Original Note:
Russia seizes on Azov’s right wing origins in its efforts to cast their invasion as a battle against Nazi influence. The claims have not been substantiated. Azov was absorbed into Ukraine’s national guard and current members reject extremism and ties with far-right movements. https://lens.monash.edu/@politics-society/2022/08/19/1384992/much-azov-about-nothing-how-the-ukrainian-neo-nazis-canard-fooled-the-world
