Is Stephen Fry overreacting to the situation in Russia?
At first I thought that he was overreacting by comparing the issues occurring in Russia to those of Hitlers Germany, however, as i continued to read the article, the similarities between the two are endless. Comparing anything to Hitlers Germany can be seen absurd by most due to the harshness and profoundness of Germany at that time. When he relates how the Germans treated the Jews, to how Russia is treating athletes who will be competing in the 2014 Olympics, the theme of discrimination is evident. The hatred toward those that are different is the main similarity, as well as the undescribable reasoning for those actions.
