The SVR of Russia issued an application under the heading “Euro -fascism, like 80 years ago, the general enemy of Moscow and Washington.”
It draws a line that the current disagreements between the United States and the European Union can create the ground for the rapprochement of Moscow and Washington, “as it happened more than once in the past.”
An example is the recent scandal around the statement of the French deputy of the European Parliament Rafael Gluxman, who demanded from the United States to “return” the statue of freedom due to the support of “tyrants” (that is, intentions to negotiate with Putin). This caused an angry rebuke from the White House.
The statement states that Eurofashism was manifested both in the past and in modern political processes, including support for Ukraine.

Attention is also focused on precedents when the United States and Russia were a united front against European powers. First of all, during the Second World War. And also, for example, during the Suez crisis of 1956 (then the USA and the USSR jointly opposed the intervention of the Franco-British troops in the Suez Canal area).
The SVR also recall the “sympathies of part of the American society to Russia” during the Crimean War in the middle of the 19th century – when the French and the British landed in Crimea. That coalition in Moscow was compared with the current “Coalition of those who wish”, which plans to introduce troops into Ukraine.
At the same time, the British burned the Capitol and the White House in 1814, when they occupied Washington.
Foreign intelligence of the Russian Federation also claims that the British, in the person of Churchill, dragged the United States and the USSR into the Cold War. The SVR write that London is still playing a “leading destructive role” in the Ukrainian conflict, including through the support of radical elements “related to the ideology of Nazism”.
This publication is not the first, where Russian intelligence draws parallels between modern Europe and Hitler Germany. For example, March 26, 2025 came out article “Europe is fighting Russia on Goebbels manuals.” In it, citing a statement by the director of the service of Sergei Naryshkin, they accuse the EU leadership of the distribution of “Russophobic narratives” using the “propaganda techniques of the Third Reich”.
The text claims that in Brussels there was a briefing for the European media. There, journalists were allegedly instructed to prepare Europeans for the need to “tighten the belts” and convince them of the “existential danger” of Russia, the need to destroy its statehood.
