Tradition and Order (Традиція і порядок - ТіП or “TIP” for short) was a far-right political group led by Bohdan Khodakovskyi. The group promoted an Anti-LGBT and Anti-Feminist agenda, frequently disrupting opposing demonstrations. The group later disbanded, with some of its members later formed the Revanche Battalion:
The Revanche (reconnaissance) Battalion, commanded by Serhiy Brigadir, was formed at the beginning of the Russian invasion, made up of Ukrainian nationalist volunteers from Kyiv and Kharkiv, many of whom, including the commander, are members of the Conservative Party of Ukraine. This is actually a faction of the former far-right organization Tradition and Order, which was formed by followers of Italian fascism from the Revanche group.
One defining trait of the group’s ideology is that they collaborate with any other right leaning group indiscriminately. They previously collaborated with Brotherhood, C14, National Corps, National Resistance, Right Sector, Freikorps Military-Patriotic Organisation, and another group named Katekhon. (not to be confused with the Russian think-tank “Katehon”):
On May 17 activists of Ukrainian right-wing radical groups, such as “C14”, “Tradition and Order”, “Right Sector”, “Monolit”, and “Katekhon”, held the action “Nationalists against the leftists from Amnesty”.
In June 2019, representatives of the organization together with the members of the associations “Tradition and order”, “Right sector”, “Nazkorpus” during the congress of the party “Trust in Affairs” arranged a demonstration, after which they went to the bust Marshal Zhukov, dropped it from the pedestal and hung it flag of Ukraine.
Some Belarussian members later reportedly joined the Belarusian Volunteer Corps:
On December 25, 2022, Belarusian volunteers Ihor “Yanki” Yankov, Andriy “Bezsmertnyi” Trotsevsky and Rodion “Gena” Batulin announced the creation of the Belarusian Volunteer Corps, made up of several different Belarusian units that have been fighting the Russian Army in Ukraine.23
Previously, the leaders of the new formation were members of various volunteer units. Thus, “Yanki” gathered the commander of the Belarusian unit in the Ukrainian volunteer battalion “Brotherhood”, the machine gunner of the Ukrainian group “Tradition and Order”, the commander of the international battalion “Titan”. Before the start of the full-scale war, Rodion Batulin was known as one of the closest associates of Serhii “Botsman” Korotkyh, later he became a representative of the “Terror” battalion. This formation split from the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment in the summer of 2022 and operated as an independent unit before joining the Belarusian Volunteer Corps. 45
