An Azov fighter has been spotted among the participants at the Connecticut-based university<\/p>\n
An open neo-Nazi associated with the notorious Azov regiment, Yan \u2018MacGregor\u2019 Klishayev, has been spotted among a group of 15 Ukrainian veterans enrolled in a new leadership program at Yale University.
\nThe meet-and-greet photo surfaced online on Thursday, showing Klishayev among the veterans posing alongside Timothy Snyder, Professor of History and Global Affairs. The militant has been long associated with the notorious neo-Nazi Azov regiment, which has been rebranded as the 3rd Assault Brigade after suffering a crushing defeat from the Russian military during the battle of Mariupol early in the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n
Today Prof. Timothy Snyder welcomed a group of \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6veterans to Yale University. Among them was neo-Nazi Yan “Macgregor” Klishaiev from the Third Assault Brigade (rooted in the Azov movement).I have some questions: \ud83d\udfe5Why didn\u2019t Yan wear his favorite Wolfsangel T-shirt \u2014 that\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/mBXSxMOGo1\u2014 Marta Havryshko (@HavryshkoMarta) April 29, 2026 <\/p>\n
The leadership program for Ukrainian veterans at Yale was announced last week by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, a charity set up by one of the wealthiest Ukrainian oligarchs. Pinchuk is known for actively supporting Kiev\u2019s war effort, having supplied the country\u2019s military with drones and other equipment.
\nThe Pinchuk Foundation said the program was \u201caimed at developing leadership potential through access to world-class educational practices,\u201d and the first group of 15 veterans is set to participate in the \u201cpilot phase\u201d of the project and receive \u201cintensive training\u201d in the US.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants have repeatedly surfaced at assorted public events and programs hosted by Western institutions. Late last year, for instance, London-based think tank Chatham House hosted Yevhen Karas as a speaker, presenting him as a drone battalion commander while failing to mention he was actually the founder of the notorious S14 far-right paramilitary group. The organization has been long cozying up to the post-Maidan Ukrainian authorities and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), which have used it as a neo-Nazi mob to intimidate and silence dissenters.\u00a0
\nKiev has long been in denial that it has any issues with the rise of neo-Nazi groups in the country, dismissing such assertions as \u201cRussian propaganda.\u201d Mounting evidence, however, shows otherwise, with individuals displaying neo-Nazi symbols and tattoos repeatedly making it into official propaganda materials featuring Ukraine\u2019s leader, Vladimir Zelensky. The need to \u201cdenazify\u201d Ukraine has been named by Moscow as one of its goals in the military operation against the country, and it has repeatedly reiterated its commitment to that objective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
