… until he realized how useful it was for laundering their image as nazis.
Now I wanna be skeptical of this stuff. I don’t wanna be blind. The logo at the end makes me think this is Russian nationalist propaganda etc. However it totally lines up with what we already know about Azov, and it neatly answers the liberal weaponization of Zelensky’s identity as a Jewish man against any who are skeptical of the Ukrainian military.
Does anyone know
1: Who this is?
2: if he is being interviewed under duress?
3: Are the subtitles correct?
the subs are accurate atleast
The ending bit leads one to twitter: https://twitter.com/r_u_vid/status/1509270803715526656. According to that:
- This is Dmitro Korchynksy (natopedia), leading fash groups since 90s
- I would guess no because both he and the interviewer are speaking Ukrainian and not Russian? There’s little reason for figure of such caliber to be under duress otherwise.
- The subs are correct. Like, I would say “thuggish” instead of “unprincipled” at about 11s but it should all convey the meaning.
I mean this is probably what most of Azov people think, but you can’t take much from this video in particular. I think filming people like this during war, especially if they’re prisioners of war, is against the Geneva conventions.
As we know in war, when the enemy commits a war crime, you are given a coupon to commit one (1) equivalent war crime
shocker the cia backed military has extreme right wing elements, it doesn’t really change the fact that both militaries are not great, or make Russia look better. even if Ukraine is justified in-defending itself
