Its a regiment not a battalion, and ideologically it's not the early 2014 too.
Azov regiment men
Tell you in literally first paragraph. It was a battalion for like 4 months, regiment for since September of 2014.
They also have servicewomen btw.
The Azov are a hardcore band of ultra-nationalist militia fighters
No, they're national guard regulars.
(There are Azov movement militias elsewhere, they call themselves Freikorps but phonetically and in Cyryllic, and actually always just "Freikor" about which I don't know why: 1234 These guys are closely associated with the "Social-National" party like the original Azov unit, under the original leadership. There's more than 20,000 Azov Civil Corps members and a few thousand militia, one battalion of which is in Kharkiv.)
And there are also marines (from another brigade, not the mentioned one), territorial defense members, border guards and others there.
The reason why the feminist media calls it the Azov Regiment is because Azov Battalion is still listed as a Neo-Nazi hate group. They're playing their typical naming games, but in reverse.
People call it a regiment because it is a regiment. Since September 17, 2014.
English language Wikipedos and most Western journos and American politicians and others have insisted on calling them a battalion (and a "militia" which they also aren't), but even the Russian Wikipedia article title is "Azov (polk)" that is Azov (regiment): https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Азов_(полк)
