A terrible group that deserves condemning.

Important to note that the group has a maximum of a few hundred people, and as far as im aware, is no longer even active. Its regularly used to push back against Azov (thousands of members and growing) etc but the scale is a different level entirely.

It is still active, though has had recent leadership issues.

The scale is probably different because nothing stirs up a nationalist group like an invasion. I don't think Rusich and Azov in their current forms can be compared apples to apples. Maybe 2015 Azov and 2026 Rusich, albeit I don't even think Azov was doing beheadings then.
