@petefrys545 I don't know where you're from, but Nazi-, Fascist-, White Power-, Nationalist groups started growing all over central and eastern Europe very quickly after the wall fell. I remember this clearly on a visit to Budapest in 1992, where I was faced with some of those people. Widespread youth unemployment and a general feeling of despair led some young men to join these movements. This was, and is, a trend we saw all over the east, including in Russia. Fortunately, these groups are generally a small minority everywhere, including in Ukraine.
As for Russia, I don't expect the Russian authorities to clamp down on these groups because they often serve the governments interests. Russia is a spiritually rotten wasteland, let's just make that clear.
