Simply put, some part of elements/ideology of Azov may be appalling, but Russian is coming to erase their culture. Choose one.

As an Arab this is essentially the choice our countries faced too. Pointing at people defending their land for having a messed up ideology is ignoring the elephant in the room of a foreigner coming to invade - especially when a majority is brutally repressed for decades it is natural that there is a backlash, and an extreme ideology is nothing compared to obliteration by an enemy. Wartime is not like peace. We can have academic discussion once we're free.
