How russia promotes the myth of “Ukrainian Nazism” among foreign youth
At the “International Youth Festival — 2026” in yekaterinburg, russia, a propaganda exhibition aimed at discrediting Ukraine and justifying the armed aggression against our country was opened.
▫️ The exhibition, titled “Memory Catastrophe. Neo-Nazism in the 21st Century,” is presented in seven languages. The organizers are attempting to artificially equate modern Ukrainians with Nazis and accuse Ukraine of “crimes from 2014 to 2026,” manipulating archival documents and facts from World War II.
▫️ This disinformation product is aimed at a foreign audience. Pseudo-historical narratives about “Ukrainian Nazism” are promoted at the festival in an attempt to shape a distorted perception of the war among young people from Africa, Asia, and Latin America and justify russian war crimes.
The event itself is presented as a “fun youth celebration” featuring discussions about the future, technology, and cultural exchange. In reality, the festival in yekaterinburg is yet another platform for kremlin propaganda.
