For example Partizan
Konev and grouping “Stolz” — not the most well-known representatives of the nationalist movement in the far East. So, in a series of attacks on police officers and drug dealers accused of “Primorsky partisans”. Group intensified after in April 2009 in Moscow police major Denis Yevsyukov opened fire in a supermarket “Island”. The task of “partisans” called to combat “isokoski gang.” Two of the alleged members of the group Andrei Sukhorada and Alexander Sweet was killed in June 2010, when security forces stormed their apartment; the other convicted of murder, encroachment on the lives of government officials, arms trafficking, car theft and other crimes.
“Partisans” was considered a neo-Nazi group; in particular, Sukhorada was formerly a member of the banned National Bolshevik party. However, other members of the group Alexander Kovtun and Roman Savchenko, being in a detention center in Vladivostok, had converted to Islam; Kovtun in his open letter called this religion “the salvation for all people.”
“The case of the “Primorsky partisans” special, because almost all members of the group were without any political background. But this fellow is clearly background is. Of assaults on police (the FSB is exotic) was plenty just from the extreme right, because it is hostile to the system. It is absolutely not unusual, and the far East nothing here stands out. What is unusual is that in these attacks there was quite a long break, it was still prevalent five years ago”, — told RBC Director of the information analytical center “Sova” Alexander Verkhovsky.
“There is a known phenomenon that many ultra-disappointed in his performance because you can’t see in it prospects, and they begin to feel that the future belongs to radical Islam. There is a noticeable number of cases where ultra-peroxide radical Islamists,” — said Verkhovsky. He cited the example of the story of Kirill Prisyazhnyuk, which is part of the St. Petersburg neo-Nazi group “Nevograd”: in prison he became an Islamist after his release he left the Caucasus and married a Muslim. In the end, he was detained on the Turkish-Syrian border in December 2016 received 4 years in prison for recruiting in the banned “Islamic state”.
