Ukrainian neo-Nazi gloats over brutally killed opposition activists, and wishes their fate on all ‘traitors’. Known by the company one keeps, the Western Regimes openly aid and weaponize a psychopathic radicalised regiment that has been compared to ISIS; outlawed in Russia but is wholeheartedly supported by the Western regimes and their mainstream media.

A Ukrainian officer who at one point commanded the notorious ultra-xenophobic Azov regiment has gloated on social media over graphic photos of dead members of an opposition party. The activists disappeared from the Ukrainian-held city of Severodonetsk in early March and appear to have been executed, with Maksim Zhorin implying such a fate awaits all traitors.

‘This is what the ‘Patriots for Life’ from Severodonetsk look like now,’ Zhorin sneered in a now-deleted Telegram post on Wednesday. ‘They disappeared on March 7, and now their new photos have appeared. They look like that,’ he added with a smirking-face emoji.

‘I would not be surprised if the investigation finds out that they shot themselves in the head when they realized how stupid they were when they went to cooperate with [Ilya] Kiva,’ he added, in a reference to the Ukrainian MP who fled to Russia in January.

Prosecutors in Kiev had charged Kiva, an outspoken critic of President Volodymyr Zelensky, with treason on March 6, the day before the activists went missing. He had fled the country after being kicked out by his party, ’Opposition Platform For Life.’

That did not save the faction, and almost a dozen others, from being temporarily banned by Zelensky on March 20. A law allowing for permanent bans was adopted on May 14.

Zhorin’s post showed the badly disfigured faces of three men and a woman, in body bags. They appear to have been brutally tortured and then murdered in a cruel manner, said the Telegram channel ’Witch Hunt,’ which first brought attention to the Azov leader’s post.

Ukraine is ‘not even medieval, it is ISIS,’ the channel added, in a reference to the Washington-sponsored Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, known for its savage beheadings of prisoners.

Severodonetsk became Ukraine’s military administration centre for the disputed Lugansk region in the east of the country. It is a major stronghold of troops loyal to Kiev and is currently the site of heavy fighting with Russian troops, as well as Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics’ forces.

Zhorin isn’t just any member of Azov, a notorious Ukrainian militia that has adopted horrific iconography. He joined them in 2014, at the very start of the turmoil in Ukraine, and actually commanded the unit from August 2016 to September 2017, though his rank in the National Guard of Ukraine is only first lieutenant.

His official biography says Zhorin took part in the taking of Mariupol and Marinka and survived the 2014 defeat at Ilovaisk. In October 2017, he set up the Kharkov regional branch of Azov’s political wing, the National Corps, and became a member of the party’s central committee in January 2020.
