Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Russia justified its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 by “denazification” of Ukraine. However, this chapter shows that the Russian government misrepresented and inflated the role of the neo-Nazis in Ukraine in order to justify the Russian invasion. Contrary to the Russian government and media claims, the Ukrainian state and the military are not Nazi or neo-Nazi. The evidence shows that the power of the far right, in particular, neo-Nazi Azov movement, significantly increased in Ukraine during the Russia-Ukraine war. They significantly expanded the number, size, and influence of armed formations under their de facto control. Contrary to the narratives propagated by the Western and Ukrainian governments and the media, the far-right armed formations did not deradicalize and depoliticize and were not marginal.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
