That's cool. That is really fun. It's good to have community outlet like that. I love when they light the Roman candles and flares! They look really badass in the pictures.

And, yeah, I had a friend from Ukraine a long time ago that said this was basically the same there too. Just fight clubs basically. That's shit I would do in like elementary and middle school. Have your crew regularly fight the other crew, who you allegedly don't get along with, but it's all really a game. Grew out of it but I guess I see the appeal.

Here's a not so fun fact: Azov grew out of Metalist Kharkiv football ultras.

Yeah, and everyone can see this coming but, it's possible he was even in it. He admitted to me later that when he was younger he started off with some fascist ultras because they were his friends but then he left it for some reason and eventually befriended some anarchists and joined their ultra crew. He said he allegedly never really cared about the politics, it was just whichever group his friends were in.

Sounds like a cop out, but meeting him much later in life I can kinda believe it. Kinda how he was. I haven't talked to him in like 10 years.

Yeah the candles are a lot of fun! Super hot though.

I can relate. Added a story in an edit.
