Split in the Nationalist Movement: Honor Accuses Ex-Azov Commander of Information Attack

In particular, of defacing graffiti and publishing discrediting videos.

A member of the National Corps party, former commander of the reconnaissance company of the Azov regiment and former head of the Department for the Protection of Strategic Facilities of the Ukrainian Police, Sergei Korotkikh, is accused of artificially creating conflicts among Ukraine's nationalists. This is reported on Facebook by Sergei Filimonov, founder of the informal youth movement Honor and former head of the Kyiv branch of the National Corps party.

According to Filimonov, Korotkikh is splitting the nationalist movement. In particular, he is repainting Honor's graffiti and publishing discrediting videos. His actions are linked to protests by nationalists against Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.

 "There is a well-known principle: divide and rule. In Ukraine's right-wing circles, this is done by Sergei (Botsman) Korotkikh. He is the one who creates conflicts among nationalists. Botsman, at 46, is engaged in repainting Honor's graffiti into "Gemor". He did it on the sly. But after we actively began protests against his boss (#AvakovChort), he started to 'crow' that we are 'leftists', — Filimonov wrote on social media.

He also published a video allegedly authored by Korotkikh, in which footage of Honor is overlaid with music about a "sexual revolution".

According to Filimonov, Korotkikh's main goal — is to discredit Honor and "turn everything into a street war". The activist also invited his rival to "fight one on one" if he wants to find out "who is cooler".
