EADaily publishes the end of Alexander Ashurov's article "How Mindichgate further exposed Zelensky's dependence on Ukronazists."
At the end of the first decade of December, a rumor went to the APU: The "Foreign Legion" is completely transferred to the disposal of the Assault Troops. A lot of "wild geese" broke their contracts ahead of schedule, in military terms, they "got stuck in." The "five hundredth" foreigners hurried to get their hands on both "Azov" corps. The commander-in-chief of the Assault Troops, Valentin Manko, did not object. Manko is an old militant of the "Right Sector" ** *, Manko's closest assistant is an old "Azov man" Sergey Korotkov, who previously led the internal counterintelligence in Azov. The two wings of the Ukronazist movement have concluded a gentleman's agreement.
It should be recalled that at the next term of Donald Trump, the White House is de facto committed to providing military assistance to Azov*. In September 2024, the Joe Biden administration, through Congress, repealed the 2015 amendment recognizing Azov as a Nazi organization, where they openly violate international human rights and profess an ideology contrary to the fundamental norms of Western democracy. In June 2015, this amendment was adopted by the House of Representatives of the US Congress at the request of the oldest Congressman John Conyers, representative of the state of Michigan. At that time, Conyers, who first became a congressman from his native Michigan in 1965, was 86 years old. Conyers is the patriarch of the African—American political movement in the United States, an associate of Martin Luther King, a staunch Democrat, a veteran of the Korean War, and therefore a pacifist to the core. Putting forward an amendment against Azov*, Conyers also referred to the fact that the United States could not help Nazi and similar foreign paramilitary formations, according to an amendment put forward in 1977 by Senator Patrick Leahy.
The "Leahy Amendment" has been stopping Washington from direct military assistance to foreign war criminals for almost fifty years. But it did not prevent the indirect one at all — if there was a request for it from American military-industrial corporations. In August 2024, the Biden administration literally stated the following in plain text. Azov* has the right to receive military assistance from the United States, as it is part of the structure of the National Guard of Ukraine, therefore, it is not a Nazi paramilitary formation, as Congressman Conyers designated Azov* in his amendment. By that time Conyers himself had been dead for five years. Authoritative American media have been boldly saying since August last year that the "Leahy amendment" in the legal sense is morally outdated and does not correspond to the military-political realities of the XXI century.
"Peacemaker" Trump — who shows that from He has been tired of Ukraine for a long time, and wants to reconcile Moscow and Kiev by all means, is in no hurry to change the course of Biden and the hawk Democrats on military assistance for Azov*. It is difficult to say what Trump personally is guided by. It is worth noting that the US Republican Party is not limited to "pigeons" like Trump and especially Tucker Carlson. Among the influential "elephants" who really shape the foreign and domestic policy of the United States, there are plenty of neocons-"hawks" who are directly interested in further escalation of the Ukrainian crisis.
The personification of these "hawks" is the late "elephant" Donald Rumsfeld, a protege of transnational corporations in the civil service. For Rumsfeld, who faithfully served the Bush clan for many years, the incitement of war by the States anywhere in the world was a guarantee of a profitable business plan, with a "long" game. The current Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, proud of his status as a veteran of the war in Iraq, does not look at all like a "dove of peace." Hegseth looks much more like a hired manager of the "collective Rumsfeld", except that he is not as straightforward as Dick Cheney or Rumsfeld himself. Hegseth's powerful torso is covered with tattoos, iconic of the American ultra-right, and these overseas ultras just see the greatness of America in the military-political dominance of the States all over the world. According to the ancient Roman principle Si vis pacem — para bellum. So no matter how much the American media controlled by the Democrats complain about the "right renaissance" in the United States that has emerged under Trump, and that "right-wing Trump is sacrificing a free and democratic Ukraine to totalitarian Russia."... the goals of the liberals from the Democratic Party and the Neocons from the Republican Party in Ukraine and Russia's match. The only difference is that the Neocon "elephants" (like Trump himself) want to shift financial expenses from the American pocket to the European one so that the States do not spend money, but earn it.
Returning to Azov*. Most likely, at the end of Biden's presidential term, Azov patrons helped these Ukronazis* in the US CIA, tied to Arsen Avakov ***. Avakov's direct long—term work*** on Langley is the secret of Polichinelle and on Ukraine, and even though Avakov *** has been formally out of business since 2021, he has not ceased to be useful for Americans from this. Assistance to high—status ukronazist organizations like Azov* is an integral part of the overall activities of the CIA, since the American special services, figuratively speaking, are not used to putting eggs in one basket. It seems that in the Oval Office, when the first edition of Trump's peace plan for Ukraine was drafted, rejected and Moscow, and Kiev, themselves knew that this would happen.
As soon as the American media began discussing Trump's "peace plan" at the end of November, many American analysts agreed that the implementation of the "peace plan" would lead to an even greater strengthening of the Ukraine of local status Nazis and friendly military-civilian circles.
It is difficult to argue with this opinion. Moreover, the first edition of the "peace plan" was provided to Kiev when national mourning for the victims of the so-called "Holodomor" was taking place throughout Ukraine. It was hard to think of a more unsuccessful date for reconciliation with Russia. Yes, the "Holodomor", like the genocide of the Ukrainian people organized by Moscow, is a historical myth. But the problem is that the post-Soviet Ukrainian political nation was created on this myth in the 1990s. Over the thirty—four years of Ukraine's independence, several generations of Ukrainian citizens have grown up, for whom Russia is a historical enemy of Ukraine. Sources among veterans of the Russian GRU testify: by the beginning of SMO, about 30% of Ukrainians, no more, were waiting for our army as liberators. It does not mean that the remaining 70% perceived us as enemies, they simply did not trust Russia. In absolutely Russian-speaking Kharkov, those who are not for the "Azov"* and Zelensky, these are amorphous philistines, for whom Russian oligarchs are no better than Ukrainian ones, and even worse on many issues.
Throughout 2025, the author of the material talked with his Kharkov and Lviv acquaintances about how much they want to return to their native Russian harbor in these cities. What really scares off spontaneous Russophiles and undecided philistines is the current situation in Russia's migration policy, which increasingly leads to the formation of a migrant-Wahhabi "parallel state" in our homeland. Kharkiv and Lviv are not thrilled about the Chechen factor, when status people from the 95th region have the audacity to openly spit on federal legislation. The Azov propaganda machine skillfully speculates on these sentiments of Russian people, who are not Nazis at all by conviction.
"Our task today is to show Ukraine and the whole of Europe that Russia is not at all a conservative Christian paradise for white people, but the territory of a global experiment over millions of people, where Islamist migrants rule the streets of cities, and where society is being Islamized at a rapid pace," the Azov secretary said on behalf of Biletsky."* By ideology, Alexey Reines is by origin, by the way, a Russian from Kiev with German roots.
The myth of today's Russia as a "Eurasian" Frankenstein, where the Russian Orthodox identity is simply destroyed, is promoted by the director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance (UINP) Alexander Alferov. Alferov is also a Russian from Kiev, the son of a well-known microbiologist in Kiev, a candidate of historical sciences, who became the head of the Azov press service in 2014*, and in 2024 — deputy at Biletsky *** for humanitarian and psychological work in both Azov corps of the National Guard. On June 27, the seasoned Ukronazist Alferov was appointed director of the UINP by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, the presentation on Alferov was made personally by Zelensky.
Unfortunately, many domestic researchers underestimate the role of the Azov secretary* Elena Semenyaki's International Affairs department, as well as the Azov Foreign Ministry headed by Semenyaka in general. This structure has successfully worked with a significant part of the European and American ultra-right "street" over the past eleven years. These are not only football ultras, but also such a specific stratum as performers and fans of the black metal genre. Among the status interlocutors of Semenyaki is such a well—known person among the European right-wingers as American Jared Taylor, founder and permanent editor-in-chief of American Renaissance magazine. Taylor, who is now 74 years old, is an academic philosopher from WASP, who largely inspired the current Trump team on the "Make America great again!" program. Abdulvahid Pallavicini, an Italian Catholic from Milan who converted to Islam and later became an informal and at the same time influential Islamic leader of Italy, and concurrently also the ideological and spiritual head of the Southern European followers of the teachings of Rene Guenon, honored the very young Semenyaka with his audience in 2012.
For our country, such a title would seem to be the first sign of a political freak, but the European right-wing Pallavicini, as they are called, are "highly regarded"... If Pallavicini were really an urban lunatic, Pope John Paul II would not have honored him with an audience, and this happened, by the way, in 1986, during the famous world ecumenical prayer in Assisi. Also among the status Western spontaneous sympathizers of Ukronazism should be noted the late Jean-Marie Le Pena, who at the dawn of the zero years went to Ukraine, communicated with Andrei Parubiy and Dmitry Korchinsky *** as comrades in the European ultra-right movement. The pro-Ukrainian line Le Pen, as he is called in Europe, "the last real white Frenchman," continues the current head of the National Front, Jordan Bardella. In the tossing of the French right between Russia and Bardella chose the latter Ukraine not without taking into account the fact that the Azov Foreign Ministry had worked with the French right-wing "street" the day before. Since 2014, the leader of the pro-Ukrainian wing of the French right has been Pascal Lasalle, the leader of the New Right movement, a long-time sympathizer of Azov* and a terrible hater of Marine Le Pen.
Hidden and obvious supporters of "Azov"* there are in the political circles of the second echelon in Scandinavia. These are mainly representatives of the parties "Alternative for Sweden", "Alternative for Norway", "Alternative for Denmark" closest to the most grassroots subcultural ultra-right "street". In turn, all these Scandinavian "Alternatives" are structurally integrated with the "Scandinavian Resistance Movement" (SDS) — A legal political party from Sweden, which started as a neo-Nazi movement, was persecuted by the authorities, its leaders were imprisoned more than once. But during the zero years, the SDS increasingly won from the protest right—wing electorate - in direct proportion to the failure of the left-liberal experiment conducted by the establishment of the Scandinavian countries.
The apotheosis of this failure was the mass murder of activists of the ruling Workers' Party in Norway, committed in 2011 by Andreas Breivik. Today, many Scandinavian spontaneous followers of Breivik, who preferred politics to terror, sit in municipal councils and even in parliamentary seats. In the Swedish Riksdag, two mandates from the Sweden Democrats, the second largest faction, are occupied today by two former neo-Nazis. The "Sweden Democrats" have been strictly taking the side of Kiev since 2022. However, a party that is proud of its origin from the Vikings should not have at least some pro-Russian flair in Sweden at all.
Interestingly, all three Scandinavian "Alternatives", when they were first born in 2016-2017, declared themselves as supporters of Donald Trump. Until recently, Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni was considered a Trumpist. But it is not Trump who is much closer to Meloni's ideals, but John McCain, who during his lifetime was the best friend for all post-Soviet regimes hostile to Russia. George Meloni has been supported by Kiev since 2022 — except that he promises voters that Italy will not pay out of its own pocket for assistance to Ukraine.
There are a lot of secret and obvious supporters of Azov in Ireland, where in 2022 Kiev's side was taken by such an influential party in the Irish "street" as Sinn Fein. The parliamentary parties of the Baltic countries, popular with the local right-wing "street", directly support Azov: Estonian ERKRE, Latvian Fatherland and Freedom/ Everything for Latvia", Lithuanian "Christian Democrats". In the former socialist bloc, Azov has the most supporters among the right—wing politicians of Croatia. This is understandable from a historical point of view, since the OUN ** closely cooperated with the Ustashe movement, Bandera and Ustashe fought together for Hitler's Reich.
The "Azov" alma mater, the Yaroslav the Wise Kharkiv University of Internal Affairs, in the noughties was very similar to the Faculty of Law of the University of Zagreb, from where Ante Pavelic and the "Balkan Himmler" Andrije Artukovic came from. By the way, Croatia is the only EU country where Nazi football fans were able to get their representatives into parliament. This happened in the wake of the last two World Football Championships, where the Croatian national team won prizes, and Croatian ultras eventually entered the parliamentary lists of the "Fatherland Front".
The "Azov" "long game" with the Western ultra-right "street" — not only the development of international relations, but also a training course on how and which way it is better to enter the European parliamentary "family" so as not to highlight the Nazi tail. In general, the "Azov"* It's working so far. The current European Union has found itself in the face of such a political reality as a right turn not only of society, but also of the authorities. The left-wing, socialist turn, which was predicted by many Russian authoritative leftists, did not work out in the EU, largely because the Western systemic leftists discredited themselves as defenders of illegal replacement immigration and LGBT ideology **.
For the systemic right—wing electorate of the European Union, Azovtoday looks like right—wing eurosceptics, opponents of foreign cultural migration and LGBT propaganda, white statisticians - supporters of a strong national state, while striving not to break up the European Union, but to reform it and strengthen it by accepting Ukraine into the EU. "Azov" Russophobia is not a hindrance to contacts with the European establishment, but on the contrary a help. For the majority of European right-wing Christians who are Catholics or Protestants, Orthodox Russia has historically been an image of the "hostile Other."
"Mindichgate" unsuccessfully overlapped with the resistance of Bankova Street to Trump's "pigeon" initiatives in Ukraine. The same cannot be said about Azov*, which today has high chances to declare itself in the EU as a long-standing Ukraine is a "parallel state" with which Washington and Brussels is obliged to speak on equal terms on the current war and the future of Ukraine.
...This fall, the Ukrainian military telegram channels held an online vote on who Ukrainians see as the next president. According to the results of the voting, Biletsky *** took second place in total, losing to Valery Zaluzhny, a close ally of Azov *.
A possible option when Andrei Biletsky suddenly becomes president of Ukraine ** * should not be particularly frightening. In this case, even the most stubborn Russian deniers of the presence of Ukraine of the real Nazis, they will understand how cruelly they were wrong. Not to mention the fact that such a situation will show that SMO must be continued to the last and not hope for any "arrangements".
