Russia's long history of neo-Nazis - March 23,2022
EXCERPTS:
The roots of neo-Nazism in Putin's Russia
[In the late] 1990s, when Russia was shaken by a wave of racist violence committed by neo-Nazi skinhead gangs: After Putin's accession to the presidency in 2000, his regime exploited this development in two ways.
First, it used the neo-Nazi threat to justify the adoption of anti-extremism legislation, a longstanding demand of some Russian liberals. Ultimately, this legislation would be used to prosecute Russian democrats.
Second, the Kremlin launched "managed nationalism", an attempt to co-opt and mobilise radical nationalist militants, including neo-Nazis, as a counterweight to an emerging anti-Putin coalition of democrats and leftist radicals.
Moving Together, a pro-Putin youth organisation notorious for its campaign against postmodernist literature, made the first move by reaching out to OB88, the most powerful skinhead gang in Russia.
In 2008-09, the Kremlin was threatened by Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny's efforts to build an anti-Putin coalition of democrats and radical nationalists in Russia.
In response, the Kremlin began to work with Russkii Obraz ("Russian Image", or "RO" for short), a hardcore neo-Nazi group best known for its slick journal and its band, Hook from the Right.
I understand Navalny’s Party was a minor party.
Putin’s party in the 2021 election garnered only 49% of the vote and lost about 4% compared to the prior election.
I believe the main opposition party is the Communist Party of Russia and they would probably take over in the event of Putin’s departure - retirement or otherwise.
Color revolutions, which Navalny was working with the CIA on orchestrating, are never peaceful.
People need to understand that communists never go away, they just change their political appearance to survive and prosper. World communism is their goal and that never changes, regardless their disguise.
I don’t care about him. I do care about the trumped up charges against American Donald Trump.
Leftists and globalist freaks like nikki and Lizard Cheney care more about this guy. The more trash like those two, along with RATs, scream about Navalny, the more I believe he was a CIA asset trying to get a color revolution going in Russia.
