From the Fires of War: Ukraine's Azov Movement and the Global Far Right by Michael Colborne

 From the Fires of War:


Ukraine's Azov Movement and the Global Far Right by Michael Colborne,is a new book released  by Ibidem. An illuminating book this one by Colborne who followed pretty closely these past years Azov: the final analysis, this journalist is specialized on the far right in Eastern Europe is that there is not another movement strong and well connected in the national territory as the Azoz one. In general these movements of extreme right are whispers, and there is not a lot of publicity around them: Azov does the opposite. The movement possesses also publishing houses and it is supported by influential Ukrainians. Books released by their publishing houses are the ones of people of radical right, italians, Germans, it's not important where they are from: it's important the message that they want to communicate. They have published books on Unabomber, for example. 

 

The book opens with some lines of The March of Ukrainian Nationalists written in 1929 and adopted in 1932. 



There is an accurate historical reconstruction of the birth of Ukraine, and its destiny during the centuries. Ukrainians are still looking at the golden period of Cossacks because of that bravery, patriotism. 


The book is divided in six chapters. 


Largely treated the conflict started in 2014,and the role played by the Azov.


I suggest to everyone this reading because it can be understood much better the Ukrainian way of thinking in relationship with other States as well.
