Deviation Actions
Putin is a fascist pig.
Russia is an imperialist autocracy based around a cult of tradition, the rejection of modernity, considers disagreement to be treason, is based on appeal to a frustrated middle class, is obsessed with purported plots against it, casts their opponents as simultaneously too strong and too weak, considers life to be permanent warfare, promotes contempt for the weak, is based in machismo and selective populism, uses newspeak, and at least arguably follows the cult of action for action's sake and educates everybody to be a hero and has an obsessive cult of death around the "Great Patriotic War" and everyone who died in it. And Russia is absolutely an example of palingenetic ultranationalism.
Also, in his speech Putin described "national-traitors" and said that they are bugs spitted out (dehumanizing them and describing them as vermin), and how this NATURAL SELF-CLEANSING of the nation is beneficial. All of these are fascist talking points.
Leader of an imaginary country Denis Pushilin rewards a soldier for something:
For some reason the soldier has Totenkopf on his sleeve. Underneath it there is the symbol that Rusich-group uses: https://cheesecake.articleassets.meaww.com/562988/uploads/ac485610-958a-11ec-b4dc-419c22f9af4b_800_420.jpeg However, the official symbol of Rusich-group is this, perhaps it rings some bells?

So all the talk about "denazification" is nonsense. Putin is fine with fascism and Nazis as long as they serve his interests. That is why United Russia, Putin's party, is friends with parties like AfD. More russofascism: https://lansinginstitute.org/2022/05/26/nazism-emerges-in-russia-as-russian-neo-nazis-fight-in-ukraine/
