I am sorry for your father's family, but, regarding heraldry as the sign of actual Naziism seems a bit simple-minded. Perhaps you should read some interviews with members of the Azov Brigade -- their political views range from libertarian to moderate left in Western terms, not a breath of race theory or nonsense about Ubermenschen, just perfectly respectable political views and Ukrainian nationalism. They like heraldry that offends the Russian invaders. Last I checked, actual Nazis would not take orders from a Jew, and President Zelenskyy being a Jew makes your accusations against living Ukrainians rather hollow.

You might also recall that what the Holocaust is to the Jews, the Holodomor is to Ukrainians, and with Putin rehabilitating Stalin, rather than repudiating him and his actions as those of a Georgian madman (as he could had he wanted to ), you might cut a little slack to those fighting the reimposition of rule from Moscow which had, shortly before you father's family were killed, starved many of their ancestors to death, if they adopt the symbols of the Bandarists, who fought against the Soviets with the Nazis until they found the latter were just as bad, after which they (alas in vain) fought against both Soviet and Nazi alike.
