A mini THREAD Many publish angry tweets about Russian ex-DeputyPM and now Head of Space Agency Dmitry Rogozin's tweets, where he calls to wipe out Ukraine once and forever, and praises Serbian war criminals Karajic and Mladic. This shows, how little the West know about RU leaders

The trick is, that Rogozin was always a pure, crystal-clear Nazi. Not a "far right", not a "radical", but a Russian Nazi. And not, this was not "sins of the youth". Hear a very adult Rogozin holds a speech in Moscow center under a Swastika banner of RNE, Russian National Unity /2

Just imagine. This guy oversees the whole Russian space program (recently RosKosmos has confirmed, that it is not only a science-and-peace corporation, but produces all Russian ICBMs). A former Deputy Prime Mister. And he is a NAZI. Nuclear Nazi. /3

Rogozin was a fan of Nazism from his early years. Here is his photo Hitler-saluting with a poster "The Whites of all nations, unite!" Another photo - he holds a speech under a poster "Jewish Fascism is the most dangerous thing". Close to Rogozin - Nazi guru Konstantin Krylov /4

A side note: Krylov (who has died recently) was a writer and philosopher, a creator of "deep and intellectual" version of Russian Nazism. His idea was, that Russia is occupied by an alliance of Jews (bosses) and Chechens (killers), who exploit Russians /5

Krylov believed, Nazism is a tool to create an effective victorious society. He pushed his idea, that the USSR was fighting against a "proto-EU", and the National-Socialism is a tool, Moscow has conquered and now need to use its power. "We are victors, and may use NatSocialism!"

Once again: on this pic Russian Deputy-PM and Head of Space Agency with its nuclear program Rogozin is standing under a poster about dangerous Jews close to a guy who urges to "use the power of National-Socialism" to create stronger Russia in its eternal fight against the West /7

What was Rogozin's political career all these yrs? Well, mostly Nazism. He was a co-head of "Rodina" (Fatherland) party. Here is their ad: an Aryan Russian mother being harassed by migrants, Rogozin saves her. The ad called to "cleans the city from trash"

If you think, Russia would not send a Nazi as its international envoy, you are wrong. In 2002-2003 Rogozin was a Russian negotiator with Lithuania on Kaliningrad issue. Later a Russian negotiator for Anti-Missile Defence talks. He was also appointed as Russian envoy to Nato 2008

Yes, I have forgotten to mention: in 1992 Rogozin was a member of pro-Soviet neo-Nazi "Congress of Russian Communities", and fought in Moldova on a side of Russian mercenaries. This photo is reportedly from 1992, showing him having some fun with friends in Moldova.

As an envoy to Nato, Rogozin did exactly what a Nazi would do. He spread hate and threats. Leaving Brussels in 2012, he planted two poplars in the Embassy's yard, saying "Nato needs poplars". Poplar is "Topol" in RU, a name for a nuclear ICBM. RU state media celebrated his "joke"

Yes, if you think, Maidan revolution in 2013/14 was a reason for Russians to threaten Nato with nukes, think twice. Rogozin clearly threatened Nato with a nuclear strike in 2012, and Russian propaganda media celebrated it, bringing "Topol-M" (a clear name of ICBM) to the title.

As in 2014 Romania has closed its airspace for Rogozin's plane, Rogozin wrote, "next time I will fly with a Tu-160 (nuclear-capable strategic bomber)". Russian media celebrated it again.

I don't think I need to go on. It is already clear: the guy is a Nazi with several decades of impressive Nazi career. He was picked by Kremlin because he was a nuclear-threatening Nazi. To call for genocide, to threaten free nations is what he does. He is a Russian top official.
