Italian and German fascism lasted relatively short period of time. Generation that "invented" it had a chance to change their mind.

Russian fascism runs for multiple generations. Russia never was democratic. Russian mentality is to have an aggressive leader ("бьёт - значит любит").

Navalny is perceived as an alternative to Putin, but he supported Crimean annexation and Georgian war. There is no evidence the remedies that worked for Nazi Germany will work for Russia.



The de-totalitarianization of the people will have to be all the more thorough.
