FAQ-U: Ukraine Explained

The Azov Assault Brigade: russia's New Boogeymen


Listen Later

Episode Summary

You've probably heard of the one of the most elite brigades of the National Guard of Ukraine. Maybe you've heard of their bravery, or maybe you've seen the fear they inspire in the russian armed forces. Maybe you've heard the russian propaganda about them.


The guest of today's episode, Vladyslav Zhaivoronok, callsign Wikipedia, of the former Azov Regiment (now Azov Assault Brigade), is a serviceman of the National Guard of Ukraine, a Mariupol defender, an Azovstal defender, and formerly a Russian POW. 


We're going to do our episode a little bit differently. Instead of debunking fakes, we are going to introduce you to an average guy who decided to quit his job and join Azov. And hopefully, you can make your own conclusions from there.
