Patriotism and nationalism are not the same evil. If Russia is to win this battle, it will not come by way of these far-right fools hoping to align with her but because those on the left roll over and say, ‘Take our country, it is a stupid country, a bad country, we have no use for it. This can’t possibly be worse than it already is.’ This nihilism has been the devised plan of the Kremlin all along.
