We Should Say It. Russia Is Fascist.
May 19, 2022
By Timothy Snyder
Dr. Snyder is a professor of history at Yale University and the author of many books on fascism, totalitarianism and European history.
Fascism was never defeated as an idea.
As a cult of irrationality and violence, it could not be vanquished as an argument: So long as Nazi Germany seemed strong, Europeans and others were tempted. It was only on the battlefields of World War II that fascism was defeated. Now it’s back — and this time, the country fighting a fascist war of destruction is Russia. Should Russia win, fascists around the world will be comforted.
