    Had a hard time seeing the rainbow flag because I had never noticed that the Azov patch also has the black sun in the backdrop.

        In before Latvia justifies all those swastikas as 4 Ls which represent "Live Love Laugh Latvia".

        It actually is an I over an N, it's just that the meaning is Incredibly Nazi.

          it's totally just a wolfsangel which was used by nazi units in WW2 and the "idea of a nation" thing is just BS they use to cover it. the ukrainian for "Idea of a Nation" is Ідея Нації, so why would they use two latin letters instead? If they overlayed "І" and "Н" instead which is how it looks in Ukrainian, they'd get something like a trident, which is also important to them, but instead they go for this obviously German-derived wolfsangel thing.

            Ідея

            Idk why but Slavic words that sound like English words always crack me up.. My favorite Russian one is документ. It sounds like a Hollywood version of a Soviet villain speaking broken English.

      They did a 'rebrand' a few years ago and supposedly 'retired' that old patch.

      Because that fixes everything.

          Oh right, I'm sure I read somewhere it was longer than that. Probably mixed it up with something else equally facile and abhorrent.
