Obviously lots of us have been concerned about this, but one thing I noticed recently are Ukrainians claiming the West is now supporting Russia, and if normal Ukrainians are saying this, then you just know the UkroNazis believe worse.

    Azov are actually less dangerous than they used to be because most of them died. They were a real problem actively training the far right everywhere internationally. Now they’re basically dead. Most of the hardcore died or were captured in Mariupol.

    What IS a problem is the arming of entirely different far right groups with weapons from the Ukraine war, many of which have gone missing.

    Azov will need to rebuild itself, or reorganised under different names. It is not the powerful fascist organisation that it was before this war started, it has been considerably weakened by its losses and much of its new blood don’t have the decades of fascist larping in peacetime to build up their ideology.
