The attempt to accuse an alleged Azov fighter, Natalia Shaban (née Vovk), of the assassination of Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian propagandist Aleksandr Dugin, is a botched fake.
This was the opinion given by Vladyslav Zhaivoronok, nom de guerre Wikipedia, an Azov regiment fighter released from captivity. He said that he didn’t know Shaban personally, and the documents published by the FSB show that she had never served in Azov.
"I’ve read this news. It seemed to me a bit hilarious. The FSB isn’t really worth its keep. The documents they have shown belong to a person who is not an Azov servicewoman. All our fighters are dressed in MultiCam camouflage in the photos on their documents, while the woman there wears a National Guard uniform," Zhaivoronok explains.
According to him, in the military unit No. 3057, which is indicated in the pictures of the documents made public, there are indeed Azov fighters, but Shaban is not one of them.
Moreover, the documents are old, and there’s a pencil inscription on the woman’s certificate saying that it was replaced due to her marriage, so the document most likely was found in the military unit archive in Mariupol.
In the same way, Vladyslav said, he saw a photo of his bank card on the Internet, which the invaders have found in the ruins of Azovstal and are now using as proof that he’s dead, albeit he’s still alive.
He underscored that the allegations of Azov being associated with the attempt on Dugin’s daughter are fake:
In addition, according to Zhaivoronok, there were no women with the rank of colonel in Azov, as well as there were no Azov servicewomen in Mariupol who were directly involved in combat, for example, as snipers. Most of them have administrative positions.
