"We need to break into elementary school classrooms. Our heroic veterans must become role models for young Ukrainians!"

declares "Nachtigall"—Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn, an officer in the Azov-rooted Third Assault Brigade.

So, the Azov movement wants to turn Ukraine's public schools into factories of nationalist indoctrination and militarized identity, raising children on the myths and ideology of the OUN and UPA—movements implicated by historians in the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing of Poles, and terror against "bad" Ukrainians.

Mykhalchyshyn's nom de guerre, "Nachtigall," is borrowed from the Nazi collaborationist battalion formed by OUN members in 1941 under Roman Shukhevych, a unit linked to anti-Jewish violence.

His résumé speaks for itself. He edited Vatra, a magazine that republished the Nazi Party program, Alfred Rosenberg, and Ukrainian racial-nationalist and antisemitic ideologues. He has openly championed "social nationalism."

These are the people now grooming Ukraine's children.

And the West keeps writing the checks—branding the whole exercise as "freedom," "democracy," and "decolonization." Orwell would have called it propaganda.
