Does anyone have books/long length documentaries on the fascist groups currently active in Ukraine? With the recent surge in nazi apologia, I feel it would be best to educate myself more on their history in Ukraine.
I have a feeling this one has already been recommended to you - “Ukraine on Fire”. It’s OK for getting a grasp on the broad strokes.
There’s also “Agent Zelensky” - a Scott Ritter documentary, a bit too bombastic and b-roll filled, but it’s newer and covers more of the latest stuff. A word of caution - I haven’t completed the research on this one and I couldn’t dig up any info on some of the things he said in that documentary. Most of it seems to be well researched, though.
Other than that - bits and pieces from different sources, including pre-2022 Western capitalist propaganda outlets that unwillingly admitted some things. Also - declassified CIA documents that go as far back as the 1950s, funnily enough.
Edit: Added the “see eye ay” bit

The more official western news from before the SMO are most useful because the libs’ first instinct is to attack the source when sweatily trying to engage in Nazi apologism.

Are there Nazis and fascist groups in Ukraine? Probably. Are they in every other country as well? Again, probably.
the presence of fascists isn’t important, the fact that they’re in charge of the state and military is
