Colborne, Michael (2022), Ibidem Press
The Azov movement grew from a militia and football hooligans to a social movement. Now, it is a role model for the global far right. The book discusses how the movement could and is exploiting the Ukraines social and political situation including its action in the war. The Author considers the Azov movement as the most dangerous far-right movement in the world.
“From its roots in revolution and war, Ukraine’s Azov movement has grown from a militia of fringe far-right figures and football hooligans fending off Russian-backed forces into a multipronged social movement that has become the envy of the global far right. In this first English-language book on the Azov movement, Michael Colborne explains how Azov came to be and continues to exploit Ukraine’s fractured social and political situation—including the only ongoing war on European soil – to build one of the most ambitious and dangerous far-right movements in the world.”
