Mass brawl in Tolyatti

At the end of February or the beginning of March 2006 in Tolyatti (Samara region) skinheads attacked representatives of one of the youth subcultures (apparently, "goths" or black metallers).

The attack was well organized - it involved up to 80 skinheads from four skin groups of the city - "Third Reich", "White Wolves", "Bulldog 88", "Werewolf". Unfortunately, the details of the incident, including the number of victims, are unknown. The skinheads themselves described themselves as "Orthodox skinheads fighting against Satanists" (compare with the attack on heavy music fans in Moscow).

We don't know much about the attackers. We only note that the "White Wolves" are probably a group of skinheads close to the so-called "National Patriots of Russia" (NPR), which in the Samara region is headed by Viktor Guzhov , who simultaneously heads both the Samara branch of the DPNI and the Samara branch of the People's National Party (NNP). Unlike many skinheads, the NPP and NPR do consider themselves Orthodox, not neo-pagans. It should also be noted that the original name "White Wolves" was not a group, but a military-patriotic club organized by the NPR. It is noteworthy that patriotic sports clubs are increasingly beginning to appear in reports of skinhead attacks (for example, attacks in Lipetsk and Voronezh ).

Comm. On March 14, 2006, the site "TLTnews.ru" (Tolyatti) reported that the city's police claimed that no incidents of this kind had been registered during this period of time. At the same time, the very fact of the existence of skin groups with such names in the city is refuted. However, at the same time, our center received information that confirms that there was still a fight.
