Changes

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]].<ref>In early July 2023, as NATO aggression was mounting, Akhmetov called for a negotiated peace settlement. [https://www.bitchute.com/video/bbC8LqOJ3lDY/]</ref>  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.

His rival, 3rd Assault Brigade leader Andriy Biletsky, was ordered south to stabilize the Druzhkivka pocket.</ref>

[[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]] and [[Dnepro]].  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.

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.

On May 14, 2022, an 18-year-old man in [[Buffalo, New York]] shot and killed 10 civilians at a supermarket. The shooter left behind a manifesto ornamented with the Azov Battalion Black Sun logo and highly critical of opponents of US support for the Ukrainian regime.

Joe Lauria of Consortium News reported that ''The New York Times'' was in Bucha, Ukraine on April 2, 2022, and did not report a massacre.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/</ref> Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.”  The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said.  In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, whose soldiers appear in the newspaper's photographs. 'The ''Times'' suggests that Azov may responsible for the killings:
