It used to be received wisdom in Western media that Ukraine’s Azov Battalion wasn’t merely a “nationalist” or “right-wing” group, but rather a full-blown neo-Nazi outfit. But then the Ukraine War happened, and suddenly Azov was “celebrated” (according to the New York Times) or merely “accused” of committing human rights abuses. So how did this happen? How did a group of neo-Nazis become the West’s primary bulwark against Russian imperialism?
Guest host Aaron Maté (https://mate.substack.com) and his panel of Ukrainian-born journalist Lev Golinkin and America’s Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the curious interaction of the Azov Battalion, Ukraine’s World War II hero/Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, ,Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian populace.
