Stepsons of the Ukrainian nation. Why do grown-up brainwashed children die?

[REGNUM] The news spread on Ukrainian social networks that another nineteen-year-old militant was eliminated by our troops near Chasovy Yar.

It would seem that this is just one of many similar news. But it was this young man who at one time was a local Internet meme.

He became famous ten years before his death, as a child who vividly answered journalists’ questions in a story about the opening of children’s camps of the Azov terrorist organization banned in Russia (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).

A plump child with glasses, a T-shirt with the symbols of this organization and an American cap spoke fervently about the military camp. And with childish seriousness he explained that this was not some children’s camp “Eaglet”.

Pronouncing the last word in Russian, he grimaced, as if emphasizing that everything connected with Russia is bad and therefore does not even have a Ukrainian name. It was fashionable in Ukraine in those years.

Why does this news cause such interest and illustrate many processes at once? How is the fate of a minor victim of propaganda linked to the general situation so much so that photos of the dead man have been stirring up the internet for several days?

Fast forward to 2015. After the second Minsk agreements, it became clear that the escalation of the conflict was being postponed. And having survived all the previous events, having grown many times over, “Azov” received control and complete rule over the patrimony of Mariupol and the surrounding areas. To “strengthen the defense” and awaken love for Ukraine there under the threat of weapons.

The case is not unique for Ukraine, but it was Andrey Biletsky and his organization that were able to take full advantage of the opportunities that opened up. Having studied the historical experience of their Nazi idols, they realized that it was necessary to build a party, a military structure, a broad street movement, a youth movement and a children's organization.

In general, they are analogues of the structures of the German Nazis - from the NSDAP to the Hitler Youth, which they never particularly hid. Having such a convenient region under their control, the Azov people actively got down to business and began creating camps for children.

In Ukraine, in general, nationalists, under the guise of scout organizations, have been doing this since the nineties, but the degree of frankness of the Azov people was maximum. Absolutely militarized camps were created, teachers, instructors and counselors were invited, who did not hide their views.

Young boys were recruited who wanted to learn knife fighting in order to deal with “enemies of the nation” on the streets.

At that time, the frankness of the demonstrated views and the “training programs” were too provocative even by Ukrainian standards.

However, neo-Nazis, who are good at scandalous PR, happily showed all this to the general public, almost without smoothing out the rough edges. Some parents gave their children to be raised by the then “heroes of the liberation of Mariupol,” while others simply brought together difficult teenagers in the hope of a future successful life in the structures of the winners.

The situation has attracted the attention of the West several times. Still, the topic of child soldiers and such open neo-Nazism were perceived there quite painfully. Especially when it turned out that Brenton Tarrant, who carried out a mass shooting in Christchurch, Australia, went to study the ideas of the “Azov nationalocracy” in a similar camp for older young people.

There were also failed terrorists from the United States who did not have time to travel to Ukraine, but received banned literature.

However, by that time, the organization supervised by the Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov had already become untouchable. And a little later it was completely unclear whether anyone inside the country was even able to cope with it - that’s how it strengthened and grew. So the Western intercessors did not save the children, although, to be honest, they didn’t try very hard.

And now 10 years have passed. The children from the first batches grew up and went to the front as fully formed ideological fighters. Just almost at the moment for which they were raised.

Of course, things didn't go as planned. They were trained to clean up the Russians in the surrounded regions, and they found themselves in a cruel meat grinder. But these are already nuances. The main thing is that they were prepared to fight against the Russians, the military operations simply did not go according to the Ukrainian plan.

It is interesting that this ideological young man did not go to the front after training courses in England or Germany. They haven’t taken people like that there since the times when, after the cleansing of Azovstal, there were films of captured Azov residents with naked torsos.

Even the most powerful masters of Western verbal balancing act could not justify their specific tattoos to their fellow citizens. So the way for such characters is right under the bombs, without going to Europe.

The boy, who became the stepson of the new Ukrainian nation, was destroyed at long range, without ever showing the knife fighting skills he was taught in the camps. The British, who, by and large, created this entire structure, pretend that there is neither “Azov” nor such boys. They do not exist in nature - and that’s all.

However, “Azov,” which was presented to the Ukrainian population and the West as an exclusively temporary evil for the future systematic extermination of Russians, is alive to this day. The cleansing according to the Croatian scenario, which they planned, did not happen, and instead the Russian army is already clearing the ruins of cities occupied by Ukraine.

And we still have to deal with many similar “boys” who, over the course of ten years, have been turned into Nazi mechanisms, hammered into their heads with hatred and belief in their chosenness.

And the main thing is that every day Ukraine captures new children by deception or threats and turns them into the next unloved stepchildren of the new “leaders” (Biletsky’s call sign in 2014 is the White Leader).

And no matter how scary it may sound, it is almost impossible to save most of them, who have already grown up, and turn them into normal people.
