North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO)
North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO)
The North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO; a play on NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is an Internet meme and social media movement dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In addition to posting irreverent commentary about the war and memes promoting Ukraine or mocking the Russian war effort and strategy ("shitposting"), the group also raises funds for the Ukrainian military and other pro-Ukrainian causes. The representation of a NAFO "Fella" is a Shiba Inu dog, often used as an avatar and sometimes described as a "cartoon dog" or a "group of Shiba Inu soldiers." [1]
NAFO operates primarily on Twitter, with the official communication channel @Official_NAFO.
How to Get a Fella
A "fella" is a custom designed avatar created by a group of volunteer "forgers" in return for a donation to a few designated Ukrainian charities. Fellas are typically Shiba Inu dogs, but can be cats, raccoons, etc.
To get a fella, a Twitter user donates at least $10 to one of the organizations involved with NAFO. Users post a Tweet showing a picture of their donation (with your personal information removed), a description of what your fella should look like (preferably with reference pictures), and tag @fellarequests to get into the queue.

Georgian Legion
The Georgian National Legion is a military volunteer formation that arose at the beginning of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. The main purpose of its existence is to help the fraternal Ukrainian people in the defense of territorial integrity and independence during the Russian aggression in Ukraine.[2]
NAFO was founded as part of an effort to organize fundraising efforts to help feed the wolves. Donations can be done directly through bank transfers or through Pay Pal. Instructions can be found on the Legion's website here: https://georgianlegion.com.ua/#donate
Legion of Fellas
Legion of Fellas is the store associated with fundraising efforts for the Georgian Legion. Our purpose is to support the mission of the Wolves of the Georgian National Legion in Ukraine. Net profits from the store's sales will be donated directly to the Georgian National Legion in Ukraine. First the Morale Patch, and now every other product you see here, was designed by a fella, for the fellas, as a physical representation of appreciation for doing it right, always keeping it funny, and most importantly, having the Legion's back, every single day.[3]
