As Jew, I was suspicious about Azov, because of Andrey Biletskiy, which looked like a Russian agent for me, so I took opportunity to visit Azov, when Civil Azov (volunteer organisation) asked for help in the end of 2014, because many Azov members wanted to visit home for Christmas after half of year at front line.

I found no Nazi in Azov at all at that time. However, I found Russian agents in Civil Azov, which pretended to be Nazi. They used Nazi symbolic, 14 88, etc. like clowns. I blended in, by pretending that I'm spying on Ukrainians, but then I did mistake and escaped. I reported them, so they are cleaned.

He is a strong denier of Russian interference in the 2016 election, has been vocal in his support for Assad, and denied, not only China's genocide on Uyghurs, but that the Uyghur population even exists.

There's an article on The Gray Zone by the center for right wing analysis here https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2020/09/25/1-6-2/

Browsing through Alex Rubinstein's Twitter it's clear that his argument basically boils down to "the west has done shitty things, so they're not allowed to say that Putin is bad for invading Ukraine"

This article is not meant to convince anyone that Putin is the good guy. It's meant to make readers doubt whether they're supporting Nazis by supporting sanctions as response to Putin's invasion - shifting the focus from the fact that Putin is indiscriminately bombing civilians.

It's perfect execution of the alt-right propaganda playbook - meant to induce apathy, because that's all that is needed for Putin to succeed with his imperialistic dreams.
