The ๐จ๐ฆ VOC memorial's virtual "Pathway to Liberty" includes at least a dozen members of the Banderite faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and/or Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which largely perpetrated the Holocaust by Bullets in western Ukraine.
Many know by now that Nazi collaborator / ethnic cleanser Roman Shukhevych, UPA commander and the OUN-B leader in Ukraine (1943-50), is part of the "Pathway to Liberty." His "virtual brick" was donated by the "League of Ukrainian Canadians," an OUN-B front cbc.ca/news/politics/โฆ
The League of Ukrainian Canadians (LUC) and its Women's Auxiliary dedicated virtual bricks to nine other people, at least five of them members of the OUN-B and/or UPA, such as Mykola Koshyk, National President of the Society of Veterans of UPA in Canada, as well as...
Petro Mycak, 94, UPA veteran and leading member of the OUN-B, longtime president of the Windsor branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, seen here with the international OUN-B leader in what I believe is the OUN-B headquarters building in Kyiv based on the Bandera portrait.
The Buduchnist Credit Union, the largest Ukrainian financial institution in Canada, is controlled by members of the Banderite LUC and in turn the OUN-B. (Allegedly the CEO of BCU Financial Group is the present-day OUN-B leader in Canada.)
The BCU ("Banderite Credit Union"?) dedicated virtual bricks to Roman Malashchuk (circled left, with Bandera), presumably a war criminal, as well as Volodymyr Okipniuk (circled right, with OUN-B leader Romaniw), another leading OUN-B member in Canada.
Buduchnist Credit Union also sponsored a virtual brick in memory of Vasyl Bezchlibnyk, a member of the OUN-B's Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine (today AKA the LUC) and the Canadian branch of the Banderite-led Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations
And then there's the Ian Ihnatowycz Family Foundation, which I know nothing about, that paid for a brick in memory of Evhen Wreciona, "a senior OUN figure and former head of the 'Ukrainian Police' in Lviv" -- presumably a war criminal -- who worked for the CIA during the Cold War

There are a lot of disturbing videos on that Telegram channel (~264k subscribers) including the Christchurch massacre ("full video in good quality"). On Instagram, where they have 600k followers, the "Ragnarock" brand/group has indicated that it's connected to AZOV & @DI_Ukraine
The admin of "Ragnarock" created a personal Instagram account where he's uploaded clips of "my war." In these videos of his, we see someone with an Azov patch, and a fighter from Azov's unit in ๐บ๐ฆ Special Operation Forces that created the 3rd Assault Brigade (now touring Europe)
Jr. Sgt. Volodymyr Vernyhora is sitting on the left, appears to have a patch from the Azov Brigade's Mykola Stsiborskyi school (named for fascist OUN ideologue who "envisioned the state as a 'natiocracy,' an ethnically defined totalitarianism"-@parudling)
Lt. Arseniy Fedosiuk has been photographed with people making Nazi salutes. His laptop has a sticker of the hardcore neo-Nazi paramilitary group ("Patriot of Ukraine") that spawned Azov. He followed an overtly neo-Nazi VK account "12 years not a slave" (referring to 1933-45)
Part 3 ๐งตโ Some have said Azov can't be neo-Nazi, because one of its most famous fighters is of "Jewish origin." After losing a leg in Azovstal and being freed in a prisoner exchange, Ruslan "David" Serbov visited Israel for rehabilitation, which he used to promote ๐บ๐ฆ Nazi brands
"David" was among the Azov fighters flown to Mariupol by ๐บ๐ฆ military intelligence after ๐ท๐บ invaded. Here he is in
Azovstal with Oleksandr Kravtsov, the Hitler-tattooed commander of the "ะะตะดะผะตะดั SS," an openly neo-Nazi squad that fought with Azov Regiment.
Azov's "myth-busting" website () says that "David" went to Israel in November 2022. By February 2023 he visited the Dead Sea, wearing a hoodie that says "NS," which is a double entendre: "National Socialist" and "North Side," the name of this neo-Nazi brand azovcontrafake.com
According to his LinkedIn account, Smelyansky has worked in Tel Aviv for years and has "native or bilingual" proficiency in Hebrew + Russian, but he obviously identifies as a ๐บ๐ฆ neo-Nazi. Here he is with Azov leader Andriy Biletsky, wearing ๐บ๐ฆ Nazi brands "SvaStone" and "REICH."
Smelyansky's a big fan of SvaStone owned by Arseniy Bilodub, a leader of extremist Right Sector & the neo-Nazi band "Sokyra Peruna." Smelyansky has one of their "V Legion" shirts & his private Instagram quotes one of their songs. He met Bilodub last year.
The "Israeli Friends of Ukraine" is said to be "the leading pro-๐บ๐ฆ organization in ๐ฎ๐ฑ" & works closely w. the ๐บ๐ฆ embassy in Tel Aviv. Zelensky awarded medals (3rd degree Order of Merit) to IFU co-chairs, including Vyacheslav Feldman who has signed rockets for Gaza "Slava Ukraini"
A year ago, the "Israeli Friends of Ukraine" arranged meetings in Tel Aviv for Azov vet Arseniy Fedosiuk (circled in 3rd pic), whose wife has traveled around the world on behalf of this neo-Nazi movement & used to work for one of its far-right publishers.
