The Azov military claims to debunk Kremlin 'myths,' but in doing so, it reaffirms its Nazi legacy and highlights the contradiction between this tradition and German narratives of normalization. The Azov military is gradually being integrated into the Western European security architecture. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion and escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the German media establishment has been presenting “emotionally touching” frontline reports of the individual fates of members of the “elite unit,” portraying them as “the nice guys next door.” Springer's Welt TV has now even served its viewers the first home story of a volunteer from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and his proud father, a former “Cheetah” tank driver in the German Armed Forces. The integration of the “Azov” units into the Ukrainian armed forces and their rearmament, primarily with German weapons, requires narratives that portray their warriors as sincere patriots and loyal allies of “defensive democracy.”
