In Azov, the change of the commander took place at the solemn construction of the Azov Mound of 3 swords. Each commander had a personal edged weapon, for example, Andreiy Biletsky had a saber in 2014.
In 2017, on the eve of the solemn transfer of command over the Azov from the "Mose" to the "Redis", an axe was specially made as a traditional symbol of military power. Archaeologists have found many axes on the territory of Ukraine, which served as an attribute of military power among the Scythians - they called them sagaris. The Scythians believed that the axe, as the first weapon, was sent to them by the heavenly ancestor Papai. The axe was an armed incarnation of the God of war and power in Rus' - Perun. Small axes of Perun(analog to Mjölnir) were worn by Rusian vigilantes around their necks.
This tradition of the Azov Guards special forces passed into the National squads. The commanders of the Southern and Eastern National squads solemnly received forged axes on the model of the Scythian sagaris in Kyiv.

Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. "Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. Markets continued to grapple with the economic and corporate earnings implications relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “We have a ton of uncertainty right now,” said Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors. “We’re dealing with a war, we’re dealing with inflation. We don’t know what it means to earnings.”
