Ok, regarding greektimes they link their info to RIA Novosti - the main russian propagandist media so I miss this instantly. In another article they also mistake a Slavic symbol Kolovrat with Black Sun, calling it a nazi symbol. What I want to clarify at first is that the nazis didn't create new symbols they just took them from Germano Scandinavian and Slavic cultures. That's what I wanted to say first.
Secondly, regarding the history of Azov as a regiment. Yes, it was created by Biletsky with a help of Avakov (Armenian ethnos) and also oligarch Kolomoiskiy (jew), both of them are highly objectionable in our society. Avakov for a long time was a Minister of Internal Affairs and built a very corrupted system. He, basically, completely subjugated the police, brought to the political scene a lot of scoundrels, and his actions, and soon his person began to cause a lot of public outrage and protests.
Kolomoiskiy - co-owner of the Privat group, a well-known corrupt official. In 2020, according to the OCCRP, he was among the four largest corrupt officials in the world, on charges of stealing $ 5 billion from Privatbank through a number of offshore companies.
Also, there also was named Botsman/Maliyuta (Sergei Korotkih). This person is just garbage, one of the biggest pieces of shit that Avakov brought to Ukraine and made him work on him as a personal killer.
He is a famous Belarus-Russian neo-nazi, student of the KGB school, who helped to establish connections between russian MVD and neo-nazi movements. If you are interested in that topic - watch the Vlady Antonewicz documentary about it

Comparing Azov to Al-Qaeda is just nonsense, I don't even want to dig into it. Azov is a part of the National Guard, it's official and the same laws apply to it as to other battalions.
Regarding multicultural

Now about these images of neo-nazis that Bellingcat posted. I will not deny this, it would be stupid, that some people from nationalist or football hooligan movements in Ukraine, same as in many other post-soviet countries, are following neo nazi ideas, using their symbols and stuff like that. There's nothing to be proud of, I would even say it's a shame. A shame, that those people do not know the history of our country and how our nation suffered from 3d Reich's nazis same as we have suffered from the USSR.
I know that the co-founder of Azov Biletsky has a bond with the ex-minister of MVD Avakov. Biletsky often expresses an active position on political crimes made by others but never actually confronted Avakov despite so many repressions towards Ukrainian patriots, activists, and combatants. It is a shame indeed and it shouldn't be like that.
My point is that the Azov regiment as a structure should not be judged by the deeds of these individuals, ESPECIALLY now, when Azov has transformed pretty much into a high standard regiment, that has proven its devotion to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
Azov is not a neo nazi organization, it is not institutionalized in there, the regiment is subordinate to the Ukrainian military command, their military doctrine, and the laws of Ukraine. That is it, now you can call me brainwashed if you wish but I stand my ground.
