Putin Youth: a glimpse inside the Russian "Nashi" indoctrination camps (Kasparov in drag?)

Kasparov in drag at 2:00: They mock Putin's opponents by photoshopping their faces onto the bodies of women in underweari

"Nashi" has been described as a breeding ground for racist skinheads to oppose Jews and non-Russia ethnic groups in Russia:

And then there is Nashi, the thousands-strong Kremlin youth movement that professes to fight against fascism yet attacks liberal dissidents and puts on mass parades of youths marching in uniform Putin T-shirts and doing calisthenics, in scenes reminiscent of the 1930s. A few years ago, the muckraking newspaper Novaya Gazeta published an investigative report detailing links between skinheads, Moscow police and Nashi's previous incarnation, a pro-Kremlin youth organization called Walking Together.

1. Informative, but no real surprises here

Putin is a thug. Russia is a country under communist rule; but Putin just so happens to be "a hero" to fox viewers and the network as a whole. They, and the reich wing neocons in this country don't seem to have any problem with his heavy handed tactics taking out any form of opposition; yet they scream like stuck pigs about President Obama normalizing relations with Cuba because "Castro is a brutal dictator". Such a farce.

Putin, and his party, are no fools. They understand how you stay in power. Hell, they've been doing it for the past 70 years, since the end of WWII. Keep the youth involved. Keep the police and military involved. And keep the public dumbed down.

We ran into a Russian couple in Portugal, in a restaurant that was a place I really wanted to get up and walk out of after about five minutes. The young waitress was Russian, and her family ran the place. I was trying to build up a little conversation with her, and I asked her for her thoughts on Putin. You would have thought he was the second coming of Christ or someone quite special. She wanted to eventually make it to the USA to seek her fortune. I'm guessing we have a lot of such people here already, seeking their fortune and laying low with their adoration to the great Putin.

He will die one day, and his climb to fame will end; but there will be another Putin. This is what happens when you actually "lose your freedom", my teabagger friends. You no longer have a voice, and you are pretty well controlled. We aren't far away, but we are still not quite there.

2. What would the Nazis do without state help ?

Neo-Nazi rally was organized by FBI informant

A paid FBI informant was the man behind a neo-Nazi march through the streets of Parramore that stirred up anxiety in Orlando's black community and fears of racial unrest that triggered a major police mobilization.

That revelation came Wednesday in an unrelated federal court hearing and has prompted outrage from black leaders, some of whom demanded an investigation into whether the February 2006 march was, itself, an event staged by law-enforcement agencies.

The FBI would not comment on what it knew about the involvement of its informant, 39-year-old David Gletty of Orlando, in the neo-Nazi event. In court Wednesday, an FBI agent said the bureau has paid its informant at least $20,000 during the past two years.

"Wow," Gletty said when reached by phone late Wednesday. "It is what it is. You were there in court. I can't really go into any detail now."

4. I'm wondering that, also

Skinhead Violence Rising in Russia

Beheadings posted on the Internet used to be a trademark of Chechen separatists in this part of the world. But on August 12 a video surfaced on several neo-Nazi Russian websites showing the brutal execution of two men from ethnic groups frequently targeted by Russia's ultranationalists--one of whom had his head sawn off with what appeared to be a Russian army knife.

Both victims came from southern Muslim regions: one from Tajikistan, the other from the Russian republic of Dagestan, which borders Chechnya.

The video marks the first time that neo-Nazis--in this case, a previously unknown group calling itself the National-Socialist Party of Russia--have turned to copying the sorts of radical-Islamist beheading videos that have come out of Chechnya, Pakistan and Iraq in recent years.

The three-minute clip, accompanied by a heavy metal soundtrack, was a grisly late-summer addition to what has been a banner year for skinhead violence in Russia. According to Sova, a Moscow-based organization that tracks hate crimes in Russia, the recent executions push the number of race murders to more than forty. This is twice the number of race murders at this point last year.

That's where the OP's link takes you.
