Sure, Russia now has its own share of neo Nazis and indeed its own shady neo Nazi private quasi army - same as lots of other countries in the region including Ukraine - that it keeps very quiet about. But your average Russian knows plenty about the third Reich.
Right now Russia is pushing the line that it did it all on its own.
it isn't true.

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

if you want to know how Russian soldiers behaved in their 'defeat' of Nazism, read "A Woman in Berlin" by Anonymous, or read accounts of grandparental experience of what happened when the Russian troops came through

and then read the stories of what's happening in Ukraine now, where the Russians have occupied towns.
Before this war, I thought Russia was a modernizing land. In truth, I think now that the culture is medieval .. .and I've seen some of the best and also the worst of UK towns and behaviour. But the UK, for all its very serious social problems, is worlds above the Russian army in terms of behaviour, training, skills and decency.
