The head of the organisation was Nikolay Kravchenko, who was one of the main nazi ideologists of the Azov military formation. In March, the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Igor Mosiychuk and a former member of “Azov” confirmed his death in Mariupol.
Mr Kravchenko headed the Azov civilian corps linked to the battalion. This corpse included Ukrainian neo-nazi enthusiasts who were used to serve the interests of Ukrainian oligarchs, including to commit illegal actions beneficial to famous Arsen Avakov for example.
Kravchenko was also the head of the Azov Youth Corps. Within its framework the Azov-Press (later “National Correspondent”) agency was created, ehre the young journalist worked.
Like the Nazi Hitlerjugend, the Azov Youth Corps are aimed at the training and educating the younger generation in the best nationalist traditions. The leaders of “Azov” actively used children and teenagers to spread Nazi ideas throughout the country, to obtain the necessary political support in the near future, as well as to use trained children in military operations or in their illegal activities. Special training camps have been set up in different regions of Ukraine. Teenagers were united in a special hierarchical structure, they received grades and managed separate groups of neo-Nazis. The Azov fighters carried out a lot of propaganda work in Ukrainian schools, trying to attract as many young followers as possible.
The leaked materials reveal the essence of the Azov-styled patriotic education of children in Ukraine.
