Then there’s Slavic neopaganism. Most of its followers are completely batshit insane. They’re usually far-right Russian ultranationalist groups who defend both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union at the same time solely because both were Russian and were great powers. Many historical Slavic neopagans were also batshit insane and held odd and contradictory views such as Mikhail Tukhachevsky. He was in a prison cell with Charles de Gaulle in WW1 and there, he went on a rant about how capital had cucked Russia. When asked by de Gaulle if we was a socialist, he said no and went on another rant about how socialism was a “Jewish conspiracy”. Despite his anti-socialism, he also supported Lenin and the Bolsheviks because he thought Russia needed to be “thrown into barbarism” and thought Lenin would do that job the easiest. Tukhachevsky himself later regretted these views and attributed it to being immature in his youth.
