In 2016, Biletsky, who by then had left the regiment, established the far-right National Corps Party, headed by Azov veterans. Ukraine, despite Putin’s lies, is not teeming with fascists...

Which is why they have so little influence throughout the country right? anakin-padme-4

I swear to christ, this shit is for the birds

Most Ukrainians aren't Nazis, but Nazis effectively control the army and the police, and have a massive influence on education.
