This presentation appears to be a response to other media in the internet which show Nazi symbols being used by Russian contractors abroad. Nazi symbols are banned in Russia and their use carry with them a hefty criminal liability.
The video is in Russian but is translatable. Fortunately, the presenters speak near perfect Russian, so the translation is very good.
[Rusvesna] The crime of the Ukrainian state is emphasized by the fact that in the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine there is quite officially a real Nazi unit, the Azov Regiment. The unit was created on the basis of Ukrainian Nazi societies and football fanboys.
From the very moment of Azov's creation, special attention was paid to advertising the unit -- the battalion, and then the regiment received -- in addition to the official salary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, funds from Ukrainian oligarchs and from abroad.
This allowed the leadership of Azov Regiment, and, above all, Andrei Biletsky, to appropriate the huge funds collected by the "volunteers".
How justified is the advertising of Azov Regiment?
Are the harsh tattooed Nazis and neo-pagans really effective fighters? Or is it just PR?
"The battle history" of 'Azov'" is being analyzed by activists of the Patriotic Association of Donbass in their new video.

[REGNUM] In the foreseeable future, the unification of such parties as "Fair Russia - Patriots - For Truth" (SR) and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is out of the question, said candidate for the State Duma from Fair Russia, Alexander Tarnavsky at a round table in Moscow.
Tarnavsky explained his position by the fact that such associations imply the absorption of a stronger party by a weaker one. Now, neither Fair Russia, nor the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are so weak as to be swallowed up by one another.
"I think that in the near future it is impossible. And for obvious reasons. Everyone wants to unite for themselves. I am friends with many representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. There are different teams. Ideologically, it is possible to expand, but in such a way that one swallows up the other, it is impossible that way. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has its own ideology, respectfully speaking, we will not grow together. And this will not be possible in the near future," Tarnavsky said.
At the same time, according to the leader of A Just Russia - For the Truth, Sergei Mironov, the union of the SR and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation would help to defend the interests of citizens more successfully, but it is impossible under the current leadership of the Communist Party.
Earlier, Zakhar Prilepin, the co-chairman of A Just Russia - For Truth, made a proposal to integrate the left-wing forces.
The ballot paper for voting in the federal electoral district will include the LDPR, "Communists of Russia", "Fair Russia - Patriots - For Truth", the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, "Civic Platform", the Russian Party of Freedom and Justice (RPSS), "Rodina", "Greens" , Green Alternative, Party of Pensioners, Party of Growth, Yabloko, New People and United Russia.
