    Hard to tell when in literally that part you link to a different site. But that still leaves you spreading Russia’s talking points. And FWIW I have edited the page in question after having translated all 3 sources and finding no mention of Azov being proscribed or designated terrorist in any of them.

      Fair enough, I see that it wasn’t mentioned in those 3 sources. Either way, they’re still Neo-Nazi. And in my personal opinion, that makes them terrorists, but I can understand if you don’t want to use the word terrorist. So just call them: Neo-Nazis. That doesn’t make them any less deserving of derision.

        They are neo-nazi (though apparently more nationalist than neo-nazi, or they’d care more about their President being Jewish), but they are also one of the bigger groups fighting against an attack by a fascist state who calls them a terrorist group. So the least one can do is not aligning with that state.
