Well, even the US blocked the military aid to Azov on the nazism grounds. So everyone who was even standing near those people should be questioned.

I'm afraid that talking about communism here is just derailing the discussion, for multiple reasons:

1- Communists aren't in power in Belarus (nor Russia)

2- Protasevich is not a communist

3- None of the discussion that's happening is about seizing the means of production

4- Being a neo-nazi is not bad because the word starts with a "N", it's bad because the ideology behind it advocates for racial conflict and ethnic cleansing.

From the link:

> Conspiracy theorist Ivan Katchanovski, known in Ukraine for online ballistic “expertise” of trees on Instytutska square to “prove” Maidan protesters shot each other

Which invalidates it right away. I’m yet to hear a convincing story from the Ukrainian government about who shot people on Maidan.

Of course it does matter, e.g. if he was there as a journalist. Hamas/Hezbollah/ISIS are all god-awful organizations — as is Belarus own OMON — but being with them while on a journalist mission is not a crime.
