Because we're a vassal state, so any major changes in the upper echelons of the empire will affect us, including all the "culture wars", such as the war on trans kids, womens rights etc. that get imported.
A lot of the nazis especially in eastern europe got or still get funded by the cia because of their staunch anticommunism via gladio operations. Thats not to blame the empire for the bigotry of the average european but a lot of the fascist orgs get material support from seppoland.
No, the ussr did not fund paramilitary nazi groups formed from the remnants of former SS troops, or anything similar.
Some cultural exchanges and auxiliary funding is not remotely the same as arming and connecting former SS troops to create clandestine paramilitary terror cells, like wtf are we comparing here.
They werent funded, armed or trained by the ussr afaik and did not terrorise civilians.
