According to a report in Rolling Stone Magazine, a Russian-linked Jewish businessman paid locals to spray-paint swastikas in Kharkiv, in order to depict Ukrainians as Nazis. Nazi symbols were reportedly painted in Kyiv as well.
The report quoted an anonymous US official who confirmed the allegations, saying they were well-known inside US intel agencies.
If true, the news is especially significant because Russia has repeatedly claimed its invasion is a “special military operation” to “demilitarize and de-Nazify” the country.
Here's Kharkiv, a major target. That last piece of graffiti is all over the city. Nazis paint swastikas on walls, and locals turn them into windows. pic.twitter.com/4ayUMQsUjr

The story identifies the Oligarch as Pavel Fuks, who amassed most of his wealth from companies in Russia.
Fuks was allegedly “persuaded” by Russian agents to pay thugs to spray Nazi graffiti in Kharkiv, from December through February, when the invasion took place.
The story’s main source says that the Fuks defended himself by saying “he had no choice” and was told that if he did not comply, he would need to cease doing business in Russia.
In addition to his Jewish heritage, Fuks has a history of donating to Jewish causes in Ukraine, including the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial in Kyiv.
This is not the first time the Russians have used Nazi symbols to create unrest.
Former KGB general Oleg Kalugin wrote that Soviet spies vandalized shuls and Jewish cemeteries in New York and Washington during the Cold War.
In February 2020, Russian lawmakers lifted a ban on Nazi symbols, as long as they promote a “negative attitude to Nazi ideology and extremism.”
With their sordid history, nothing surprises me about how low Russians will go to get what they want.
Working for bloody Putin to scrawl nazi symbols is a desecration of the dead. End of story.
Well yes. In the 1960s, the Soviets paid to have Jewish properties in New York vandalized in the same way. They were trying to stir up trouble between Blacks and Jews.
I just read a wonderful book about Soviet/Russian dirty tricks like this.
Did a Jewish businessman paint the Nazi Azov Batallion into existence? This is bs onyhe level of the intelligence officials coming out and calling the hunter Biden laptop rissian disinformation
This may be a true or false story. But what is a fact….Zelinsky has banned all of his opposing political parties EXCEPT the Nazi party. Yes, an actual Nazi party (not neo-Nazi). The Nazi party even has their own brigade within the Ukrainian army. Something is very wrong here. Don’t be so fast to prop Zelinsky up as a hero for democracy.
Maybe Putin wasn’t so far off with his Nazi allegations (not an excuse to invade, but still an interesting fact).
some facts, Zelensky has banned all opposition parties AND opposition media in the name of fighting “disninformation”, fact Azov battalion is financed by Chabad donor and Jew and Israeli citizen Igor Kolomosky, fact Fuks financed the above, fact Hunter Biden story is 100% true.
Oh, so that’s (Russia) from whom the Zionists learned to do this type of thing.
