But then they were Germans, and now we talk about Russians who got invloved in this ideology. In nowadays sad and not good russian reality, the nationalistic and fascist ideology is becoming very popular.Kreml isn't involved int this, this process is rather going on by itselfe. In Europe the lets say headquarter of neo nazism is palced in Scandinavia. There are few reasons, one of them is very liberal law, which allows "freedom of speech" and second is popularity of black metal music which is a popular tool of spreading racist ideology.
I still remember an infamous interview with Samoth,one of the most sighnificant persons in black metal movement, in one of underground zins in the mid of 90's. He was asked about the poor condition of polish black metal scene.And he asnwered,"No matter that you dont have good bands, since you are a worse race".
When it comes to the Polish, the Russians and Scandinavians aren't exactly tolerant...with the Russians in particular. It goes back many centuries. From what I know of the Black Metal scene, once they got older and stopped with the fantasy satanic cult image, they turned to Norse pride and "northern nobility". This no doubt will lead to many neo-nazi fans. It's amazing how quickly the youth in Europe forgot what fascism really is.
