Pavel Gubarev has said in an interview that in his youth in the early
2000's, he was in a Russian neo-nazi group but that his views changed
and moved to the left. He joined the Progressive Socialist party in Russia.
[...] In the same interview, he said he was not a radical nationalist
and described himself as 'centre-left' ".

Leftists turning to fascism as well as petty-bourgeois nationalists
turning to the left is a known phenomenon. But it obviously takes a lot
more for a fascist to move to the left-wing or even center-left
politics. Fascism, is a point of no return to humanism, let alone left
wing politics.
In Pavel Gubarev case, his "left turn" would be rather a matter of faith.
Maybe Pavel Gubarev, like St Pavel's vision of Jesus, did see a vision
of Stalin or something...
Yet Gubarev was not without company in that alleged left turn. Have we
here a mass conversion of fascists into left wing ideas?
JA
