"Traces of occultism and Satanism by the Ukrainian national battalions began to be found not only in 2022, but much earlier. And the main testimonies are opening now, in every liberated territory. Who were these inhuman people who terrified the population of Donbass? Why is their war literally diabolical? We talked to military correspondents and an expert."

Infernal finds
End of March - beginning of April 2022. This was already the third business trip to Donbass since the beginning of the NWO. The day before, a video appeared on the networks about the discovery of some occult and satanic attributes at the place where the Armed Forces of Ukraine previously stood. Of course, we were interested in amateur footage, but there were big doubts about their authenticity. What if this is staged, fake? Until the author of the video is found or supporting evidence appears, we decided not to talk about it in the programs.
A week later, on the evening of April 7, while driving around a number of DPR units along the line of contact, we met scouts on the Gorlovka-Yasinovataya highway. Speaking about the liberated village of Verkhnetoretsky, one of them mentioned some kind of "demonic" and "satanic" remnants left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Word for word, it turned out that our scouts discovered the very temple of the Satanists, and their commander filmed it on camera and posted it on the Internet.

"Yes, a rug with a goat's muzzle, candlesticks, some kind of devil's mask. This muck is probably still lying around." The scout promises to check if the infernal finds are in place. "It’s already dark now. It's dangerous, all the moreso if you shoot — there is a front line nearby, and you can’t turn on the lights. We will go there ourselves, we'll see. If no one has taken it, we'll call back — you'll come, we'll take you, only when it's brighter."

"Who's going to take it?" interrupts another. "Of our people, no one even touched this rubbish with their hands, it’s somehow unpleasant."
We are waiting for a call for several days, in those places with communication it is so tight, and if on the front line, then not at all. Finally, the long-awaited call: "Come today, we'll meet you there, on the track."
You won't see, you won't believe
April 12th. Turning off the road, following the escort car, we wind through the ruins left after the battles. Diligently avoiding craters and fallen poles, just not to pierce tires on splinters, which is a common thing in a war zone. In Verkhnetoretsky there is not a soul on the street and in the yards. A tail from a mine sticks out in the asphalt, it seems that they have arrived.

In order not to be spotted from drones, we drive the cars into the surviving garage. Further on foot, along the broken fences, past the pond. A DPR soldier leads us into another yard on a hillside. Under a canopy on a cluttered table are the same finds. A mask made of some kind of metal, depicting the devil.

"How long have you found this here?"
“About a week and a half ago, when they were kicked out of here,” the scout, having found a metal rod, squeamishly rakes the trash on the table, cautiously touching the mask and candlestick with the rod. “We ourselves don’t even touch this devilry, understand us correctly, not out of superstitious fear, of course, but somehow it’s rotten here."
“Who was here before?”
"Both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Right Sector.*" On the door, you see, scratched: "58 baht", 58th battalion. But when was it? According to the locals, the pravoseks were the last to stand here and the flag of the "Right Sector"* stuck out above the roof.
“Were you surprised when you discovered this?”
"Honestly? If someone had told me about this before, I would not have believed it, I thought that this only happens in horror films. And when I saw it..."
The commander of the scouts, who discovered the satanic temple, consults with us regarding what to do next with this, and asks:
"Can you burn it all? And then some other fool will be found, he will take it for himself. Yes, and my fighters are somehow not very aware of the fact that this devilry is nearby."
"Yes, it's better to burn it. There are boards, you need to make a fire."
For land or faith?
Half an hour later, satanic attributes - and a rug with a goat's face, and candlesticks - were safely burned in the fire. Only the "devil" metal mask still did not want to burn and melt, it only exuded a caustic blue flame. Having destroyed the satanic temple, the scouts seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They are back to the front line, we are back to Donetsk.
One of the scouts rips off a chevron from his shoulder, as a keepsake. On the chevron with the name of the unit, there are two inscriptions in a circle: "God have mercy", and below, "A soldier is not a thief." Seeing us off, the commander adds:
“Now do you understand what this war is for? For land, for resources, or for faith?"
But the story with satanic tricks does not end there. Soon there will be reports of new similar finds, already in other places. One of the satanic temples will be found near Mariupol, another a hundred kilometers away, somewhere in the Luhansk direction. But the most interesting discoveries will be presented by Azovstal when the remaining Azov militants begin to surrender. Photo and video filming will fix very curious tattoos on their strong and obviously not starved bodies. In addition to frankly fascist symbols, some Ukrainian soldiers will have tattoos with huge goat muzzles on their backs, just like the ones we found on the rug in Verkhnetoretsky.

Madness as it is
Well, that might explain a lot. Perhaps it was the feeding of Satanism that helped the Azov fighters suppress human emotions in themselves - pity, compassion, not to mention the pangs of conscience. When they hid in Mariupol behind the backs of children, when they shot civilians in the back who were trying to leave the city along the green corridor. And let them just try to object to me, they say, there was no such thing, they say, this is all Russian propaganda. I myself spoke with the residents of Mariupol, visited the wounded children and their parents at the Republican Trauma Center, who were rescued by the DPR servicemen, and then nursed by Donetsk surgeons. These children and parents told us in detail how they tried to escape from Mariupol hell, who shot them in the back, and from which direction.
When Mariupol was completely liberated and the last of the militants surrendered, we asked Alexander Sergeevich Khodakovsky, the commander of the Vostok battalion, if he had seen the same tattoos with satanic symbols and a goat's face on Ukrainian prisoners of war.

"Yes, we saw, and the cameras focused on these tattoos. It's not just that Hitler was involved in eugenics — occultism was also very strongly developed in Nazi Germany. And here we see their worthy heirs. What they are doing is not compatible with the Christian faith and Orthodoxy. This is savagery. It is necessary to renounce Christianity, from everything that their parents carried in themselves, to betray it — and all the puzzles will form into a picture. Of course, this is blatant nonsense. But, to be honest, I didn’t look at them much, I had another task - to have more holes in these tattoos, God forgive me."

Satanic Universe
Who are we dealing with here and now - in Little Russia and New Russia? They say with nationalists, ukrofascists, Bandera, and other "Azovites" and "Aidarites". Let us suppose. But these are all just terms and labels. What is behind them? What are they? Who are these people hiding behind civilians? Who held Mariupol residents hostage at Azovstal? Who equips positions in the apartments of civilians? Who gets such tattoos on themselves, that the imagination of Marvel universe writers is not sufficient to guess how this will end?
For three months in Donbass, you can see enough of everything. And the devil, as you know, is in the details. And in the little things.
In March, they walked along Volnovakha, which was then freshly liberated. The picture was terrible. But this horror had its own logic and clarity. That is, everything around fit into a terrible military reality: burned equipment, a torn off arm from a torn off tank turret, green containers with the inscription NLAW that littered all local yards, sandbags in the windows, and traces of bullets and shrapnel on houses.

There are also the residential premises where they equipped themselves. A table, a sofa, an overturned closet, children's things, torn wallpaper… It was as if someone had a very violent birthday party while their parents were at the dacha… Stop. A pentagram spray-painted on the living room wall? Do these people have occult symbols? And in a combat position? So those who equipped them took the time to inscribe a satanic symbol on the wall?

On April 25 we go to the base of the national battalion "Azov" in Mariupol, which is near city school № 61. From here, it's a stone's throw to Azovstal. There was still a lot of noise there. And in the barracks, where, according to the charter, there can be nothing superfluous at all, something terrible appears on the wall in front of us - a whole satanic altar.

And the officers allowed it? Inverted pentagrams, Beelzebub, Baphomet, and Lucifer . . . And this is a school where children learn. Well, as children, recruit number 97, the full name is indicated in brackets. Quite a child. Although he is also an "excellent student in combat and political training" in today's Ukraine.

In the personal file, lying right there, is his file. In the photo, he is calm and clean-shaven. Stripped to the waist. And instead of the name, and he bashfully removed it in brackets - the personal number "97". And he holds a sign with him proudly in front of him.
Rituals according to the charter
At the Azov base, we also took other literature. The book "Philosophy of Force" with the coat of arms, grenade launcher, machine gun, and an Aryan eagle with a Ukrainian logo on the cover. Author Roman Koval. Nazi writer and holder of the Order of Solidarity from the Right Sector*. The book was published in 2016 and is recommended for study in secondary and higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense, the Interior of the National Guard and the Police.

Everyone chose a deity to worship and served him - nurturing in himself a certain set of qualities and setting for himself certain limits of what is permissible and what is unacceptable. Exactly as the Azovian decides it now - within the framework of his calendar, his pagan temple, his heroes, his books, and his universe.

But teachers in high headquarters take everything very seriously. In the chapter "Field regulations" of the command officer's brief guide, there is a table marked "only for official use of the Azov OZSP." So, the field manual for "religious support" in this list is numbered FM 1-05.

Road to nowhere
It's the beginning of May. We are moving around the plant named after Ilyich. We go as carefully as possible. It has not yet been cleared - neither from mines, nor from Azov. Behind the scorched, still-smoking, Ukrainian self-propelled guns, we see the position. We look carefully. A book is lying between the BC and the eaten dry rations. Author Evstakhiy Zanachevsky. It's called Lovers of Life, Married to Death. On the cover of the SS. Dedicated to the glorious battle path of the SS division "Galicia". This is "recruits No. 97" read in positions during rest.

The SS and the Hitlerite Reich in general also were involved in the occult and paganism. The Fuhrer loved being compared to Siegfried. The Song of the Nibelungs, like the entire ancient Germanic and Scandinavian epic, is a direct analogue of the pagan ancient Slavic romance, as Ukrainians from Azov perceive it. You don't have to think. With us is the one who decides everything for us. Who is it? Yarilo? Loki? Fenrir? Perun? Lucifer? Fuhrer? By the way, his "Mein Kampf" was also at the Azov temple in Mariupol.

Flirting with a pentagram, you need to understand who is flirting with whom — you are flirting with it, or it is flirting with you. The result is always the same, and it is sad.
Base, ideological and legislative
The fact that Satanic rituals and beliefs have become the ideological basis for many national battalions has been talked about for a long time, but there is a feeling that they underestimate the influence of these "fairy tales" on the actions, methods of warfare, and the mental state of young Ukrainians.
In May 2017, Verkhovna Rada deputy Andriy Biletsky demanded that the Ukrainian authorities register a community of pagans in Kyiv, worshiping the gods Svarog, Perun, and Veles. At that time, Biletsky had just left the post of commander of the Azov regiment for the sake of lawmaking. Even then it was no secret that the ranks of Azov were full of pagans.
The head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, reported about the dominance of Satanism in the national battalions.
"We understand that in the face of this regime we are dealing not only with anti-Russian, but also with anti-Christian forces. Simply put, with Satanists. Nazism, paganism, occultism and Satanism have always gone hand in hand - this was the case in the Third Reich, and this is happening today in Ukraine," Aksyonov wrote on his Telegram channel.
This could be chalked up to “pro-Kremlin propaganda,” but here’s what the Financial Times tells us:
"According to Alex Kovzhun, a Kiev-based consultant who helped develop the political agenda of the National Corps (a far-right political party in Ukraine founded in 2016 by Andriy Biletsky - ed. note ), Azov was made up of football hooligans and people with military experience. Some had 'dubious tattoos' such as the black sun and wolfsangel, which were used by the Nazis and are now considered by some members of the battalion to be pagan symbols."
About the occult in press release language
In the summer of 2017, Azov fighters built a sanctuary for Perun near Donetsk. So to speak, to maintain morale. "After the solemn assembly at the Urzuf base, the ceremony of creating the sanctuary of Perun took place. Each unit provided daggers for the ceremony, set in a circle near Perun. This sacred place will be the consecration of weapons before combat missions," this is from the official press release of Azov. The creation and arrangement of temples was a common practice of the ideologues of the national battalions. Sometimes they also performed a ritual rite of bloodletting, as can be seen in the following video:

What does flirting with the devil lead to
The well-known sectologist and destructologist, Archpriest Alexander Novopashin, has been studying the relationship between Nazi movements, occultism and Satanism for several years, including in the Ukrainian national battalions.
“The Nazis who consider themselves Satanists differ little from adherents of the occult or neo-paganism. People in these communities easily flow from one to another,” this is how he explained to RIA Novosti the identity of these currents.
“The essence of turning to Satanism is a rejection of Christianity and an attempt to resort to the help of supernatural forces to solve their problems - natural deities, energies or entities that allegedly help to gain power. Someone calls these dark forces Satan or the devil, someone talks about Slavic gods, for example, Perun, Wotan, Odin, etc. Now there is little doubt who exported, fed and encouraged Nazism in the modern history of Ukraine,” notes Archpriest Alexander Novopashin.
According to him, the neo-Nazi-Satanist movements are not an invention of the 21st century.
The English scholar of religion, researcher of esotericism, occultism, and their connection with Nazism — Nicholas Goodrick-Clark — wrote the book Black Sun in 2002. It discusses Aryan cults, esoteric Nazism, and identity politics about the post-war and current state of neo-pagan cults and the revival of Nazism. In his work, he writes: "Already in the early 1970s, Satanist groups in the United States were flirting with Nazi themes as a symbol of the forbidden, dark side of life. These experiments, intended to shock the public with the 'value of Nazism,' were replaced in the 1990s by Nazi satanic cults linking anti-Christian paganism with transgressive glorification of Hitler and the Third Reich,” Novopashin said.
According to the expert, adherence to this cult directly affects the methods of warfare:
“There are no restrictions for a Satanist. Neither in relation to the prisoners, nor in relation to the civilian population, or even in relation to the so-called sworn brothers. It is based on serving evil and shedding human sacrificial blood. No moral restrictions, no moral brakes. Everything is possible, because the only thing that is of value is the will of the doer. Other people's lives, in comparison with this, are of no value at all. At the peak, even their own lives are considered to be without value, like the 'Columbiners' (Terrorist organization banned in Russia). But there are few of them. For the most part, they value their skin.”
Because a huge number of those fighting on the side of Kiev are involved in the occult and Satanism, Archpriest Alexander Novopashin believes that certain predictions can be made about the outcome of today's crisis:
"Satanists have a desire to rule over others. Their goal is to bind everyone with a common crime and common blood. Moreover, everything is arranged in such a way that yesterday's killers themselves then become victims. They destroy each other, this is inevitable. As the ancients said, malum se ipsum devorat - 'Evil devours itself'. And the long-term existence of such an army (and such a state) is impossible, since sooner or later a bunch of egoists will be overwhelmed by conflicts, and they themselves will begin to devour themselves from the inside. Actually, this is what we are seeing now."
