Putin claims Azov runs Ukraine. Does anyone remember that video where Zelensky addresses the Azovites and they laugh in his face?
Я не лох!
There are people, who recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty and defend its national interests. Putin recognizes Ukraine’s sovereignty by the way. And they are not Nazis. You will notice that Azov never once denies they are Nazis.
Western media was enthralled by the Darkest One, Lord Sauron Putin of Mordor, and they slandered the Azovites by calling them Nazis. 😆
I am surprised Russia waited this long with designating Azov as a terrorist organization.
Denazification of Ukraine will mean the disbandment or destruction of not just Azov but also Kraken, Karpatska Sich, and other units.
Call Yuri Bezmenov into the studio. Russia defeated Azov at Mariupol by the way.
Not that I want to play anything associated with Azov, not even out of curiosity…
You will explore sites of Azov’s failure and humiliation. A game where you are bound to lose, unless they turn you into some kind of a Rambo that kills Russian orcs by the hundreds.
Oh shit it is that…
Orc Hunters, you can’t be serious…
The bearded goober above says he was held up in Mariupol behind enemy lines, among unwelcoming populace, subsisted on a diet of dogs and pigeons. This would be a good video game. Survival, escape New Mordor, surrounded by Vatniks, betrayed, smelling like shit, hungry…
The general rule of thumb for neonazi groups used to be: 1 third are petty criminals, 1 third are homosexuals, and the remaining third are feds.
Although, Yarowrath said 90% of the far right scene is gay…

In an interview to Deutsche Welle, the recently sacked spokesperson for Ukraine’s armed forces said the LGBT NGO Ukraine Pride collected money for walkie talkies for the Azov battalion, when the latter was based in Mariupol…
I have found this video featuring Anatoly Shariy and Vladimir Chemeris, and saw it has been given English subtitles. It explains a lot of thing that I tend to mention here on this blog…
What the author of these words, Imran Ahmed, does not quite realise is that the Ukrainian segment of Facebook is moderated by people rather sympathetic to the Azov battalion and other neo-nazi groups in Ukraine. Pro-Russian activists get regularly blocked on that website for no reason by these people. Azov and other nazis are under control of the Ministry of Interior, and those are allies of the United Kingdom. This is a spillover from British foreign policy. Perhaps Imran Ahmed should send his report to the Foreign Office.
Apart from Ruslan Shavetdinnov, whose case has been widely reported by the likes of the Washington funded RFE/RL, the rest of the individuals I have covered are low level activists really. This time, I discovered the brother and husband of Lyubov Sobol, the Moscow resident activist, and close Navalny comrade.
The information is now relatively dated, it actually comes from 2016 but it has resurfaced recently, and it is worth reposing here because it adds to the series I was running.
It turns out, the brother of Lyubov Sobol, Grigory Musatov took active part in the Euromaidan.
The grinning twerp on the right is Grigory Musatov…

A rare sight, the Hrushevsky street is without Molotow cocktails. What a mess!
Her husband, Sergey Mokhov is not far off:
Here Mokhov shows support for the neonazi Azov Battalion…
You see the West has a little bit of a problem. In 2014, the West supported a violent coup d’état by the hands of radical nationalists. The new regime in Ukraine employed literal Neonazis to repress the pro-Russian segment of the Ukrainian society. The war in Eastern Ukraine attracted people from around the World, who belong to the Neonazi international. Ukraine has become a bit of an Afghanistan of Neonaziism, and from time to time, the West suffers a blowback in the form of far right terrorism.
At the end of the day, the Western elites don’t bother about few “aroused hotheads”. The Neonazis in Ukraine perform a valuable function of driving underground whatever pro-Russian sentiment there is.
Hence, we see articles such as this one. On the pages of the Atlantic Council, Anton Shekhovtsov tries to say that the battalion Azov is not really Neonazi because they are an official military unit and have more recently formed a civilian wing.
Shekhovtsov bills himself as an expert on far right movements and last I heard, he was residing in Norway. Nevertheless, he has some interesting past. Turns out he was an Eurasianist:
Back in the mid-2000s, he was involved with the International Eurasian Movement’s youth wing in Crimea, when it was part of Ukraine. Known as the “Eurasian Youth Union” (ECM in Russian), it’s a right-wing organization which believes in a “Greater Russia” and largely follows the teachings of the aforementioned Dugin.
It would seem Anton has followed the path of many far right Ukrainians from the Eastern regions. There was clearly more money in being a Western NGO employee, and working for the West and the Ukrainian powers that be. Remember, the leader of Azov, Biletsky once called for the creation of a union with Russia. And then he was bought by Avakov and now is singing a different tune.
Well, this Shekhovtsov character appears to have an even darker side. In 2014 he was among those that cheered the death of people, who were burned alive in Odessa on 2 May. He called them vermin…
Here is a closeup:
He calls the RT article about him “a slander”…
This Shekhovtsov guy is a sleaze, who can’t own up to his past, cheers the deaths of people killed in Odessa on 2 May 2014, and makes apologetics for Neonaziism…
Out of the endless necrologues of Ukraine. 36 year old Maksim Trikoza aka “Voidan” was found with knife wounds near the place he lived in Vinnytsia. He was a Russian citizen, who considered himself ethnic Ukrainian, and joined the ranks of Azov after the war broke out in the Donbass.
