It ain't that bad. People complaining about being told to go home should be thankful that they aren't hog tied and have their head cut off. Read the article

Link below is a forum who look at military photos. They claim it's real.

Online video by Russian nationalists shows apparent execution of 2 nonwhite men - Page 2 - Military Photos


What I never knew was that Russia has a serious racial problem. Never thought about it until reading this. Follow some of the links and there are some interesting articles on the rise of Neo Nazi's in Russia.

I watched a few documentaries about militant supremacist groups in Russia. They are quite real and actually kill people under daylight. That's the scary part of going to big Russian cities especially for non-whites. A few Koreans were killed for no reason in Russia already and many suspected it was racial hate crime by such psychos.

I don't know how anyone could call Russian neo-Nazis "nationalists."

There's a few things wrong with that video or its interpretation. Neo Nazi's aren't popular in Russia. Russia has uber nationalists but they don't like Nazi's. This video is some manner of troll.

The media sells big when it flashes swastikas. There are plenty of beheading videos from Russia and the Caucus except they didn't have that lovely symbol that gets ratings. There are plenty of those videos on Ogrish or whatever its called now.

Africa is still ground zero for ethnic hate.

The serious part is...
Just like in the West, Russia is experiencing unwelcome and unwanted migration from the south. Russians have state clearly that Russia isn't land of immigration and Russia isn't encumbered by PC. I'd expect more of this.

Sadly I have now seen the video and it's rather grim.

The fact that it's a good quality shot and been put together with music and panning shots shows some effort. It was rather unpleasant watching somebody saw away with a knife for nearly 2 minutes at a mans neck.

It's interesting that some of the articles claim that the authorities don't know of the group who claim to have made the video.

For a troll it's an extreme troll. Let's hope that missseoul doesn't get any ideas.

-No they are neo-nazis. I lived there. They are skin-head, goose stepping, nut jobs who have beaten women to death. And they hang around the nazi graveyards in Petersburg.
-They are some of the scariest people you will ever meet.

Do Slavic Nazi wannabes see any kind of irony/hypocrisy in following an ideology that basically hates them? Self-loathing at its most extreme. Reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit where he plays the blind African-American member of the KKK.

They have no sense of humor, trust me. The other Russians laugh at them though. If you ever see the russian movie Brat II, there is a gun dealer named "Fascist". He is WEARING a SS uniform.

Comparing racism in Korea and Russia is a non-contest - racism in Russia is far greater problem than Korea.

My experience has been that Koreans will actively avoid Russians living in Korea - and there are a couple of hundred ethnic (white) Russians living in South Korea - who were born here - but are excluded from Korean society in many ways.

But within Russia, the government has no real incentive to stop racial incidents against Asian people (for instance) and most local militsia would eagerly deport any Asian that had any of their papers out of order.

There are neo-nazis in Russia. But some are more difficult to categorise as they are a diffuse group (eg. youth in the National Bolsheviks for instance are a different species entirely to skinhead groups).

On a side note, did you know that SS uniforms were made by Hugo Boss? They were sharp too!

Someone needs to teach Koreans that the N-word is impolite.

Negga this and negga that. I'm tempted to really go off on the next Korean who says negga to me .

The same way they called Nationalsozialismus 'Nazi' for short.
