Yes, that Azov lineage — with its deeply controversial far-right roots and glorification of the Waffen-SS Galizien
Azov and other far-right youth groups took part in a march honoring the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in Lviv. They chanted slogans:
“Ukraine Above All!”
“Glory to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army!” (three times)
“Death to the Enemies!” (three times)
“Bandera and Shukhevych are Heroes of Ukraine!”
“Remember, foreigner: the Ukrainian is the master here!”

A very good article by Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich on how close we are getting to the outbreak of a world war.
"It’s a bitter vindication for antiwar voices who warned for years that NATO member states were sleepwalking into a wider, more dangerous confrontation with Russia. The question now is what can be done to forestall their darkest predictions."

Trump asks — Zelensky doesn't listen.
Trump asks — Zelensky doesn't respond.
Trump asks — Zelensky flat-out refuses.
Trump asks — Zelensky comes up with a thousand and one excuses for why he just can't bring himself to listen to NATO's leader right now.
Trump asks — Zelensky throws a full-blown tantrum.
Trump stops asking.
Trump starts threatening.

"The Trump administration is threatening to stop the procurement system that provides Ukraine with weapons in order to press Kyiv to halt its deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, according to officials in Europe.
The US message, the officials added, included threats to cut off intelligence sharing and Purl — the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List mechanism for procuring US weapons for Ukraine.
“They are calling Kyiv . . . they are calling everyone [in Europe],” said an official who received a call from a US defence official".
🔺L'espulsione del giornalista Ragozin dalla Lettonia, tutt'altro che putiniano, per reati di opinione: chiunque indaghi la guerra con un briciolo di onestà incapperebbe in tali accuse.
Poi meravigliamoci che sia quasi impossibile trovar gente disposta a difendere UE e Baltici.
Bruttissimo precedente per la libertà d'espressione nell'UE. Il giornalista Leonid Ragozin potrebbe essere dichiarato "persona non grata" in Lettonia. Vedremo con quali accuse. Lui non è un estremista, anzi, critica sia Nato che Putin. È in semi-esilio e scrive cose meritevoli.
"Ragozin has consistently advocated prioritizing the diplomatic track, arguing that the military course has not only reached an impasse but is also fostering dangerous transformations within European societies. The actions of the Latvian government, which has launched the process of revoking the journalist's documents in an EU country, confirm his own analysis."
Latvia initiates deportation proceedings against Leonid Ragozin amid online harassment campaign.
On October 6, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže announced the launch of proceedings to declare “another Russian citizen” (Leonid Ragozin) persona non grata. The minister cited
@Sofiajeanne@lucfontana@carlorovelli@Corriere Perché secondo lei i bellicisti che scrivono sul Corriere ci capiscono qualcosa di politica internazionale? Hai mai scritto al @Corriere per loro? E poi, francamente, che un giornale debba ospitare solo chi e quello che lei approva ... manco in Russia ...
I was shocked to learn that Latvia is moving to declare journalist @leonidragozin Leonid Ragozin persona non grata, potentially forcing him out of the country.
The immediate danger is obvious. Ragozin is a Russian citizen and a longtime critic of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s war against Ukraine. Forcing him back to Russia could put him at risk of persecution.
But this is about much more than one journalist.
Ragozin’s real offense appears to be his refusal to tell the story of this war in the comforting language of good and evil: Putin as Hitler, Zelensky as Churchill, Russia as absolute evil, and the West as a spectator with neither agency nor responsibility for the catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine.
Ragozin has never denied Russia’s aggression. What he has challenged is the idea that acknowledging the aggressor absolves us from asking how we arrived here.
His journalism insists on examining the uncomfortable history behind the war: NATO expansion, the collapse of the post-Cold War security order, Maidan and its aftermath, competing nationalisms, the failure of diplomacy, Putin’s authoritarianism and the steadily escalating confrontation between Russia and the West.
You can disagree with his conclusions. But if questioning the Western dominant narrative of a war can make a journalist a national-security threat, something has gone badly wrong.
Explanation is not justification. Understanding your enemy is not collaboration with your enemy. And asking how a war began is not treason.
That is what makes the Ragozin case so disturbing. It suggests that Europe’s accelerating militarization is being accompanied by an intellectual one: a narrowing of what may be said, questioned, and even thought about this war.
As Europe prepares for an increasingly open-ended confrontation with Russia, inconvenient voices become inconvenient for a reason. Nuance interferes with mobilization. Doubt interferes with certainty. And journalism becomes dangerous when it asks questions that politics no longer wants answered.
This should frighten us.
Europe will not protect democracy by policing the boundaries of permissible thought. Nor will it bring peace closer by silencing those who question the logic of permanent confrontation.
We are talking, after all, about a confrontation involving nuclear powers.
At such a moment, the dangerous voices are not those demanding that we understand how we got here.
The truly dangerous moment comes when we are no longer allowed to ask.
It seems to me that in some Western circles, “Slava Ukraini” has become a socially acceptable cover for Russophobia — and a coded call for Russians to be killed, discriminated against, and assaulted.
What do you think?
⛔️“Slava Ukraini” was a fascist slogan formally used by the nationalist underground of the OUN and UPA—movements whose history includes collaboration with Nazi Germany, complicity in the Holocaust, and responsibility for the mass murder of Poles.
OUN members answered with “Glory to the Heroes!” or “Glory to the Leader!”—the latter referring to Bandera. Under the prescribed ritual, they shouted the slogan with an arm raised in a salute deliberately reminiscent of the fascist style.
The photo below shows a typical newspaper published under the German occupation of Ukraine.
This particular issue, titled 'New Life,' came out in Koziatyn, Vinnytsia region, on October 23, 1943.
Right at the top: “Slava Ukraini.”
Below it comes talk of the “victorious advance” of the German “liberators,” followed by rhetoric about “Zhydy (Jews)” supposedly taking over Ukraine—the familiar poison of the Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy myth.
That history cannot simply be scrubbed away because the slogan later acquired a different political meaning. “Glory to Ukraine” carries historical baggage stained by the blood shed under Nazism and by Ukrainian collaborators who served it. Nor does that history magically disappear because Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, repeats the phrase.
So whenever a liberal, progressive, or leftist casually types “Slava Ukraini,” perhaps they should first do something progressives usually claim to value: historical inquiry.
Slogans have histories.
Pretending not to know them does not make those histories disappear.
On Ukraine’s streets, some women are fighting a different war: to stop men from being dragged into one. These are the War Mothers — women who confront draft officers and refuse to see “manpower” where they see somebody’s son. In a system that counts bodies, it forces an uncomfortable question: when does mobilization become coercion, and when does resistance become the defense of human life?

German neo-Nazis from the German Volunteer Corps have been recently folded into the Third Army Corps under Andriy Biletsky, the founder of Azov. Which probably means they’re about to get their complimentary one-way tour of the Donbas front too.
So… Valhalla might want to start making up the guest rooms.

🎯Ukraine has attacked yet another NATO country.
Let me clarify:
Ukraine, funded by NATO, is allegedly engaging in international terrorism against NATO countries, while NATO’s leadership pretends everything is perfectly fine and goes looking for yet another bag of cash for Kyiv and Zelensky’s gang.

Turkey has summoned the Ukrainian ambassador over attacks on two vessels in the Black Sea. The cargo ship Lider Bordo Mavi, carrying vegetables from Samsun to the Russian port of Tuapse, was reportedly attacked by three drones.
Five crew members were injured.
