There's also a YouTuber from Australia who does military analysis, calling himself Perun. For a pro-Ukrainian YouTuber he's reasonably objective, in my opinion, which is why it mystifies me he would use a name that is so easily associated to the NeoN*** stuff.

"Hyperborean kitsch"

Don't you mean "Hyborian kitsch"?

Hyperborea was a country in Howard's "Hyborian Age" for his Conan stories, and I think fewer people are aware of any of the country's names (except, maybe, Conan's Cimmeria) than the name for the time they were situated.

The idea of Hyperborea is extremely popular among Slavic pagan nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperborea#Hyperborea_in_radical_Russian_nationalist_and_neo-Nazi_imagery
