In principle I share your views on #peakfascism. But here you point out the real problem after we have left the peak behind us: not that hard-core nationalism will prevail but more progressive forces will fall back on nationalism to appeal the masses. (And not that Putin will prevail but that Europe will fall back into accepting war as a "Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln.")
As far as the return of nationalism to fashion is concerned, Eastern Europe is also partly to blame: the glorification of the nation state here is often due to the fact that it died an unexpected “death at young age” (Estonia et al). And the situation in Ukraine, where a real national consciousness has only developed lately as a result of the Russian attack, is even worse: How are we going to explain to people that the nationalism that helped them through the war must now be put in the recycle bin quickly?
