For some, the greatest horror of adolescence is the growing realization that adults are just so totally full of shit.
It only starts with the idiotic hallucinations of religion and morality and extends well beyond both into a shocking plethora of beliefs about human nature, the inanimate world, and just about anything else you care to name that are abysmally, transparently stupid.
Not to mention that so much of all that is just a mess of bullying hogwash in aid of coercive control, and often downright dangerous to yourself.
Add all that to the shattering trials of puberty and there's no wonder at all that the young are profoundly alienated and many of them depressed to the point of suicide.
Could that be why so many young people find shockingly stupid ideologies attractive if only they justify smashing the adult world in which they were raised?

As can be seen by googling, "nihilism" is a word with many meanings.

Just to be clear, the Russians were better off with the Czars, and the devils who killed Alexander II and others of their tribe teed up Russia for disaster at the hands of the Bolsheviks, or others like them, and about whom we can truthfully say that Russia and the world would have been vastly better off had they been drowned as infants.
