Gergiev, Putin’s most loyal cultural ally who received the specially revived Hero of Labour award in 2013, has never hidden his loyalty to the Putin regime.

C'mon my Italian friends. Make it hell for the bastardo.

In the puzzle of how to defeat Russian imperialist colonialism, one of the missing pieces is what to do about all the appeasers, vatniks and traitors in democracies that advance the Russian agenda. I think during, for example WWII, people could not afford to just tolerate these types. We cannot either.

Denazification in Germany was a huge issue, since you can't just lock up a large part of your country.

It was really really easy in every other country, where the challenge was mostly "how to actually do this legally before mob justice does it". The answer was often "whoops".

Also, denazification didn't really work. Many Nazis kept their positions or were hired somewhere else, mostly free of consequences.

Yeah, that's one big problem when you've already decided your process will be successful before you get started. Because again, you can't lock up half your country for life.
