Well it’s been reported that the Azov battalion is being paid by the Ukrainian Oligarch Kolomoisky who is Jewish, so I guess they were willing to overlook that for money. And besides those Ukrainians being called ‘Nazis’ are called that because they were aligned with Germany in WW2 against Russia, so their definition of what constitutes a Nazis may differ somewhat from ours.
Exactly. Russia’s definition of ‘Nazi’ is anyone who is opposed to Russia, it has nothing to do with that person’s actual political philosophy. Yes, in WWII many Ukrainians aligned with the Germans but for very understandable reasons. Stalin just got done starving millions of them to death, is anyone surprised that they would align with anyone, even Hitler to fight against the genocidal maniac who tried to exterminate them?
And Putin is using the notorious Wagner Group, founded by Dimitri Utkin, a former GRU who is identified as being Neo-Nazi (he even has an SS tattoo on his neck or shoulder). The Wagner Group chose its name because of German composer Richard Wagner, Hitler’s favorite composer. Within the Wagner Group is a unit called Task Force Rusich, which is also reported to have Neo-Nazi sympathies.

BS - the Nazi word is applied by the Orc hierarchy to any group or entity that the Kremlin dislikes, and further, was pushed by Pootie Toot’s FSB buddy as a way to rouse popular support.
It boils down to the whole Azov/Ukraine Nazi meme is Orc propaganda and repeating it is to become a Orc stooge.
