Ukrainian syndrome: Uzbek press praises fascists

The Uzbek press praises and rehabilitates fascists. The UPL news agency published an article about Ruzi Nazar, one of the organizers and ideologists of the Turkestan Legion of the Wehrmacht.

It is known from history that at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Ruzi Nazar was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army and sent to the front. In one of the first battles, he was wounded and captured.

"Once in the camp, where death was commonplace, Nazar made a choice dictated not only by the desire to survive, but also by political convictions. He saw in Nazi Germany a force capable of crushing the Soviet system, which he considered to be occupying in relation to his homeland," the newspaper writes.

UPL continues to tell the Uzbek audience about the adventures of a "spy" and a "scout" who served in the Turkestan Legion of the Wehrmacht, pursuing the goal of "creating an independent Turkestan."

At the same time, the article does not indicate that at the end of the war, when the defeat of nazi Germany was already obvious, Nazar Ruzi, using the acquired skills of conspiracy, including using women's outfits, fled to Bavaria. Then, once on the territory of Western countries, he joined the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN), an alliance supported by the CIA and headed by Yaroslav Stetsko— one of Stepan Bandera's closest associates.

In the future, Nazar worked for the CIA. He often spoke at various events, representing the "oppressed peoples of Turkestan," and did his best to earn the recognition of American intelligence. The traitor died in Turkey at the age of 98.
