Nah, they're serious in their "Nazism". It's not any LARP when you kill and die.
"Russian peacekepeers" isn't anything new at all, it was first used in early 1992 in Moldova when freshly rebranded Soviet forces whose tanks under General Lebed rescued the local seps from "the fascists" (the police) and since then they have remained there to this day.
They were already in place since 1945, as the Soviet 14th Army (became the Russian 14th Army).
Transdnestria seps still use the hammer and sickle symbol in their flag. Everything is at least as Soviet as in 1990. Can't wait to hear from the "far right" crowd over here about how based they are if the denaZification of Moldova campaign begins next.
Who are the tards downvoting an answer to a simple question?
I think it's not about ideology. I support Putin preventing NATO from coming into Ukraine in order to end Western hegemony, which I think is very destructive.
NATO was never coming to Ukraine. If you mean membership, not only NATO wasn't interested (besides some lobbying countries, chiefly Poland) but just the ongoing conflict with no end in sight over Donbas and Crimea would ensure it wouldn't happen in any case.
And not even after MH17 when their civilians were massacred did NATO do anything about it. I actually expected a peacemaking force at the time, or at least a massive support, but no. Nothing happened.
But in any case, RS isn't a "nazi group" unless you're Antifa or a literal Chekist. They identify with the UPA tradition and the UPA killed quite some Germans and frustrated their war effort (slavery deportations and food requisitions) during WWII.

I'm confused by these statements, despite the quotation marks.
"Nazism" here is just a Russian buzzword and a Russian neologism at that. Until just several years ago they would only ever use "fascism", as in for example to say that "the fascist Germany attacked the White Polish fascists in 1939" (and they still use "White Poland" or "White Finland" because they forever see everything through the prism of their own civil war, and also every foreign enemy was either "fascist" or "imperialist", or at least the latter's local "lackey").
This is also why they called it "Antifa" and not "Antina" when the Komintern organized it in Germany 1932. The targets of Antifa were both "Hitler's fascists" and the "social fascists" (the Social Democrats).
Anyways the RS guys are really into hardcore Ukrainian nationalism, namely they're neo-Banderovites of the UPA tradition (albeit not nearly anywhere as extreme as the UPA have been historically). For which they are killing and dying as we speak, such is this LARP full of accidents.

How did they even get there? Through Ukraine?
