At least in Germany, there is a clear association between color green and Nazis. Nazis incorporated the early 1920's the conservationist movement in Germany. Today many seem to believe the Greens (sixth party as size in Germany, now at government in an alliance with Social Democrats) have Nazi roots. The other color associated with Nazi (except for black and red) is brown. Towards the end of his life Hitler became vegetarian and before 38 Hitler was allowing liver dumplings in his otherwise vegetarian diet.
I'm saying all these because i had an idea this morning and put Zelenski's name in Google Translate. Or better said i translated the English word green into Ukrainian and Russian. I believe Zelenski is a chosen name and he is a Hungarian actor as Putin and all the others in all countries. So this is the reason Putin said "denazification".
Also, all painters know. If you mix yellow and blue pigments you get green while if you mix yellow and blue light you get white. Aryan people have all blue eyes and yellow hair while green is the color of spring given by magnesium, at the center of every chlorophyll molecule.
The links of course are symbolic or subliminal meant only to create strong feelings among both Ukrainians and Russians. I believe 20th century and even 21 where/are still run by symbolism that is able to stir strongest emotions. Leader of Nazis in Romania during WWII was Cornel (another Nazi symbol name) Zelea Codreanu (of the forest, green), and the name of a known white extremist (now in jail in Romania) is Mazăre (peas).
I once translated a poem by Ana Blandiana (Susan Sarandon) into English and now i see the deep meaning of the poem. It reduces us to green. Also now that i think. The first four letters of her name, Blandiana (supposedly coming from the place she was born) suggest the French word blanc (white).
Hitler was also (said to be) sweaty and had flatulence. Could this be symbolically linked to labor camps and gas chambers.
I think symbolism when applied to one isolated person won't do much (on a social scale). But when applied, subconsciously, to one large group, like a whole country or race they will start to look at each other and see they all feel the same. And here you get the "do you feel what i feel syndrome". And then they all start running, hysterically, to the lake.
