Yes, the war, historically, of course, puts forward and makes the more nationalist views and forces turn them from marginal forces into more central ones. We talked about Bandera, and we talked about Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. They were the most marginal group in the political spectrum in Ukraine in the 1930s that one can only imagine. But World War II comes.

And they become the most central group because they also were from the start go. They had the organization. The violence was basically one of their means. They knew how to fight. So historically, wars indeed produce those results. So we are looking at Ukraine. We are trying to see what is happening there.

Denazification is the trope that is accepted quite well by the by the former Soviet population and Russian population in particular. The most powerful Soviet mythology that then was basically passed as part of heritage to the Russian Federation was World War II, was fighting against fascism.

So once you use terms fascism and Nazi and denazification, suddenly people not just start listening, they just stop analyzing. As a propaganda tool, this is, of course, a very powerful tool. In terms of to what degree this is the real goal or not, we discussed the importance of the far right in Europe and in Ukraine.

If that's the real goal of the war, probably the war would have to start not against Ukraine, but probably against France or some other country if you take this at face value.

I would say this is broader. The war that started under the banner that Russians and Ukrainians were one and the same people and produces that sort of casualty really goes against also any sort of logical thinking. But Russia is a place where the free press doesn't exist already for a long period of time. Russia is the place where there is an echo chamber to a degree.

As war started first in 2014 and then all-out war in 2022, I came across a lot of people on the personal level but also in the media reporting that they really can't find common language with their close relatives in Russia. people who visited Ukraine who know that it is not taken over by nationalists and is not taken over by Nazis.

But the media around them, the neighbors around them, the people at their work basically say one and the same thing. And we as humans in general, whatever our background, we are very, very, our mind is really, it's relatively easy to manipulate it.
