    If you want some fun, check out the "Talk" tab at the top of the page. Good for all pages riddled with liberal propaganda like this.

      The Azov talk page is a real treat since they removed the description of them as a neo-Nazi group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Azov_Brigade

      Look at the archives for more, they say Radio Free Europe is a reliable source.

        There's a guy in there talking about how it doesn't matter if the founder of Azov was a white supremacist because he's toned down his rhetoric... Wtf

          meanwhile Azov in 2018:

          Explaining that strategy, [Olena] Semenyaka, who has been photographed holding a flag with a swastika and making a Nazi salute, said that "more radical" language was used previously, such as during the height of the war in 2014, when the Azov Battalion needed fighters, "because it was required by the situation."

          Now, she said, the strategy is to "moderate" in order to appeal to a broader base in Ukraine and abroad. But only to an extent.

          "We are trying to become mainstream without compromising some of our core ideas," she continued, adding that "radical statements...scare away more of society."
