I agree, brandishing SS symbols is misplaced and wrong by however few actually do it. Honestly, you opened my eyes a bit. Growing up in western Ukraine, my half-Polish family told stories of the Lviv pogroms and how numerous Ukrainians provided shelter for Jewish families and helped them hide but I never knew the extent of Ukrainian participation.

Has it ever occurred to you that Azov Battalion is nothing more than an element of Russian disinformation campaign aimed at diluting facts and masking Kremlin’s true intentions? The fact that there’s a nationalist movement in Ukraine should not be a surprise given the massacre in Feb 2014, annexation of Crimea, an 8-year war-by-proxy that followed, and now an outright invasion. Painting any desire at establishing a sense of unity and instilling pride as nazism is absurd.
