Debunking Common Slanders of Nationalists in Ukraine

Since the start of Russo-Ukrainian war, we have seen many supposed nationalists in the West cheering on the Neo Bolshevik Eurasian war machine, as it maims and slaughters tens of thousands of White Ukrainians. Even though Ukraine is a homogenous White country where patriotism and ethno-nationalism is quite mainstream, we see a majority of nationalists in the West openly supporting Russia, while the Russian military rolls in waving the blood stained banner of the USSR.

Many of these people are almost certainly being paid by the Kremlin, such as the TRS crew via their connection to FSB asset Charles Bausman, however many are just misguided due to being fed disinformation that Putin is somehow a savior of Western values, despite the fact that he imprisons and murders White nationalists at home in the Russian Federation. Many however justify their pro Russian/anti-Western position by saying that nationalists in Ukraine are somehow “fake” White nationalists, a position that has been promoted by the likes of TRS, Mark Collett, David Duke, and Red Ice.

Slandering Ukrainian nationalist battalions such as the Azov Regiment, Misanthropic Division, Right Sektor, National Corps, and Format 18 always boils down to three points.

They are funded/controlled by jewish oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi
They are armed by Israel
That they overall “serve the jews”

All of these assumptions are false. They were deliberately disseminated by pro Russian bad actors to purposely muddy the waters, and turn nationalists against Ukraine, and sadly it has been pretty successful due to people like the ones mentioned above. In regards to them allegedly being armed by Israel, there is no proof and there never was any proof that Israeli weapons deliberately got into the hands of nationalists in Ukraine. It started as a rumor spread by pro Russian Israeli newspaper (Ma’Ariv) which in turn went on to admit it was a rumor started by pro Russian Netanyahu loyalists to embarrass the current Israeli government. In 2019 a private Israeli arms company, Israeli Weapons Industries, which produces the Tavor rifle, made an arms deal with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense which gave them the license to produce replicas of the favor rifle. When photos began to surface of nationalists in Ukraine using the Tavor rifle, leftists and ill-informed White nationalists used this as proof that Azov is armed by Israel.

In regards to the rumor that Igor Kolomoyskyi funded or controls Azov, in 2014 at the start of the first clashes of the conflict, he blanket-funded dozens of volunteer battalions; there is zero proof that he deliberately put money into National Socialist hands. Also what many of these people leave out is that Kolomoyskyi switched sides in 2018, and has since been financing several Russian-backed separatist groups and campaigning in support of Vladimir Putin.

In regards to the origins of Azov and National Corps, before the start of the conflict, it was simply a collective of Ukrainian nationalists centered around the Kharkiv FC football club. When the first clashes happened, early on in the conflict, many of them got together to form a volunteer battalion. After the Azov Regiment liberated Mauripol, which was captured by Russian separatists, this gained them legitimacy in the eyes of the Ukrainian Military as well as the people, despite being openly National Socialist. On November 12th, 2014, Azov Regiment was officially incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard after just six months as an independent outfit, and has since been funded by the Ukrainian taxpayer.

Another claim is that because the President of Ukraine, Zelensky is a jew, that Ukrainian nationalists fighting the Russians are somehow fighting for him. The truth is that Azov, Misanthropic Division, Right Sektor, and other groups have been very loud critics of the government for years. When the insurrection/invasion happened, they defended their country as nationalists do, fighting for their people and their land, not for their government. Furthermore, in October 2019, Zelensky travelled to the front lines and told Azov, Right Sektor, and other regiments to disarm and immediately retreat. He did this because having openly National Socialist state-sponsored paramilitaries on the frontlines of the conflict, made their government look bad and reduced Ukraine’s chances of joining NATO. They refused to capitulate, and the result was Zelensky melting down on camera because he was unable to give them orders.

Many people also claim because the United States supports Ukraine, that any Ukrainian who takes up arms is somehow fighting for “Globohomo.” In 2018 the United States Congress passed a bill written by Adam Schiff, that banned any resources, training, or funds being sent to Ukrainian nationalists, but Azov Regiment in particular due to their “abhorrent White supremacist ideology.” Many pro-Russian people in the West will say “if they are truly National Socialist, how come they haven’t assassinated Zelensky?” If National Socialist elements in Ukraine launched a coup, do you honestly believe that western arms shipments and diplomatic support would continue? Despite Ukraine having a large National Socialist community, there still is a large portion of people who would not take kindly to such a scenario. Starting a civil war while your country is undergoing an invasion by a more powerful neighbor is the stupidest thing they could possibly do.

Now that many of the rumors are cleared up, let’s look at the factual reality of Azov. It is a National Socialist paramilitary with their own political wing and youth summer camp, they organized the largest pro-White/NSBM music festival and networking event in the world (Asgardsrei Festival), and they are one of the largest and best organized National Socialist community in Europe, and the world. When they’re not fighting the Russian military, they terrorize Ukrainian antifa, and shape the next generation of National Socialists with their youth camps, where Ukrainian children get the opportunity to train, enjoy fun games, and learn about nationalism and Ukraine’s history.

The bravery and heroism they have shown throughout Russia’s invasion, has given them a great opportunity to grow National Socialism into a formidable force in Ukraine, which hopefully can one day take power in a war-torn and unstable nation like Ukraine.

Ukraine, like all of Eastern Europe, is in a tough spot between Russia and NATO. However realpolitik demands you do whatever you need to, make whatever deals and alliances are necessary to deal with the immediate threat. Tomorrow’s threat can be dealt with once today’s threat has been dealt with. For Eastern Europeans, from Finland to Poland to Romania, their greatest threat is Russia. An Asiatic Empire ran by devout anti-Fascists and neo-Bolshevik scum, who in Russia imprison, torture, and murder National Socialists. Still to this day they celebrate the Red Army’s conquest and takeover of Europe. They continue the erect statues to the Red Army hordes who raped and murdered across Europe in 1945. History is once again repeating itself and it is the same Eastern hordes behaving in the same manner as they did during their advancement through Europe. For Ukrainians it is either fight, or face genocide. If Russia has it’s way, they will face Holodomor on Steroids. In no way is this an endorsement of Ukraine’s zionist occupied government, this is an endorsement of the Ukrainian people and the bravery they have displayed throughout this conflict.
