you seriously overestimate azov, its not hezbollah, i.e. a pseudo nation in of itself, but a sorta military brigade that had very murky origins as a volunteer militia that had its origins in a football fan club, its really weird but i digress, what autonomy they had in tumultuous years of early donbass war, it was largely neutered and hasn't really done much when it died down to maybe a few potshots here and there, most civilian deaths after 2016 was from unexploded ordinance really   do you not have to know slovakian to have slovakian citizenship? bit weird as for the grey passports, it was supposed to be a temporary measure for russians that came with ussr who 1.didn't want russian citizenship and 2.didn't know latvian, with hopes that they would learn latvian and get regular one, as such it had most of all perks of regular citizenship, except for voting rights and holding government positions many wanted to keep them, in fact, many had their kids to have them too, due to the non-citizens being allowed to have visa-free travel to and from russia, which is handy if you got relatives there we stopped giving new ones in 2022 i think, and now all their kids will be getting regular passports, so its a dying breed
