Russia was an ally of Germany via their non-aggression pact of 1939 until Germany tried to invade them and ended the alliance in 1941. Not a very long lived alliance, but it tells a little more of the story.
Trying to wrap the current situation around 80-year-old contexts is obviously bound to fail. Then is then, now is now. The people are different, the systems are different, the power axes are different.
Sorry, I saw Nazis in the parent post and didn't realize they meant neo-nazis. I was addressing their claim as written, not within the current context. And no, I don't think they should have to differentiate, a Nazi is a Nazi. I just don't pay that much attention sometimes.
