It seems somewhat paradoxical that a part of the world which suffered so appallingly from Nazi crimes against humanity during World War Two should host so many Nazis, especially given the fact that the Ukraine is hardly a pantheon of “Arian ideals”. Why are there so many right-wing extremists there, why are they so influential and what does this term, in this context, actually mean?
“Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov issued a decree in April allowing for the creation of special units to counter the pro-Russian separatists, providing various fascist paramilitary groups the imprimatur of the state and allowing them to operate with impunity. In addition to the Azov battalion, other far-right militias have been organized to fight the separatists, including the Dnipro, Donbass, and Kharkiv battalions.”
“The Azov battalion, financed by billionaire oligarch and the appointed Governor of Dnipropretrovsk Oblast, Ihor Kolomoyskyi, is commanded by Andriy Biletsky. Biletsky leads the neo-Nazi Social-National Assembly (SNA) and its paramilitary wing, the Patriots of Ukraine.”
“Biletsky’s SNA, whose members make up a significant portion of the Azov battalion, supports Ukraine’s re-acquisition of nuclear weapons and the introduction of racial purity laws, and openly boasts on its website about carrying out physical attacks on ethnic and social minorities. In one recent anti-Semitic outburst, Biletsky wrote: “The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival. A crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen.”
“The Azov battalion flies the neo-Nazi Wolfsangle on its banner, a symbol used by the 2nd SS Panzer Division and other Nazi forces during World War II. Members of the battalion are quite proud of their white supremacist and anti-Semitic ideology.”
“The Telegraph quoted a fighter known as “Phantom,” who said: “Personally, I’m a Nazi. I don’t hate any other nationalities, but I believe each nation should have its own country. We have one idea: to liberate our land from terrorists.””
Stalin starve 10,000,000 to death before WWII. The Ukraine’s had their own Division with the Germans in WWII, They still hate the Russians. SO the US/UK used that hate and supported Nazis to create this situation in we have now. There, I saved you a lot of reading.
The real question is why is this being brought up now? Seriously, it was not like they where not wearing Das Reich armbands and waving flags in the streets when we sponsored the coup. It is not like NATO has not met with their leaders who sport all kinds of Nazi symbols. So, why now?
Whoa there cowboy…. you can’t be slinging that much truth around here without some gunz to back it up. Calme as I used to tell the soon to be deported. Less u be gettin a tiquete.
It’s all Kabuki theater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87_VwTlP_Kw&t=53s
Putin brought this up and the West said it was not true. Whatever the reason for Nazis in Ukraine, Putin is correct.
I meant why is it now brought up in the US media. Not you. My dad and I got into a huge argument about it back then.
Because they are trying to make Putin look stupid.
I don’t know but more Clinton stuff too.

First off the Nazi’s were socialists, they were far left extremists an example would be antifa which is a worldwide group. Where do we get that they are far right?
Nazi is another word for Israeli
So a nation of Nazis vote for a Jew to be their president (Zelensky) and also a Jew to be their prime minister (Groysman)?
There are a lot of accusations of being a nazi lately; Trudeau even called one of Canada’s parliamentarians, a Jewish daughter of holocaust survivors, a nazi for supporting the Canadian truckers. NAZI stands for National Socialists; most people that call others nazi’s tend toward socialism, and tend to be acting like nazi’s themselves.
Did you read the article?
Some 80 percent of the NKVD were Jews, and Jewish Bolsheviks starved, shot, or otherwise murdered tens of millions of Ukrainians before WWII. Not hard to see why Ukrainian patriots sided with the Germans, or why many still reach back to memories of those times to oppose Russia, a country nearly as thoroughly ZOGed as the USA.
Thank you thank you for telling it. If anyone follows Cliff_High , his last video entitled “Budo”, released a day or so ago, tells the whole story.
Then, its so easy to say yes there would be Nazi’s there *duh* .
And it would also lend you to seeing this is a war against the Jews, sorta kinda”.
why do people think that evil is in the confines of a specific group?
