Why the Far Right Joined the 2013-14 Ukraine Crisis | Decade of Hate
The 2013-14 Ukraine Crisis attracted far-right foreign fighters from around the world, who came to fight on both sides of the conflict.
Azov, a Ukrainian battalion with deep roots in the ultranationalist and hooligan scenes, drew foreign radicals attracted by its extremist politics. Others joined pro-Russian militias, attracted by the notion of Putin’s Russia as a staunch defender of a traditionalist Christian Europe.
In this episode of Decade of Hate, host Tim Hume looks back at how the war in Ukraine acted as a training ground for the international far right, giving them real-life combat experience, which they could then bring home with them.
This film was produced in May 2021.
