edit: i should make explicit. this meme is prodding at liberals humanizing the soldier of the 14th Waffen SS (1st Galicia) recently honoured in the canadian house of commons. this meme is showing off a ww2 ukrainian nazi unit in a fashion similarly done with the "brave soldiers of afghanistan" who would later become the taliban.
the joke is, we would eventually glorify and humanize them as well with enough time

i'm pretty sure this is a real person
edit: not that i'm saying that all people of the UA are nazis.
tbh this meme refers to the recent hunka debacle with how suddenly there was a massive influx of liberals in my country trying to blur the line, stating that the 14 waffen SS were simply fighting the USSR and how hitler was a "lesser evil".
i don't get why you feel this would be immediately modern Russian propaganda, this is literally a ww2 unit lmao.
not mine i just found it amusing that eventually we'll probably see some unironic post stating that "Hitler just wanted to solve the housing crisis, it was a difficult time, it was complicated, he was in a rock and a hard place, tough decisions were made"
