Because they wanted to appease russia, which proven to be futile.
- kragen 4y agoNo, Facebook banned them because they were literally Nazis. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment#Neo-Nazism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Regiment#Neo-Nazism: > The Azov Battalion has been described as a far-right militia,[60][16] with connections to neo-Nazism[214] and members wearing neo-Nazi and SS symbols and regalia, and expressing neo-Nazi views.[58][215] > The group's insignia features the Wolfsangel (or a mirrored variation of it),[216][217][218][219] a German heraldic charge inspired by historic wolf traps adopted by the Nazi Party and by WW2 German military units. Its insignia also used to feature the Black Sun,[220][221][222][211][209] both of which remain two popular neo-Nazi symbols.[210][194][220][215] Azov soldiers have worn fascist or Nazi-associated symbols on their uniforms,[223] including swastikas and SS symbols.[23] In 2014, the German ZDF television network showed images of Azov fighters wearing helmets with swastika symbols and "the SS runes of Hitler's infamous black-uniformed elite corps".[224] In 2015, Marcin Ogdowski, a Polish war correspondent, gained access to one of Azov's bases located in the former holiday resort Majak; Azov fighters showed him Nazi tattoos as well as Nazi emblems on their uniforms.[225][16]
