW2 German russophilia, he should first encourage his German colleagues to view Germany's WW2 history in a positive and accordingly the SU and Russia in a negative light. This will in turn increase sympathy for those
authentic Ukrainians who fought the SU alongside their German comrades, as well as their spiritual successors, who today are fighting the Russians on the battlefields of the Donbas, continuing Hitler's anti-Turanist struggle. Ultimately, the Germans would lose all interest in any Nord Stream 2-kind of fuckery.
By the way, note how much Steinmeier resembles his
Turanian Untermensch-buddies with his flabby, degenerate face:
The same goes for other Nord Stream 2-apologists, such as Manuela Schwesig...
...Olaf Scholz...
...and of course, Russian gas-addict no. 1, Gerhard Schroeder:
In contrast, this is what Andriy Melnyk looks like:
The racial frontline never changes.
