Pyotr Krasnov, historian, antisemite and Nazi collaborator. Krasnov was a commander of the Don Cossacks who fought against the Communists during the Russian Civil War
Turns out commies really don’t like Nazis so it’s not surprising at all. Especially considering the geopolitical situation around that time. (Of course, Russia is absolutely not Communist now…)
I’m more surprised how few are shown in Argentina…
Yeah but a lot has changed since 1991. Wagner was named after Hitler’s favorite composer, and I don’t think that was a mistake. I suppose outright putting up a statue of a Nazi is still taboo there though.
Odd because the Russian right has openly embraced neo Nazis. Russian soldiers are doing Nazi salutes or having Nazi tattoos. Nazi gangs attack people up in the cities. Etc
I have a hard time believing there’s only one in Russia.

Looking into the specific monument, it appears to be in someone’s front garden, and there’s been legal attempts to have it removed.
Russia really doesn’t like Nazis, after what they did to the USSR. Rehabilitation of nazisism and holocaust denial are illegal there.
