Rashism

Rashism (portmanteau of "Russian fascism"), also referred to as Ruscism, is a propaganda term invented by supporters of Ukrainian nationalism to create a false equivalence between Putinist Russia and fascism, particularly to distract from the fascist and Nazi roots of the opposing Ukrainian ultranationalist forces (persisting to this day), which are collaborating with the Zelensky-led government. The term also applies the term "fascism" in a silly and vague manner without any consideration for whether Russia embodies the characteristics of fascism, which is properly defined as national syndicalism with an actualist philosophy.
