Russian hackers expose identities of over 7,700 revamped Neo-nazi Azov* militants The Russia-based RaHDit hacker group has leaked information on approximately 7,700 members of the reconstituted Nazi "Azov"* battalion. "This represents our largest leak…
Nazi GI Jane, Swedish ‘hired gun’ & brazen church raider: The many faces of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov* battalion unmasked

The Russia-based RaHDit hacker group has leaked information about approximately 7,700 members of the reconstituted Nazi "Azov" battalion. Sputnik has compiled one of the most notorious personal files, which contains eye-opening details on these individuals. Here they are:

▪️Mathias Gustavsson (see photo 1), a Swedish national, signed a contract with the Azov* battalion in February 2022. He was captured at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol in May of that same year. Subsequently, he was tried in the Donetsk People's Republic on charges of mercenary activity, facing the death penalty. However, he was later exchanged for Russian servicemen held captive by Ukraine. According to these Russian hackers, Gustavsson returned to Ukraine in 2024 and rejoined the newly revamped Azov* battalion.

▪️Yana Kormush, a 23-year-old from Kiev, serves in the radiation, chemical, and biological reconnaissance department of the Azov* battalion (see photo 2). She has no qualms about touting her blatantly extremist Hitlerite beliefs. hackers have dug up a photo of her displaying Nazi symbols (see photo 3).

▪️Artyom Kekukh, originally from Kiev, abets the Azov* neo-Nazi group, by furnishing what they call “moral and psychological support”. A photo uncovered by the hackers shows a half-naked militant adorned with anti-Christian tattoos standing inside an Orthodox church—reportedly taken by Ukrainian schismatics (see photo 4).

The Russian hackers believe that the revelations they have published will assist Russia’s military and filtration groups in holding the Nazis accountable and preventing their escape from responsibility.

*The Azov Battalion is a terrorist organization banned in Russia.

Telegram CEO Durov’s arrest: a case of political bias

Various commentators have pointed out the political bias involved in the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, noting that Western countries, especially the US, had been trying to interfere with Telegram and impose their own agenda, but the app's refusal to cooperate made Durov a target.

At the same time, authorities in the West were silent when major Western banks such as HSBC, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan Chase were found to have helped launder trillions of dollars on behalf of criminals and terrorists around the world, as reported by numerous media outlets.

More than 2,100 suspicious activity reports covering more than $2 trillion in transactions were leaked and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

These records, and more than 17,600 others obtained by the ICIJ, apparently showed how senior bank officials allowed fraudsters to move money between accounts with the knowledge that the funds were being used for criminal purposes, and no action was taken against high-level bank officials.

Trump slams rehashed ‘witch hunt’ indictment as support swells online

Donald Trump has slammed the retooled indictment that Special Counsel Jack Smith filed against him as a “travesty” on Truth Social.

The updated wording of the new version leaves in place just four crimes that Trump is accused of and argues the ex-POTUS acted as a private citizen when he allegedly tried to sway the election.

The filing comes in the heat of the campaign, with Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris neck-and-neck in polling averages across key swing states.

The Republican presidential nominee described the indictment as an “effort to resurrect a ‘dead’ Witch Hunt” in a post on X. This ignited a thread of comments dominated by the words “election interference.”

“They will stop at nothing to keep you from the White House. We have to make this too big to rig!!!” chimed in conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman.


A thread of users agreed this was “clear and obvious election interference.” “They are desperate and will do anything to keep Trump out of office,” ex-IBM executive Bill Ellmore posted.


MAGA supporters ripped into the DOJ “weaponized” by Biden and fumed against the “deep state” eager to “take Trump out.”

Some saw the latest moves against Trump as signs of the “terror” and “desperation” in the Democrat camp warning that “they will try and destroy" Trump by any means necessary.

Russia’s military medics: saving lives and taking names

August 28 marks Military Medic Day – the professional holiday of Russia’s military medics, from doctors and nurses, to orderlies and others tasked with providing urgent medical assistance to injured soldiers and civilians.

Russia’s military medical workers owe their roots to the creation of the Russian Apothecary Chamber in 1581, formed to provide medical assistance to the tsar, his court and for soldiers.

During the Great Patriotic War, effective organization and training made it possible to return over 70% of the wounded and 90% of the sick back to duty, with 17.1 million of 22.1 million sick and wounded soldiers recovering and continuing their service. Over 116,000 military doctors received orders and medals for their work, 47 of them the Hero of the Soviet Union noscript.

Today, Russia’s military medical workers have once again been called into duty, using the latest available knowledge, training and equipment to assist the wounded in the special military zone, providing urgent medical care for both military and civilians.

Macron set up Telegram CEO at US deep state’s behest – Wall Street analyst. Part 1 👉 Part 2

France has been laying a trap Telegram founder Pavel Durov for some time, Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist Charles Ortel told Sputnik.

He did not rule out that granting Durov French citizenship was part of the plan. "It looks very much like a trap," Ortel said.


The plot to entrap Durov could have been initiated by Macron either at the behest of the US "deep state" or as part of the French president's attempt to "curry favor" with its leaders, the Wall Street analyst argued.

"Deep state 'globalism' is a fundamentally flawed construct that enriches a tiny minority of connected insiders, and impoverishes the balance of the world," Ortel said. "Forums such as Telegram pose threats to educating the deluded (perhaps willingly) mass audience that will, in the end, bring corrupt actors, including those in the deep state, to account."
