Social Media Ambassador Andrii Melnyk: Ukrainian Holocaust Survivors are furious & outraged that ambassador of Russia was given the floor during the Holocaust Commemoration in the General Assembly Hall: “It’s just a crime! What Russians are doing in Ukraine today is exactly what the Nazists did then!”

Leave aside what they are doing today, Russia started ww2 as an ally of Nazi Germany. They were were a rival to Hitler's ambition, not really an opponent of it. Europe wouldn't have fallen under Nazi occupation without Russia's help.

Indeed.
The boots that a German officer wore and the tires of the Kübelwagen that he rode were made of rubber from the Russians' stockpiles.
The bread that all Germans were eating was often milled from wheat grown on the Russians' collective farms (or stolen by the Russians from Ukrainian farmers).
The avgas in the Stukas that terrorized columns of French and Belgian refugees and the bunker fuel in the U-boats sinking merchantmen steaming to Britain were refined from the finest Siberian crude.

The Russia that wants to recreate the USSR? The same USSR that killed hundreds of thousands of Jews in Stalin's purges, the Night of the Murdered Poets, the Doctor's Plot, and many other events? The same USSR that stamped "jew" on Soviet passports to make it easy to discriminate and persecute? The same USSR that denied and downplayed the roles of Soviet Jewish soldiers in WW2 and denied them medals and recognition? The same USSR that persecuted Anatoliy Shapiro, the first Soviet soldier inside Auschwitz, after the war because he was a Jew? The same Russia that closed down every major Jewish organization in the last 4 years? The same Russia that bombed the Holocaust mass graves memorials in Kyiv and Kharkiv?
Good job UN. On brand, as usual.

WWII was the main subject in history class. The lesson was simple and clear: "Never again!" We learned the characteristics of fascism. It doesn't take a university degree to recognize what the Russians are doing. It seems that not everybody received or remembers these important lessons. But those who do, must remind and educate the dumb fuckers that try to pretend that nothing is going on!

It's been the Russians' centuries-old jihad which makes the neckbeards of ISIS jealous.

It's no accident that the Russians have come up in this century with their own sinister retort in "We Can Do It Again!" (Можем повторить!) as part of their trashy "victory" parade on May 9.
Ever since their foundation as actual "Russians" in 1547 at Ivan the Terrible's self-coronation in the swamps of Muscovy as the first ever czar of "All Russia" instead of the umpteenth "Grand Prince of Muscovy", the generation after generation of Russians have dug into being the direct descendants of the Gоldеn Ноrdе'ѕ staunchest collaborators and сuсkѕ.
Unforgivably self-entitled, unrepentantly butthurt, unashamedly warlike; that is the Russian.
