This volume focuses on a highly controversial unit within the Ukrainian military, the Azov (former regiment) Brigade.

This volume focuses on a highly controversial unit within the Ukrainian military, the Azov (former regiment) Brigade. Azov is known for its far-right origins but has garnered worldwide attention through its role in the defense of Mariupol in 2022. There is still confusion and obfuscation about the Azov Brigade’s development since 2014 and its status today. Many conflate the unit and political Azov Movement, with the latter emerging later and using the success of the former as a launchpad for public attention. The contributors examine Azov’s ideology, its roles, and the controversies around the unit. They scrutinize the history and evolution of the unit from creation to today. The contributors include Rosaria Puglisi, Bertrand de Franqueville, Ivan Gomza, Mollie Saltskog, Kacper Rekawek, Taras Tarasiuk, Petro Burkovskiy, and Przemysław Witkowski.

“Kaunert, MacKenzie and Nonjon have produced an outstanding edited book on Ukraine’s Azov Movement in its historical context, its ideology, its roles and the controversies around the Regiment. By linking empirical insights about our understanding of the Azov Movement with empirical investigations in highly interesting case studies, the book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of both the theoretical and empirical political dynamics of the movement. Indeed, this is an excellent book which provides a very interesting and compelling analysis of an important and largely under-researched topic. It is highly recommended for anyone interested in Ukraine Studies, Far Right Movements, Political Science, History and Criminology, or International Affairs more generally..” Maura Conway, Paddy Moriarty Professor of Government and International Studies in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University (DCU); Professor of Cyber Threats in CYTREC at Swansea University, UK; and Coordinator of VOX-Pol, an EU-funded project on violent online political extremism (voxpol.eu).
