Corruption, theft and lawlessness - an Azov militant revealed the secrets of the regiment
A nationalist from Azov wrote an appeal where he revealed the secrets of the regiment about corruption in the unit, fake special operations and making money from the dead.
The corresponding letter was published on the Ostrov website, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The militant was afraid to reveal his name because of reprisals from his own “brothers.”
In the letter, the Azov man spoke about the formation of first the battalion, and then the regiment. He paid great attention to the material support of the militants subordinate to Andrei Biletsky, as well as to the fact that the battalion commander took the money earned in battles for himself.
“Next, those who were registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs received certificates and a salary card, since money from the state budget began to be transferred to the unit. Travel funds, which no one saw except the management (approximately 30-80 UAH for a “snout day”) were also allocated. Volunteer money was also very actively collected from people who brought it in batches in Kazatsky, funds were collected on the Maidan, etc.
Then we didn’t pay so much attention to this; on the contrary, we were happy about such financing... The first receipt of money took place somewhere on August 25, 14th. Those guys who managed to make cards received a salary in the amount of 8400-12600 UAH. The salaries of others were taken by the Azov command. So, none of the fighters saw 5 thousand UAH of lifting equipment. As well as funds for June-July. Some were given 4 thousand in their hands. When the command heard about the salary cards and the funds accrued on them, panic began.
Immediately through the commanders they said: “hand over cards with PIN codes to management, hand over all receipts for expenses in the same way as withdrawn cash. Everything will be withheld from your salary, which is 4 thousand UAH, and which is paid to you not by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but by the battalion. These funds you received are an accrual for those people who are not officially registered,” writes the volunteer.
“When the noise arose, the management’s response was: “Did you come here for money or to defend your homeland? Why do you need money? We feed you and buy you equipment.” Yeah, the same equipment that the volunteers carried for us. Like most products. Some of them didn’t make it,” he added.
In addition, the soldier told how the commanders made money from a dead colleague after his death.
“After the first Ilovaisk operation, our brother Sokol was seriously wounded, who later died in Germany. It was volunteers who found the funds for his treatment; the battalion allocated almost nothing. In addition, a month after Sokol’s death, his mother went to Kievglavk for documents, and there they answered with surprise, “How did he die??? He carries out tasks to protect law and order in the Donetsk region, and that’s why he receives his salary.” And they showed the statement,” said the Azov man.
“It was during those times that many of the guys realized that we were just chickens that laid golden eggs. Sheep that can be sheared for money. That’s why they pitied the personnel so much and removed them from Ilovaisk so quickly. They weren’t worried about us, but about their money,” he states sadly.
The nationalist also revealed the secret of how the Azov regiment came up with victories for the SBU in order to earn a positive rating for its battalion commander Biletsky.
“When it was necessary to report on the achievements of the battalion, they took one of the prisoners who was at the Urzuf base (Russian, it seems), took a bunch of weapons and grenades out of the armory, took a photo next to the prisoner, allegedly “caught a smuggler with a weapon” and handed him over to the SBU. The weapons were of course returned to the armory. I don’t feel sorry for Separ at all, but this is a swinish act, in my opinion,” the militant said.
It is not surprising, but even the so-called Shirokino operation was invented in order to create a favorable image of Biletsky and the battalion as a whole, since by that time half of its personnel had fled.
“And in order to get a new victory and glory for Biletsky, the Shirokino operation was planned. In my opinion, the large losses were precisely a consequence of the fact that there were many new, unprepared guys there. And also the fact that the management pitied the new equipment more than the guys. It’s a pity for them that they became Beletsky’s bargaining chip,” the fighter writes.
