Russians were "brainwashed" like in Nazi Germany – Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman

Chief Rabbi of the Brodsky Synagogue in Kyiv and Head of the All-Ukrainian Congress of Jewish Hasidic Religious Communities, Moshe Reuven Azman said it in a blitz interview with RBC-Ukraine.

According to him, Russian propaganda is a terrible thing.

"They brainwashed people - just like it was done in Nazi Germany before the war. That is, people are zombified, people claim that black is white, people do not want to listen and do not want to believe in the facts, in what is happening," Rabbi Azman said.

At the same time, he noted that the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine opened the eyes of many. In particular, Moshe Reuven Azman spoke about some of his friends who, while in Ukraine, "were zombified by this propaganda."

"They also said some nonsense about the Nazis who are here around them. And now that the war has begun, some of these people have enrolled in the Territorial Defense. I'm shocked: how come? They say their eyes opened after witnessing the horrors happening here," said Moshe Reuven Azman.

He added that Jews and Russians living in Ukraine support the Ukrainian army.
