Come on, Russian "страна наиболее вероятного противника" (the country of the most likely enemy) was always the military name of the US since the Cold War. Now used in military texts and also as a sarcastic cliché

Moreover, it's adversary, not enemy.
The Russians seem to refer to most people not helping them as enemies. Often as nazis too.
Stupid generalization, just like propagandist stereotypes about obese redneck Americans and perverted Europeans.
Only propagandists and their victims can throw rocks like this without any discernment.
Any nation is a collection of vastly different personalities, out of whom one could of course pick a group with sought after characteristics, but taking one such group and extending its characteristics to the whole nation is beyond stupid.
It's OK if you implied "Russian government", but that better be explicit.
Exactly. Russians seem to understand the word "Nazis" is a less-literate way than the rest of the world.
"Nazi" -- in Russia -- means anybody that Russia hates, resents, is jealous of, or otherwise dislikes. Anybody not explicitly in Russia's thrall is "anti-Russian", considered an enemy, and is hence labelled a "Nazi".
Coincidentally, this "Whoever isn't with us, is against us" thinking is a hallmark of fascist regimes like the actual Nazi Germany, where it was an article of faith.

Can you do better?
No ad hominem, just meme post because ironically post about nazis operates with made up national stereotypes.
You're saying that calling people you disagree with "Nazis" was invented by Russia? Well, in that case, a lot of people better start paying royalties.
