Putin is against Nazis in Ukraine, but he loves them in Russia (link has some graphic videos)
The Russian government is now claiming that it had to invade Crimea, Ukraine in order to stop Nazis from taking over the country.
Russian UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin has been especially vocal about the Ukrainian Nazi threat, repeatedly lashing out at western governments for supporting what he calls fascist thugs in the country.
Russian propaganda organ RT (aka Russia Today) was more direct a week ago when, after expressing concern that the Ukrainians were taking down statues of Lenin that were still oddly ubiquitous in the country, Exit Communism. Enter Nazism?
Its therefore more than a tad ironic that Russian President Vladimir Putin, while terribly concerned about Ukraines made-up Nazi threat, couldnt care less about his own very real fascist thug problem at home.

By request.
Note: there are some very graphic and disturbing videos, especially for those who are against violence against Jews and gays.
