Kremlin Aide Linked to Neo-Nazism Accused of Kidnapping Ukrainian Children for Russian Cadet Program

Alexei Petrov, a Kremlin official involved in the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia, was found to have been associated with white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements online as a teenager. Petrov's social media posts from 2011 to 2014 contained videos, images, and messages from far-right organizations promoting white racial supremacy, as well as slogans associated with neo-Nazism. While Petrov did not explicitly endorse these groups in his posts, his online associations raise concerns about his involvement in the deportation of Ukrainian children. Petrov, who is an advisor to Russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights, denies any links to neo-Nazi organizations.

Putin's Jewish friends call Zelensky a disgrace to the faith.

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, is viewed as a "disgrace" to his faith by other members of the religion. Putin accused Zelensky of covering for neo-Nazis and putting them on a pedestal. Former Israeli minister and Jewish Agency chief Natan Sharansky responded to Putin, saying Ukrainians should be proud of having elected a Jewish president. Putin's remarks appeared to go even further than ones made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier this year in which he conceded that Zelensky is Jewish but claimed that even Hitler had "Jewish blood."

Prigozhin's Political Ambitions Fueled by Wagner Scandal and Power Grab.

The Wagner group, known for carrying out the Kremlin's "de-Nazification" mission in Ukraine, is reportedly being led by a neo-Nazi named Dmitry Utkin, who signs off on correspondence with the symbol for the SS Nazi military unit and has a fondness for Nazism. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin did not deny Utkin's apparent neo-Nazi beliefs, instead stating that "in order to defeat Nazism, you must try it on yourself." Prigozhin also claimed that Utkin has a map of the Moscow Metro tattooed on his penis, visible to anyone who "sucks" on it. Ukrainian military intelligence previously identified Utkin as the real leader of Wagner, making all command decisions behind the scenes while Prigozhin serves as the public face of the group.
