While I have seen racist uses of monkey imagery towards black people, never have I seen it towards Russians.

Ever since Putin's invasion of Ukraine, German discourse at least was full of racist remarks on how russians basically have no culture, aren't even European, etc.

I'd argue that comparing people to Apes should be judged just like depicting people like squids/kraken (which is an antisemitic caricature).
