Racist, but also a statist?

at a coordinating meeting On November 8, 2005, of the heads of law enforcement agencies of the Voronezh region, the security forces officially admitted that two informal youth groups, the White Patrol and the Vityazi, were involved in the murder of a Peruvian student.

Both groups are known to law enforcement agencies, but so far they allegedly did not show any inclination to extremist activities. In particular, one of the participants in the meeting (unfortunately, we did not have time to write down his name during the TV report) said that before the murder, there was nothing wrong with the actions of the “Vityazi”: the “Vityazi” support statehood, fight the spread of drugs, " said He.

A similar statement is reproduced by Kommersant v Chernozemye. The deputy head of the FSB, Gennady Boev, said that "... we did not expect this from the Vityaz and the White Patrol, the guys united on a good basis - to play sports and fight drugs . "

But at the same meeting it turned out that this year the regional prosecutor's office at least once refused to initiate a criminal case on the fact of neo-Nazi propaganda. Vyacheslav Bezborodov, the first deputy head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, reminded those present that "recently, militiamen confiscated recordings with propaganda of the skinhead movement and songs "obviously inciting ethnic hatred" from a certain businessman Bugaev, but the Leninsky district prosecutor's office refused to respond to the businessman's activities.
