And Russian foreign office employees sport their trappings, very similar to Nazi one. A coincidence?

It's a diplomatic uniform that goes back to the Soviet Union. That's why it's less ostentatious than say a Commonwealth one.

The USSR official outfit and traditions are very often strikingly similar to those of nazi Germany. It doesn't reflect a great credit upon modern Russia (which claims to be the sole nazi-fighter in the world) to follow those trends.

The nazi's never pretended to be anything else other than those doing the exact same thing. I instinctively dislike Trump but the west still needs better relations with Russia, they seem to be the last sane man standing. Modern Russia might be just our best friends. The EU certainly isn't, the bullshit constrictor. They even are planning to abolish cash so that a negative interest on savings can be used when they screw up, what they always do, paying to save? Go team Putin

For your consideration, how could a Russian leader respond to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjCOJoytLNY

I can see the name of the name of who posted it, and what's above the video, but it's pretty wtf. How could there not be a response?

I thought we were through with the discussion of who is more nazi/criminal/racist and so on. My argument was that every country has nutjobs, even embracing the highest positions. Pointing to them and trying to turn a blind eye upon other countries will not prove anything.
As a reply to the video you linked: the Russian leader allowed a nazi to be a deputy head of the parliament in 2003-2004:

The same position is now held by Zhirinovsky - you can google yourself and find out about his bigotric lunatic ideas.

If you mean that Putin had a right to interfere into Ukrainian events after he had seen the video you refer to, then I will say that a sober- minded leader (of any country) ought to know better than to overreact after seeing nutjobs airing their views in public. Ohterwise Obama would have started a war with Russia each time he heard Zhirinovsky speaking. And he is not a random adventurer, but a deputy head of the parliament in 2000-2011.

Pfft it looks like a poorly fitted double blazer. More likely to be confused with an English naval officer or more likely postman if the colour was navy blue in the link.

One thing about the (Hugo Boss) Nazi Uniforms is that they looked sharp not baggy.

Ok not super relevant but I want to post this somewhere: for my birthday my father got me one of those fabled Putin calendars. Wasnt able to get it signed by the man himself. Still an amazing gift.
