Azov Battalion drops neo-Nazi symbol exploited by Russian propagandists
www.thetimes.co.uk
The Azov Battalion has removed a neo-Nazi symbol from its insignia that has helped perpetuate Russian propaganda about Ukraine being in the grip of far-right na

They’re ditching the black sun from their insignia.

It would be unsurprising if all the coverage of Azov from a few years ago (where mainstream media was acknowledging they were Nazis and documenting their youth camps etc) started disappearing.

Please make copies if you can. I know nothing on the internet ever really disappears, but the propaganda machine can effectively suppress. Make them work for it.

    I didn’t realise there was a battalion left to rebrand… still, I suppose they must find something to do as they await trial.

      Reading between the lines, they’re bolstering the regiment with non-nazis and scrubbing their image - either in anticipation of being made to stand trial, or to try to stop haemorrhaging so much proof of nazism every time one of them gets captured or has a camera pointed at them.
