Am i remembering correctly that the Wagner group are overtly fascist?
most articles from before their mutiny refered to them as a neo-nazi or white supremacist mercenary group.
I also distinctive remember pictures of them posing with lots of ww2 era Nazi equipment going arround in the News.
Isnt that Azov?
You have remembered correctly.
Which is extremely weird that so many people celebrating this like it can be a good thing.
It's good for Ukraine in the context of the war. You don't have to approve of the group itself. Also, who cares if they're fascist? They're already bad enough just from their actions as a PMC group.
I can just see it now: world war 2 electric buggalo but this time the nazis have nukes.
