According to [[NBC News]] the '''Azov Battalion''' was “founded by an avowed [[white supremacist]] who claimed [[Ukraine]]’s national purpose was to rid the country of [[Jews]] and other inferior races.”<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ukraine-has-nazi-problem-vladimir-putin-s-denazification-claim-war-ncna1290946</ref>  The '''Azov Movement''' is neither just a “Nazi militia” or a “regular military unit”.

The '''Azov Battalion''', also referred to as the '''Azov Regiment''', '''Azov Brigade''', '''Azov Assault Brigade''', and the '''3rd Assault Brigade''', originated as a paramilitary wing of a [[Ukrainian]] political party, the [[Azov National Corps]] party, which holds seats in the undemocratic [[Ukrainian Parliament]]. It is now under the command of the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior,<ref>The Ministry of Interior holds the [[police]] power and is somewhat akin to the [[US Dept. of Justice]].</ref> not the Ministry of Defense, and its political wing is part of the governing [[coalition]] that has banned all opposition.  

''[[The Guardian]]''  reported in 2015, "while the Azov and other volunteer battalions might be Ukraine's most potent and reliable force on the battlefield against the [Donbas] separatists, they also pose the most serious threat to the Ukrainian government, and perhaps even the state."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/10/azov-far-right-fighters-ukraine-neo-nazis</ref> Its founder, [[Andriy Biletsky]] famously described the Azov Battalion's role in the [[Revolution of Dignity]], "we have fun killing."<ref>https://youtu.be/0C1O2WWqyPQ?t=1035</ref>

==Origins==

==Origins==

The roots of the Azov movement can be found in the Neo-Nazi [[football hooligan|soccer hooligan]] scene of [[Kharkiv]]. Andrei Biletsky was the central figure of the nascent movement for the longest time. A Kharkiv native, he joined numerous nationalist organizations, for example the Lviv-based “Tryzub”.  He also actively supported the Kharkiv cell of the [[Social-National Party of Ukraine]], now renamed Svoboda. In 2006, Biletsky founded Patriot of Ukraine, a nationalist organization that engaged in street violence and [[terrorism]].  Biletsky's patron during this period was [[Arsen Avakov]], an [[Armenia]]n-Ukrainian entrepreneur and politician. In 2005–2010, Avakov was the governor of Kharkiv oblast. During this period, Patriot of Ukraine was unofficially deputized by Kharkiv police.  Biletsky's gang helped the [[police]] patrol the streets for [[illegal immigrant]]s, and also to combat illegal businesses. Aside from their political activities, they served as enforcers for Avakov's business ventures and reached a significant level of political protection.

In 2011, Biletsky and several of his comrades were arrested for organized robbery; in early 2014, Avakov became Minister of the Interior after the [[Euromaidan coup]] and had them released from prison.  The relationship with the hooligans continued. Russian Neo-Nazi Sergei Korotkikh aka “Botsman” is a personal friend of Avakov's son. Botsman also leads a separate Azov unit, the “Botsman Boys”.

The places where they were stationed, Shirokino, Zolotoye, [[Mariupol]] saw almost no fighting other than the battle for the Mariupol airport.  This, however, didn't stop Azov from becoming famous. They ran the secret black site prison, "the Library" in Mariupol with the [[Kyiv regime]] gestapo, the SBU.  In the city of Mariupol itself, hey started looting, raping, shooting random civilians, kidnapping, torturing and murdering pro-Russian activists, and other war crimes.

Azov transformed from a hooligan militia into a proper military unit with generous funding provided by Ukrainian [[oligarch]]s — not just Avakov, but also [[Kolomoisky]] and [[Rinat Akhmetov]]. Patriot of Ukraine became the “National Corps”, Azov's political wing.  Not a mere political party, Azov's “civilian” organizations engaged in paramilitary training for radicals, children's education, charity, literature & many other things. They built a whole business empire ranging from publishing houses and tattoo parlors to brothels and drug dealing.  Azov was involved in high-profile expropriations and hostile takeovers. Biletsky became a member of the Ukrainian Parliament. There were rumors that they tried to buy an island in [[Latin America]]. With political protection, mob ties & US sponsors they became a “state within the state”.

After Biletsky's departure into politics, Denys Prokopenko was left in charge of the military unit.  Prokopenko became recognizable to the general public only when he refused to salute Zelensky at an awarding ceremony.

Mariupol became Azov's headquarters — a Russian-speaking city given to them as a [[feudal]] [[fief]]dom by the [[Maidan regime]]. The city housed the headquarters and one of the regiment's battalions. Other battalions, including the most numerous, were established in Kharkiv Dnepropetrovsk.  The leaders and iconic figures of the movement are concentrated in Kyiv.  After the defeat at Mariupol in May 2022, Azov has been replenished with numerous supporters from the civilian corps and their own mobilization reserve.

Azov franchise is exists in Kyiv; the Kharkiv branch (“Kraken” and “Freikorps”) was the one responsible for videos of Russian prisoners of war being executed. Azov's political arm, the National Corps, has established a military dictatorship in Kharkiv during the [[SMO]].

Roddy Keenan writing in ''The Saker'' observed, "‘Scratch a [[liberal]] and a [[fascist]] bleeds’, I was once told many years ago."  Keenan continued, "One only has to look at the manner in which the Azov Battalion, a fully-fledged Ukrainian Nazi militia, with significant influence, has been whitewashed in the space of ten weeks. Whereas prior to February 24th 2022, they were recognized as a neo-Nazi battalion, these fascists are now being portrayed as valiant defenders of an oppressed people, fighting bravely against insurmountable odds."

On the rare occasion that Western media refers to the ideology of the Azov units and the presence of other fascist groups such as [[C14]], Pravy Sektor and [[Svoboda]], it claims they have minimal impact on the politics of the Ukraine, pointing to their weak electoral performances. What they fail to point out, is that the mainstream’ parties are implementing policies that the fascists support. A leader of the fascist group C14, Yevhen Karas, described the 2014 Maidan coup as a ‘victory of nationalist ideas’. He went on to assert that without the influence of fascist groups, the Maidan coup would have been nothing but a ‘[[Gay pride|gay parade]]’.

According to so-called liberal democracies, even though there might be bad Nazis, there are also good fascists, whose adherence to Nazism is just an ideological quirk. Obviously, those who are on NATO's side are the good Nazis. And it's the Collective West that always gets to decide who is who.

Western media coverage of the air strike at a railway station in Kramatorsk that killed over fifty people and injured more than one hundred were initially widely reported, with images on front pages across the Western media. However, within forty-eight hours the story had disappeared and barely received a mention. This was due to an Italian news team identifying one of the missiles as being of the type used by Ukrainian forces. The narrative of Ukrainians killing civilians obviously didn't fit into the propaganda of the Collective West, and consequently, the dead and injured found instant irrelevance.
