I thought I would start a small collection of the myriad of current Ukrainian nationalist patches - these representing the "AZOV" Nationalist Battalion.

"a far-right Ukrainian militia" no kidding, a runic emblem in the middle of a Black Sun design, they're only missing a swastika!.... Very interesting patches though!....

Ultra-right nationalist groups such as "Azoz" (Батальйон «Азов») are pulling in "fighters" from other European countries who share similar ideological views.

Azov should have quite a few Swedish neo-nazis amongst them.

I always found Slavic support of Nazism to be a biggest oxymoron ever.

Apparently so, as well as Poles I have seen reported.

You would think so given the history of the Salvic people under the Nazi regime.

I am not collecting the propaganda politics of the conflict.

However I would be interested to see symbols and patches for the pro-Russian factions in my collection if you know sources?

I had a look at Ebay after I saw this thread last night. You`ll find flags stamps and badges if you search "novorossia" .

We had the same volunteer flow during the Balkan conflict. They had special patches too i read somewhere.

I haven't seen any of the Donetsk Republics symbols although I have come across flags. I'm not sure if they have patches or not.

I just brought up some of the politics/news article because this is in the discussion forum.
