S K Duncan says
Under the Soviet Union, Right Wing Extremists were not tolerated and viewed as a threat to the multi-racial, multi-cultural nation.
Now under democracy, right wing groups have grown and are free to distribute their propaganda of hate and intolerance under the Russian Constitution that insures Freedom of Speech and Freedom to publish anything.
Who do these groups hate? Russia, according to the CIA Factbook, is a North Asian nation that spans the fringes of Eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean bordering China and Korea, and all the way to Southern Caucasus. It seems that the Caucasians (not what you think are Caucasians, but the people who populate Russia's Caucasus region) are a target of hate. Jews, Muslims and non-Christians are also targets of hate. The Russian government has been cracking-down on hate crimes, but it must tread carefully since hate-speech and hate-literature is protected by their Constitution.
During the Soviet Union, foreign students from Africa and Middle East attended their universities in the late 1940's and 1950's…a time when blacks in America were not given equal treatment. Today in Russia, African students are sometimes targeted by Right Wing extremists.
These are fringe groups and the vast majority of Russians take pride in their multi-ethnic country. Russia has always been a nation made up of various ethnic groups and religions, it is what has made their nation stronger. So hopefully this resurgence in right wing extremism is just a trend that any democracy goes through.
