So, many more people are raised right wing which may mean that way more people in the future are going to be right wing.

Don’t forget Castro’s Nazi applauding son

But wouldn’t Zelensky’s grandfather have lived in Ukraine whilst it was under Soviet control? He wouldn’t have had much choice in that case.

Look at the nazi that was just recently honored in Canada. They had a choice.

He was drafted, yes, but it’s not like there were no defecting fascists or other such factions. If he was Jewish (idk Zelensky’s specific ancestry and Judaism is traditionally matrilineal), then he probably sided with the Soviets because the Soviets sought to protect racial minorities from fascist butchers.

Even the “left” opposition of the Makhnovists had a real problem with members murdering Jews and other minorities. The “left” opposition otherwise (like whatever Sholem was doing before he left) had a very small presence.
