I would hope you can at least see why I strongly oppose these kind of groups. War is bad, and Putin is an asshole. That's all very well and good, but Putin isn't worse than Hitler.
A Nazi police chief asking for a list of Jews should ring alarm bells. There should be a great deal of concern about such a development. It should be international news, rather than someone saying something stupid at a party. Those who supported Hitler before his crimes became clear, or those that allied with him for their own national security interests, it's a great source of historical shame. Try talking to Finns about their support for the Nazis in WWII. It's a national embarrassment. You can even argue they had no choice, but they're still ashamed of it. Rightly so.
We're not learning from history. Nazi ideology belongs in the bin of history. There is no excuse for clinging on to such an ideology. Thinking that Putin is worse and therefore Nazi groups are tolerable is a grave mistake.
