Episode Details

Who funds a neo-Nazi militia? Apparently, Jewish oligarchs do. Ghost breaks down one of modern history's most paradoxical military units: the Azov Battalion. From its roots in Ukrainian soccer hooliganism to becoming a formalized regiment in Ukraine's National Guard, Ghost traces how a far-right militia bankrolled by billionaire Igor Kolomoisky became central to the 2014 Donbas conflict and beyond. He unpacks Kolomoisky's tri-citizenship, his Privat Bank money laundering network, and the strange web connecting Ukrainian oligarchs, Israeli weapons manufacturers, and the CIA's fingerprints on the Maidan coup. If you ever wanted a deep, uncomfortable look at who is really pulling the strings in Eastern Europe, this is your episode.
