They note that this lecture is especially necessary for those "who discovered Ukraine only two months ago and who think that the fact that Ukrainian nationalism is dangerously intertwined with fascism may seem like Russian propaganda. But is it so?"

Tariq Cyril Amar says about Azov: "It was not the state that made Azov "non-Azov". It was Azov who colonized part of the state."
