the german invasion of russia killed more than 25 million russians, about one sixth of the population. that means every russian alive in the first half of the 1940s knew many, many people, from relatives to friends to acquaintances, who died due to hitler's invasion. of course russian nationalists hate nazism and what it stands for.  russians will accept jews who assimilate and become russians, just as russia will accept americans who immigrate and integrate. but putin is no friend of zionism. netanyahoo hates him for supporting syria, iran, and the islamist militant organizations fighting israel.
