MOSCOW, December 13. /TASS/. Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) apprehended 106 supporters of Ukraine’s MKU neo-Nazi group in 37 Russian regions, with two of them suspected of plotting attacks on educational institutions, the FSB press office told TASS on Monday.
"The Federal Security Service acting jointly with the Interior Ministry and the Investigative Committee of Russia has carried out detective and investigative measures with regard to 106 supporters of the Ukrainian MKU neo-Nazi youth gang uncovered in 37 Russian regions," the FSB press office said.
The gang was set up by Ukrainian national Yegor Krasnov born in 2000 who was put on an international wanted list and was acting under the cover of the Ukrainian special services, it said.

The FSB operatives seized smoothbore and rifled civilian hunting guns and ammunition, pneumatic pistols, inert handguns and assault rifles at the places of the suspects’ living
Interesting specific description of the arms seized.
Next thing you know they will be seizing crackers chewed into the shape of a handgun!(the kid who did that said he was trying to make a mountain out of the cracker, not a handgun)
Russian false flag? Who knows. I’m sure the FSB is at least as bad as the FIB in political hatchet jobs.
No doubt they have the ability, however, which way is their political bias in relation to the majority of the Russian People? Which Russian Elected Officials actually represent the majority of the Russian People, and what are their political biases?
I do know that the FSB, with Kremlin approval, warned the US State Department and the FBI about the Tarsenev Brothers more than a year before the Boston Marathon bombing.
Sounds like the FBI chasing evil conservatives 🤪
According to the Ukrainian counter-propaganda organization StopFake, the three suspects arrested in Voronezh in February had ties to a Russian nationalist organization known as the "Russian Corps." The group posted a statement on the Russian social media network VK acknowledging that the men had once been affiliated with its Voronezh chapter.
"The three did not have any sort of connection with pro-Ukrainian resources or organizations," the Russian Corps statement read. "For a short time they were members of the Voronezh cell of RK (Russian Corps)."
The StopFake disinfo watchdog also spoke to one of the Voronezh arrestees, Roman Grebenshchikov, who denied having any ties to Ukraine or Ukrainian nationalists, or any knowledge of MKU, the group authorities alleged he was connected to.
StopFake found photos from Grebenshchikov’s VK profile showing him present at Russian nationalist rallies and displaying symbols typically associated with Russian, not Ukrainian, nationalists. In a February 18 story on the arrest, a video showed various extremist materials allegedly found in the suspects’ possession. Those materials included Russian nationalist and German neo-Nazi symbols, but nothing bearing Ukrainian symbols of any kind.
The BBC Russian service also published a story on the arrests which included a photo of more extremist material allegedly found on the suspects arrested in Gelendzhik in March. Again, only general neo-Nazi or Russian nationalist items were on display.
Yegor Krasnov, a Ukrainian resident of Dnipro, the purported founder of the MKU. Krasnov, 20, was arrested by Ukrainian police in Dnipro for a series of violent attacks in Ukraine. He has been in detention since January 2020.

I could believe that there are Ukrainian nationalists, but neo-Nazis? Considering what the Germans did to Ukraine in WWII, doesn’t make sense. OTOH, if they were fiercely anti-Communist or anti-Russia, that would make a lot of sense: there are some serious axes to grind there.
You never heard of the Ukrainian Nazi SS units?
Yes, that’s true, but in almost every nation they invaded, they found some willing to fight with them. Ukrainians might fight with them because of two shared causes: 1. hatred of Russia; 2. hatred of Jews (not necessarily in that order). But overall, Ukraine received very similar treatment by the Germans that most of eastern Europe did, which is to say, the Nazi considered Slavic people slightly above Jews racially and treated them accordingly.
Look up Azov brigades or Brittany Stewart, US general in Ukraine. She is sporting a Nazi symbol on her US army uniform.
The MKU, which stands for Maniac, Killer Cult, IIRC, is not a new thing. It is a neo-nazi youth movement.
That's nonsense. Many country's military patches have skulls on them.

Thank you for the information.
John McCain Went To Ukraine And Stood On Stage With A Man Accused Of Being An Anti-Semitic Neo-Nazi

The organization was founded in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine by Yegor Krasnov. Their alleged goal was to “cleanse the genetic garbage” expressed in killing the homeless, addicts, and people of non-Slavic ethnicity.
Krasnov was arrested in 2019 by the Ukrainian SBU for assaults on Marshed al-Messalmeh and Igor X.
In custody, he somehow managed to organize online groups and employ hundreds of trolls agitating alike idiots in Russia, encouraging them to do bomb attacks and shootings at educational institutions.
There is an organized campaign by the Ukrainian intelligence right now to present MKU as a Russian domestic organization, the campaign coordinated with Facebook moderation.
To me, the Ukrainian connection and the complicity of the government are pretty obvious. It bears striking resemblance to the 2016 incident where the FSB busted a group of SBU officers infiltrating Crimea with a plan to bomb a shopping mall to present it as an act of “freedom fighters” from the Crimean Tatars revenging “Muslim persecution”.
The entire story was dug into by Facebook moderation as “fake news” and “Russian propaganda”, even Psaki denounced the FSB statement.
The problem was Derkach’s tape appeared a little bit later. On tape, Biden scolded the Ukrainian president Poroshenko for the operation, to which Poroshenko said it is not going to happen again, and blamed his military for it.
The terrorists were later exchanged for the Donbas rebels and honored by the Ukrainian military indeed.
The idiots are Russians indeed, but they were influenced and organized by the Ukrainian intelligence through social media.
You'll have to do better than StopFake.
The BBC Russian service...
You'll also have to do better than the BBC (MI6/Christopher Steele Propaganda Service) that lies to this day about Russia, Russia, Russia.
