But the goals pursued by the militants from Azov, German journalists believe, have nothing in common with the goals with which Kiev residents took to the streets during the Maidan protests, namely: joining Europe, democratic reforms.
Wearing black masks with their own flags, they dream of a right-wing coup.
Shocking photos from downtown Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on October 14 showed how far the initially peaceful protests had gone. Nationalists went out on a torchlight procession to celebrate the so-called. the day of the founding of the “Ukrainian Insurgent Army”, which collaborated with Nazi Germany.
In parliament, the majority of deputies refused that day to pass a law glorifying the controversial partisan movement, including because they were guilty of the massacre of Poles.
Who are the people who are spreading outright neo-Nazism, asks a major German newspaper?
The Azov battalion was formed in May and now includes several hundred people. A reporter for the British newspaper The Guardian, who spent a lot of time with them, came to the conclusion that this force consists of outright right-wing extremists, which attract neo-Nazis from even Western European countries. The symbol of “Azov” - a wolf hook - is a swastika of neo-Nazis, banned in Germany.
A fighter named Dmitry, a member of Azov, told British journalists about their ideas: there was no Holocaust; Putin is not Russian, but a Jew; Ukrainian President Poroshenko’s days are numbered, his assassination is only a matter of time.
Azov commander Andrei Biletsky also expresses openly racist ideas: “The historical mission of our people at this critical moment is to create a white race for a crusade for their survival,” he told Telegraph.
