“THE AZOV MEN USE THE NEO-NAZI WOLFSANGEL (WOLF’S HOOK) SYMBOL ON THEIR BANNER AND MEMBERS OF THE BATTALION ARE OPENLY WHITE SUPREMACISTS, OR ANTI-SEMITES.

“PERSONALLY, I’M A NAZI,” said “Phantom”, a 23-year-old former lawyer at the ceremony wearing camouflage and holding a Kalashnikov. “I don’t hate any other nationalities but I believe each nation should have its own country.” He added: “We have one idea: to liberate our land from terrorists.””

Tension high in Ukrainian border towns menaced by Russian forces, Shaun Walker in Mariupol and Alec Luhn in Novoazovsk, The Observer, Saturday 30 August 2014:

“2 MAY CLASHES IN ODESSA BETWEEN PRO-RUSSIA AND PRO-UKRAINE GROUPS LEAVE 42 PEOPLE DEAD.”

(the following is in the online version but was omitted from the print version of the Observer 31/8/14: “most of them pro-Russia activists burned to death when the trade union building where they had barricaded themselves caught fire. Russia describes the deaths as a massacre”.)

But other eyewitness reports, for example in the Kyiv Post, said pro-Ukrainian activists rescued dozens of people from the burning building. Some people got to ledges and were helped by ambulance ladders. Some fell. Some people were reported to have shouted “die” as people fell.
One of those who had been at the building, Anatoly, said the people inside were not “pro-Russian activists”. He told the BBC: “We are from Odessa. It’s just about Odessa, about peace. It was horror. IT WAS ANNIHILATION OF PEOPLE BELIEVED TO BE SEPARATISTS. But I am not separatist, I was born in Odessa.”
