On May 9, 2021, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, on the 76th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, an elderly man in a Soviet military uniform with a medal was walking along the street to the park to lay flowers.

He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and even though the wind was dead, his waist was still straight, his steps were very steady, and the old man did not seem to want to make himself look less energetic on this festival that he thought was of great significance.
Just as the old man was slowly moving forward, he suddenly noticed several young people standing on the side of the road, dressed in black, and were doing nothing there.
When I saw the old man, one of the young people first whistled at the old man, saw that the old man did not respond, and without hesitation, held out his hand and gave a Nazi military salute to the old man.
On such an incomparably sacred day, the old man's mood can be imagined by using the military salutes of the sinners who have committed heinous sins in this land to provoke those who have defended this land with their lives.
Looking at the young man's skillful Nazi military salute, his gaze changed from surprise to anger, and then to helplessness. Yes, I'm old enough to not be able to hold a gun anymore.
The old man looked at the police on the side of the road, hoping they could do something.
But to the sadness of the old man, the police turned a blind eye to this.
The old man continued to walk forward, his body still straight, but people saw loneliness in his back.
What happened to the young people of Ukraine?
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a direct answer.
Putin's expression was solemn and his tone was low, analyzing the various painful facts that had occurred on the current Battlefield in Russia and Ukraine, and when it came to emotion, Putin was silent for half a second, and then changed to a painful tone.
The old man, who always overlooked his age, earnestly said to the camera that the evil deeds of neo-Nazis in Ukraine had become more and more rampant, and they burned and looted and did nothing wrong.
(Putin)
A large part of the reason why Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine is to "de-Nazify" Ukraine, eliminate the newly bred Nazis, and defend this place with deep historical ties to Russia. Putin's speech surprised many people, the Nazis revived in Ukraine?
As early as the last century, neo-Nazism emerged in Ukraine, the most representative of which was the "82 Sect", an organization that carried the banner of ultra-nationalism.
At that time, Ukraine was being ruled by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union showed no mercy to this ultra-nationalist organization, suppressing it fiercely and putting it on the verge of extinction.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Soviet Union collapsed. The surviving 82 Sects once again took action. Under the banner of Ukrainian independence, they constantly preached national extremism and recruited new members to join.
In 2004, the Orange Revolution broke out in Ukraine, instigated by Western countries, which spawned a large number of extremist ethnic elements, and the 82 sect quietly grew.
10 years later, during a large-scale unrest in Ukraine, the 82nd Sect felt that the time was ripe and quickly pulled up the banner of the militia and formed a militia organization called the "Eastern Corps".
It was at this time that the Ukrainian government began to recruit civilian militias in order to better deal with pro-Russian forces in the eastern region. It was also at this time that the "Eastern Corps" was recruited into the Ukrainian government army,
Thereafter, the "Eastern Corps" was officially renamed the "Azov Battalion".
Camp Azov
Although it joined the government army, the Azov battalion did not change the core idea of the organization, still preached neo-Nazism, and in the process, absorbed some of the "white left" people to join.
The growing Azov battalion created a far-right "National Assembly" in Ukraine and allied itself with other parties to extend its hand into Ukraine's national politics.
With some power, the Azov battalion was very arrogant. They openly designed the logo as the "Black Sun" and "Wolf Hook" of Nazi Germany.
The "Black Sun" symbol was designed by Heinrich Himmler, a Nazi German officer, and the "Wolf Hook" was the logo of the 2nd Imperial Division of the Waffen-SS of Nazi Germany.
In addition, they often added Nazi "swastikas" to their clothes and bodies.
If the "Azov battalion" merely propagates these ideas, it is far from reaching the point where it is "notorious" and hated by peaceful people in various countries.
What makes the peaceful people hate and Russia's troops is the atrocities committed by the Azov battalion in the Wudong region.
In November 2014, the Azov battalion was absorbed into Ukrainian government forces and subsequently sent to the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol. It was also at this time that the Azov battalion began to commit heinous crimes in the Wudong region.
Over the next two years, they committed atrocities including illegal detention, electrocution, waterboarding, and sexual assault against civilians in the Wudong region, especially Russian speakers.
In addition, the encroachment on civilian houses and the plundering of property were commonplace in the Azov camp.
As for the behavior of the Azov battalion in the Eastern Ukraine region, the Ukrainian government and Western countries, especially the United States, are well aware of it.
However, the Ukrainian government, in order to combat the pro-Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine, turned a blind eye to the crimes committed by the Azov battalion. The U.S. government has a set on the surface and a set behind it.
The U.S. House of Representatives responded to the atrocities committed at Azov.
Every year, they pass amendments to the Azov battalion, prohibiting the state from providing the Azov battalion with weapons, equipment, funding, and training support.
United States House of Representatives
But every year, not long after the policy is adopted, it will be canceled. By 2018, U.S. support for the Azov battalion had become more public, and even increased military assistance to the Ukrainian government to increase the armed forces of the Azov battalion in disguise.
It is difficult for the United States to act like this without making people think that disturbing Ukraine or triggering Contradictions between Russia and Ukraine is a very good thing for the United States.
And the Azov battalion did just that. With the financial and weapons support given by the United States, the Azov battalion gradually grew and became more and more arrogant.
Their atrocities in the Wudong region have become more and more intense.
Since 2014, pro-Russian forces have successively discovered many large pits in the Wudong region.
When they first discovered it, they thought it was a mine pit. But as they dug, their expressions grew angry.
Inside these pits, tens of thousands of white bones were scattered in the mud. Careful people found that many of these bones were incomplete, and as for the missing parts, they did not know it.
mass grave
In addition to being incomplete, many people have also found some traces on these bones.
After careful observation of these traces, they deduced that these people must have suffered inhuman torture before they died.
Later, after some official investigations, it was found that some of the bones that could be matched were basically missing people in the Wudong area. Among these people, there are old people, there are children, there are men and women.
Such a tragic thing happened, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties, and later Russia finally confirmed that these pits were related to the Azov camp after years of investigation and evidence collection.
After confirming it, Russia immediately published the evidence online, hoping to use international public pressure to pressure the Ukrainian government to punish the Azov battalion.
However, with the help of the Ukrainian government and Western countries, the news was blocked before it could spread. Even some reports of mass graves have been described by Western countries and media as the Russian military creating such a terrible thing in the Wudong region.
Western media
The protected Azov battalions were even more rampant. They not only preached neo-Nazism and nazi deeds in Ukraine in the eastern region of Ukraine, but also developed more neo-Nazi organizations, and even brought their thoughts and behaviors to other countries and regions in an attempt to create unrest in these countries and regions.
In 2019, with the participation of Western countries, some rebels tried to create unrest in Hong Kong.
These people were dressed in black and wearing black masks, and did not dare to show their true faces. They beat, smashed, robbed, and burned without evil, causing many people to hate.
Surprisingly, however, during an atrocity on December 1, some attentive people suddenly noticed that some white men had appeared in the ranks of the men in black at an unknown time.
Some of the Nazi symbols on the necks of these people are clearly visible.
They were very supportive of the actions of the rioters and came up to take photos with them.
Just when many people speculated about the identity of these people, the Russian news agency gave the answer.
Neo-Nazis
It turned out that these people were members of the Ukrainian far-right neo-Nazi militia group "Azov Battalion" and the "Right". They came to Hong Kong to support the actions of the rebels.
Although these people were not Azov battalion people, they were also deeply influenced by neo-Nazi ideas and behaved no differently from Aeszov battalions.
Following the disclosure of their identities in Russia, some have found details of these individuals and their organizations.
Like the Azov battalion, the group took advantage of the 2014 Ukraine crisis to grow. Their methods, with the same brutality, had created the "Odessa Riots", which had killed 42 people and injured hundreds of others.
The Chinese government is very tough on these people. Peace was also quickly restored in Hong Kong.
In addition to China, neo-Nazis have also appeared in Belarus.
In 2021, Belarus captured a white man. Later, after investigation, it was found that this person was actually a member of the Ukrainian Azov battalion. He joined Azov Camp and became the cover character of Black Sun, the official magazine of Azov Camp in 2015, because he did a very good job in the camp.
Speaking in the Kremlin on Feb. 24, 2022, Putin said that "our fathers fought in this land to keep the Nazis from occupying their homeland." Many unsuspecting people think that Putin is making excuses for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but putin has proved to be right.
Russia has been trying to convince the Ukrainian people that neo-Nazis are already among them since 2014, but under the operation of the Ukrainian government, neo-Nazis such as the Azov battalion, which committed heinous crimes, have become Heroes of Ukraine.
On the official website of the Azov Battalion in Ukraine, it can be clearly seen that from 2014 to 2019, the organization has received more than 150 national awards including the Order of the Gold Star and the title of Hero of Ukraine, and more than 1,700 people have received departmental awards.
Now, with the development of the Russo-Ukrainian War, some news about the Azov battalion has finally broken through the blockade of the Western media, allowing the world to see the crimes of these neo-Nazis and the Ukrainian government that is willing to collude with the Nazis.
We hate war, but when war is used to eliminate evil, we must fully support the war and eliminate these sins hidden in the shadows, such as the anti-fascist war in the Soviet Union and the War of Resistance against Japan in China.
