Azovism is the political ideology of Azov Battalion Founder Andriy Biletski and the Azov Battalion until he left it in 2016. He is often a scapegoat of Russian Propaganda, despite Azov nowadays not being overtly far right, with only some of the members having neo-Nazi belief since most of them are now members of the Far-Right National Corps party of Ukraine.
The ideology preaches Russophobia and anti-Semitism.
History
According to right‑wing radicalism researcher Vyacheslav Likhachev, Azov had many roots. For example, Jewish activist Nathan Khazin has described a group of around 26 activists in the Automaidan movement in 2013 who he said formed the backbone of Azov, while other sources emphasise the presence of former Patriot of Ukraine activists.
