Are right-wing radicals uniting?

In the summer of 2005, there were reports of a number of "unifying" activities of right-wing radical groups in various regions of Russia.

On May 8, 2005, an association of national-patriotic organizations and skinhead groups called "People's Militia" was created in St. Petersburg, headed by Yuri Riverov and Yuri Belyaev. According to their statements, the “militia” unites 28 groups, but it is difficult to judge how true this information is: the same Yuri Belyaev is currently losing his supporters in the regions . Under the "Appeal", announcing the creation of the alliance, in addition to Yu. Riverov, the Chairman of the North-Western branch of the Military-Soviet Union of Russia N. Petrov signed. The "militias" themselves claim that the "Appeal" was also signed by Sergei Baburin.

In August 2005, the first congress of the Russian Club organization took place in Vladivostok. From the city public organization of the same name, the "Organization of National Revival - "Russian Club" was created, uniting five national-patriotic organizations, including those from the Amur Region and the Khabarovsk Territory. 55 people participated in the event.

For September 2005, in the city of Pokrov, Vladimir Region, a certain World Council of Orthodox Forces is planned to be held, organized by the Russian National Council of I. Artemov (the RONS itself calls this event "the creation of a popular front against the oligarchic dictatorship" ).
