OK apparently the perception of Ukraine being associated with Nazism stems from WWII-era nationalist collaborations, Soviet-era propaganda, post-Soviet ultranationalist groups (disavowed by government), and ongoing Russian disinformation.

Fair points. The azov battalion is still flying the modified ss/wolfsangel even after most of them got obliterated in Mariupol. Russia likes to point this out yes, but Russia also had the Wagner group (named after hitlers favorite composer) which was founded by Dmitry Utkin, a legit neo nazi, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
