The Other History of the Holocaust at The Atlantic. It explains how Russians can think Ukrainians are "Nazis" though they have a Jewish leader.
As the author itself points out with the references to Radio Milles Collines and Goebbels....This is not new, nor surprising - and it already IS a war crime, depending on what they say and know.
Doesn't make it any better or anything, mind. Not like anyone will actually face any consequences from this. But it IS already punishable, so the last few tweets are kind of without purpose;

FTFY.
The Red Army’s march to Berlin at the end of WWII was brutal in the exact same way.

DOOOOOOOM thinks this is despicable, even for him!
