🇷🇺 neo-Nazi "Russkiy Styag" performing a concert for children in Donbass.
"Another cultural-humanitarian mission took place in Donbass. Nearly three tons of goods for needy groups of citizens: stationery and sports equipment for the children."🧵👇
2) "And, of course, a concert for students and teaching staff. Huge thanks to everyone who took part in the preparation and realization of this trip. Glory to Russia!"
3) Since the beginning of the war against Ukraine, they have appeared in front of Russian units. Sometimes in front of the neo-Nazi unit "Rusich", sometimes in front of the neo-Nazi unit "Espanola", but also in front of the regular 106th Reconnaissance Unit "Moscow".
4) The 106th Airborne Division "Moscow" is a regular part of the Russian army and comprised of hooligans and right-wing guys. That's why "Russkiy Styag", White Supremacist Mikhail Mavashi and his right wing extremist 'Northern Man' Association support them.
5) Here is the singer Eugen with the neo-Nazi Yan Petrovsky, one of the founders of the Rusich Unity. Below are a few more milestones from the history. Petrovsky was currently arrested in Finland.
6) "Russkiy Styag" is a well-known neo-Nazi band that has been prominent in Russian far-right and Nazi networks for many years, but also beyond. They have also performed with the former German neo-Nazi, Jan-Peter, and recorded songs together.
7) Here they are at an event from 10 years ago, organized by the neo-Nazi Valentina Bobrova.
She's the woman with the green scarf, back then masquerading under the guise of a green party named "Green Ribbon", hijacking the protests against nickel mining for her far-right agenda.
8) It is relatively easy to see that behind Valentina Bobrova and her "Green Ribbon" Party, there was a neo-Nazi agenda.
This network expanded over the years, and "Russkiy Styag" has always been a part of it.
9) The singer from "Russkiy Styag" (Eugen) at an event in 2019 with the neo-Nazi couple Valentina Bobrova & Mikhail Ochkin.
Meanwhile, Valentina's eldest daughter was wearing the shirt with "88" on it.
3 months after this photo was taken, Andrei Bely murdered a Kyrgyz worker.
10) Andrey Erin, best friend of the murderer & at that time youth leader of the neo-Nazi organization from Bobrova and Ochkin, was part of the team that, under the project leadership of the German communist Liane Kilinc, loaded "humanitarian goods" for Donbass that same year.

1/8) Boris Goncharenko taught philosophy, history, and social studies, was interested in politics, and observed elections.
After the start of a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, he was very concerned about the fate of his students who might be called to the front.
2/8) In October 2022, Boris and another suspect, Bogdan Abdurakhmanov, were arrested in Goryachy Klyuch, Russia for allegedly setting fire to a military recruitment center. They were charged with "attempted destruction of property."
3/8) However, the FSB took over the "investigation" and implicated Goncharenko in a "terrorist act." He now faces up to 20 years in prison. Boris has been held in pre-trial detention for almost ten months.
1) On May 11th, a transport funded by the German association FBKO (Friedensbrücke - Kriegsopferhilfe e.V. / Peace Bridge - War Victims Aid e.V.) headed to Donbass.
Alongside humanitarian aid for civilians, supplies were also delivered to 🇷🇺 military units once more.
🧵👇
2) If you're not familiar with the 🇩🇪 organization "Friedensbrücke - Kriegsopferhilfe e.V." (FBKO) and its collaborations with 🇷🇺 organizations, I recommend reading this article by The Insider. It includes parts from my earlier research on the subject.
3) Side note: It was an anniversary transport for both "Peace Bridge" (FBKO) and their partner "Moscow-Donbass". Each organization counts differently. For the German organization, it was their 60th transport, while for the Russian partner organization, it was their 55th.
1) A few months ago, I came across a Brazilian branch of the Russian neo-Nazi organization 'Russia's National Unity' (RNU).
It is a small but official branch with apparent connections to 'Combat 18' and the 'Aryan Strikeforce'.
(Pixelations all by me)
2) The official RNU VK reposted a well-known far-right channel, which featured a Phil Pugnator from Brazil who would support the RNU and 'Rusich'.
3) I searched for Phil Pugnator and found another, but this time unofficial, RNU Brazil profile on VK. On this profile, the now-deleted Phil Pugnator left interesting pictures.
I read that Denis Nikitin, at the 'Russian Volunteer Corps' press conference, said his motivation was a friend killed in Russian jail.
Possibly he ment the neo-Nazi Tesak (Martsinkevich)? Did Nikitin clarify who he was referring to?
He has spoken in the past frequently about Tesak and apparently used the same statement there that he was "tortured and killed".
As much as Putin's system affects all people who oppose the Kremlin, it is crucial in every case to question individuals like Denis Nikitin and their stories. Maxim "Tesak" Martsinkevich was the founder of the murderous neo-Nazi gang "Format 18". They tortured and killed people.
1) The "Russian Volunteer Corps" emphasizes that they have no affiliation with the initiatives of the @civic_council or @iponomarev who would appropriate their achievements for himself.
Also, they would adhere to right-conservative political views & traditionalist beliefs 🧵👇
2) Ponomarev has been making unsuccessful attempts to win favor with the RVC for a long time. The RVC refused to sign the "Irpen Declaration" in 2022 and does not recognize the white-blue-white colors. They insist on using a symbol based on the NS collaborator Viktor Larionov.
3) @civic_council mentions the RVC as one of its members & promotes them. They claim to recruit for the RVC. In the above statement, the RVC refers to a post by the Council, in which they announce working together with the Left. This does not sit well with the RVC.
