Dmitry Rogozin - Director General of Roscosmos from 2018 to 2022, deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry from 2011 to 2018, and Russia’s ambassador to NATO from 2008 to 2011, was (and is) a nazi.
The party he formed, Rodina, was campaigning to ban jewish minorities and jewish organizations.
These are the kind of people that are appointed in positions of power. Can we imagine even for a split second the sheer scandal that would ensue if NASA’s director had that kind of history?
I mean, NASA does have a history of hiring Nazis to be fair. Not anytime recently, to be sure, and it’s not in any way an excuse for roscosmos, but it technically has.
Ahhh, on the topic of Roscosmos.

Rogozin also participated at a myriad of neo-nazi meetings and protests(money shot in the last few seconds of the video, translation not necessary)
