Nizhny Tagil: Procession with imperial flags and swastikas on Hitler's birthday
On April 20, 2012, in Nizhny Tagil, on Prospekt Mira, about 50 young people marched under the imperial black-yellow-white flags and streamers with a swastika, shouting "all kinds of" slogans.
The group was accompanied by police officers who did not interfere in what was happening.
On April 25, the press service of FC Uralets stated that it was a procession of fans and participants of the Russian Runs heading to football. Neo-Nazi overtones in the statement are denied. Such a statement seems doubtful to us, given that the procession took place on Hitler's birthday, when the number of neo-Nazi actions traditionally increases. We also recall that "Russian Jogging" is a form of ultra-right street actions mastered by nationalists in 2011. Sources
