Your stay here is unlikely to last much longer but the Azov Batallion is a very tiny unit maybe 900 strong before the Russian invasion and the lefties have been pitching a fit about them for half a decade which is what you dug up. But to a good 21st-century leftist ANYONE even moderately conservative is viewed as a potential "Fascist / nazi"

900 in a population of 41.46 Million does not justify the invasion and flattening of cities but the Russian propagandist ( and apologists.......) are spinning their own war crimes as the work of Azov which does not explain Bucha and Irpin as Azov is nowhere near those places.......and as has been mentioned time and time again. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish

Yet Putin and his cronies are behaving exactly like authoritarian Fascists and "the truth can be uncomfortable" and that IS the truth.

a pivotal aspect of Russian identity is that xenophobia, racial hatred and ultra/far right nationalism have by far outgrown the level of street radicals and in one form or another have penetrated various layers of Russian multiethnic and multicultural society. Currently the number of nationalist organizations actively operating in the Russian Federation may have reached 53: 22 of them being ultranationalist and 8 completely prohibited. In addition, according to numerous estimates, half of the world far right radicals currently reside on the territory of the Russian Federation

Geez, can we skip some of the insane amounts of propaganda when we talk about the war in Ukraine? It's bad enough already.

And my post is aimed at the brand new member, just to clarify.

As reported in China Times along with many others ( you will need to turn translation on )
https://www-chinatimes-com.translate...r_pto=sc&chdtv

Just on the eve of Russia's Victory Day on May 9, they lost their 39th colonel in the Ukrainian war by the name of Fezul Bichikaev, who is said to be near Kharkiv During an intelligence mission, he died in a fierce gun battle.

Russian media reported Bichkayov's death, saying he, 36, was one of the youngest officers of the lieutenant colonel rank to die on a covert intelligence mission.

According to Russian media, the father of three was a hero whose reconnaissance team was spotted by the Ukrainian army and the lieutenant colonel fired back in order to cover the rest of the team, "after a bullet pierced his artery, the radio reported The commander was injured, but he said 'it's just a small injury' despite the pain, and the mission continues!"

"The self-sacrifice and heroism shown by this officer saved the lives of many Russian servicemen, fighting the enemy and sabotaging the organization to complete the combat mission."

He is the commander of the self-propelled artillery regiment of Russia's 127th Motorized Infantry Division, the report said.

Lieutenant Colonel Fezul Bichikaev from Vladikavkaz was the deputy commander of a regiment in Yekaterinburg, possibly the 288th MRR

If Lieutenant Colonels are having to go personally with reconnaissance teams and are getting killed handling weapons they have BIG problems

Why won't my stay here last long? )) Are you threatening me with a ban? You don't like my opinion? I was previously registered here (lost access to my account) - me KraMax (group Steel Panthers Russia) - remember me?

My opinion is different from yours. Isn't that what democracy is fighting for, so that all opinions are heard and everyone can speak out?
You and not only you say that this is propaganda. It turns out that any individual opinion that differs from yours is propaganda?

The size of the Azov battalion is conditional. The Azov Battalion is officially part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Since 2014, this battalion and not only it has been shelling the Donbass and killing the civilian (and russians people too) population of these regions.

Zelensky Jewish. Obviously the Nazis are stronger and politics is a dirty business. Is Israel helping him a lot? I wonder why?

There were hopes for the "Minsk agreements" signed by Ukraine in 2015. Ukraine promised to fulfill these agreements for 8 years.

I carefully read your links. Beautifully written. Some authors are Ukrainians, but it doesn't matter. With these links you are trying to explain to me that Russia is a fascist (authoritarian, totalitarian ...) state and put it between the state and Putin. This is your point of view, not mine.

Let's read about the Nazis at the state level (toward the end of the article):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Shukhevych

State awards to Nazi criminals (this is no longer 900 people to 41 million). People have nothing to do with it - these are politicians.
Remember the conversation between Biden and Putin on security? What did they discuss there ... one can only guess.

Sorry forgot to write about Bucha and other. For example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1yoMRLbuuE

This is the mayor of Bucha rejoicing at the withdrawal of Russian troops. He doesn't talk about tragedy. Ukrainian and foreign media will start talking about the tragedy in Bucha 4-5 days after the withdrawal of Russian troops. I will not talk about fakes. Just think for yourself - you leave a small town and shoot a lot of civilians so that you can later be accused of mass crimes?... Just don't talk about the bloodthirstiness of the Russians!

[Karagin]

Y'all do realize that the Russians don't follow the same setup the Western militaries do right? Their NCO Corps is a joke and the duties that MOST Western Mlitraries regulate to NCOs fall on junior and some senior line officers in the Russian and other Eastern European armies? I have seen it in Hungarian and Romanian and somewhat in the Lithuanian militaries and we all know their base is the Soviet model.

So it is no shock or surprise that we are seeing reports of staff/line officers getting killed when it would be reports of captains and LTs if it was a Western military in the same setting. Am I the only one NOT comparing the Russians or Ukrainians to the US military or NATO militires?

This is a minute snapshot of events he is happy to be rid of the invaders. End of story -----the rest of the events were reported after the liberation .. after that was recorded

It's BS like this that will be your end. You are referencing the post Blazoes made in the one above yours but that is NOT the same "old woman" at all.


And no, I don't much care for your distorted opinions
