 Putin imitates Hitler, expert warns of the risk of a repeat of a major war. The risks of another major war are growing. But there is no reliable way to understand what historical period we are in. As Nikolai Beleskov, a researcher at the National Institute for Strategic Studies and a senior analyst at the Ukrainian Public Organization, Come Back Alive, stated for Channel 24, Germany needed two world wars with global defeat and occupation to learn to be a civilized country. Would such a scenario happen in the event with Russia when our partners behave extremely cautiously? It is not known. Unfortunately, one of the scenarios that we must take into account is a relapse into a big war, although there are some Western colleagues who believe that we are already going through the stage of a Weimar syndrome and the New Hitler. So if we defeat Russia now, they will begin to suffer what happened there after 1945 in Germany, although any historical analogies are a very changeable topic. The expert said, Beleskov finds much in common in the policies of Hitler and Putin. The Russians, according to the analyst, may crave revenge after defeat. That is, there are different scenarios, different ways of looking at what is happening. We can assume that unfortunately, if there is no such a decisive Ukrainian victory by military means and the fighting ends peacefully in our favor, the Russians will develop resentment and revanchism. Under the stories about, we are betrayed inside, a knife was stabbed in our back, or if we prepare better, develop some more effective method of war, this time it will work. It may turn out that Russia is already going through its Versailles or post-Versailles period with Hitler. No matter how much this analogy was ridiculed after the events of 2014, Putin really imitates the behavior of Adolf Hitler. Beleskov added, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in January of this year that Russia is preparing for revenge and is accumulating strength, but must lose. The head of the main intelligence directorate, Kirill Budanov, suggests that Russia will want to take revenge even after Ukraine's victory in the war.
