#AtomwaffenDivision: el grupo neonazi que pretendía instalarse y ‘pasar a la acción’ en España – #terror #awd

Una investigación destapa el intento de crear una célula en España de un grupo neonazi aceleracionista de origen norteamericano considerado terrorista en varios países. Compartían en sus chats instrucciones para fabricar explosivos y armas caseras — Aceleracionismo, separatismo blanco y fascinación por Al Qaeda: así son los nuevos grupos terroristas de extrema derecha. “Quizás vaya con mis amigos y devuelva Barcelona a los 90 y vaya a cortar gente con cuchillos… Hago un vídeo… Pero necesitamos aclarar… Es una de las ciudades más protegidas por los negratas, árabes, antifascistas, rojos e independentistas… Protegen esa escoria… Pero necesitamos acción”. Así se expresaba un usuario de un foro privado neonazi en 2021, llamando la atención de los investigadores que habían logrado infiltrarse en dicha red. Quien escribió esto, al igual que el resto de participantes en el foro, se escondía tras un seudónimo, pero aseguraba vivir en Barcelona y estar tratando de crear la sección española de una organización neonazi conocida como Atomwaffen Division (AWD). La detención el pasado noviembre de una célula del grupo neonazi The Base en Onda, Castelló, puso el foco sobre la amenaza en España del extremismo violento de ultraderecha de ámbito internacional, detectado, según dijeron, por primera vez en nuestro país. De acuerdo a fuentes policiales, la célula desarticulada estaba ya “en disposición de realizar atentados”, y por eso actuó rápido. The Base, que se identifica con el supremacismo blanco aceleracionista, una corriente ideológica que pretende desencadenar la guerra racial mediante la violencia armada, no era la primera organización internacional de estas características que tuvo franquicia en España. (…) AWD, igual que The Base y otros grupos similares, promueven la creación de células autónomas o “lobos solitarios” que operen por su cuenta, contra las infraestructuras del Estado y contra personas a las que consideran enemigas. Ambas son consideradas organizaciones terroristas en Canadá, Alemania o Reino Unido. (…) Bajo el pseudónimo “B.M. COMANDO Never Surrender” se esconde el individuo que llegó a fantasear en el grupo de Telegram de la delegación europea del colectivo aceleracionista (AWDE) con asesinar a cuchilladas a personas por la calle. Presume ante el resto de camaradas del chat europeo de que tiene “guerreros jóvenes y buenos”, y envía un vídeo asegurando que la célula está en marcha. Reside en Catalunya y se mueve por los entornos neonazis de la zona. Es cantante en dos bandas de Black Metal con letras abiertamente antisemitas. La imagen de presentación de una de estas bandas muestra a dos individuos armados con machetes y subfusiles, con la máscara de calavera característica de AWD.

Russia’s far-right Espanola brigade to merge with fellow nationalist organization “Russian Community” after founder’s death

The Russian far-right volunteer unit Espanola, which announced in October that it was disbanding, will merge with another far-right organization — “Russkaya Obshchina” (lit. “Russian Community”). The news comes from Mikhail Turkanov (call sign “Pitbull”), the commander of Espanola’s assault company and a close associate of the brigade’s recently killed founder, Stanislav Orlov (call sign “Spaniard”). Turkanov told The Insider about the group’s plans. Turkanov confirmed that Orlov died on Dec. 4, as was reported on Dec. 22 by the independent outlet Astra. According to Astra, Orlov was shot dead during an attempted arrest at a dacha cooperative called Flotsky in Russian-occupied Crimea, where he had been living. Sources cited by Astra, former Espanola members among them, said law enforcement was attempting to detain Orlov on suspicion of arms trafficking and participation in an organized crime group at the time of his death. Turkanov disputes this version of events. (..) Turkanov also rejected rumors of arms and drug trafficking. “Many people spent their salaries on equipment, gear, and other needs. They fed their families, and there are no millions in their [bank] accounts. We always fought to make sure all fighters were paid what they earned,” he said. “[Orlov] fought with everyone, including generals, always standing up for the fighters. And then suddenly he would start robbing his own men? That could never have happened.” Turkanov also confirmed that another Espanola member, Ruslan Kazantsev, known by the call sign “Altai,” was indeed involved in arms trafficking. Astra previously reported that Kazantsev had been arrested. Turkanov insisted, however, that Orlov knew nothing about Kazantsev’s illicit activities. A farewell ceremony for Orlov took place Sunday, Dec. 22, at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior. As The Insider was able to confirm, “Spaniard” was buried at Dyatlovo Cemetery in the Moscow suburb of Balashikha. Among those who came to pay their respects were former Russia national football team player and Espanola member Andrei Solomatin, celebrity animal trainer Edgar Zapashny, coordinator of the Sorok Sorokov Orthodox movement Andrei Kormukhin, leader of the Union of Orthodox Banner-Bearers Igor Miroshnichenko, multiple members of the Russian Community and the Wagner private military company, and a number of football fans. In total, several thousand people attended.

Russian neo-Nazi infamous for eating a puppy sent to teach children ‘lesson in courage’ – #Rusich

Alexey Milchakov, who named Adolf Hitler as his inspiration, previously boasted about desecrating the corpses of slain Ukrainian soldiers. A Russian neo-Nazi accused of war crimes has delivered a classroom session to pupils at a secondary school in St Petersburg as part of Vladmir Putin’s “Lessons in Courage” programme. Alexey Milchakov, who established the far-right paramilitary group Rusich alongside others, has been fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine since 2014. The unit shared photographs from the school visit in the city’s Kirovsky district, where Milchakov addressed students. The programme deploys veterans from the Ukraine conflict to educational institutions across Russia, with authorities presenting it as a method for reintegrating returning soldiers into civilian life. Alexey Milchakov has been fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine since 2014 | X The investigative team Systema from RFE/RL identified the school, which posted that Rusich members had visited to discuss the war and encourage children to write letters to troops. Milchakov first gained widespread attention in 2011 when, aged 20, he recorded himself torturing, dismembering and consuming a puppy before publishing the footage online. At the time, he posted on VKontakte, the Russian social media platform, calling for the killing of “homeless people, puppies and children”. He has previously described himself openly as a Nazi and named Adolf Hitler as his inspiration.

An alleged war criminal and neo-Nazi who gained notoriety for posting photos of himself torturing and killing a puppy was sent to teach children at a Russian school. Alexey Milchakov, who co-founded the far-Right neo-Nazi paramilitary unit Rusich (DShRG), which has been fighting on the side of Russia in Ukraine since 2014, led a “Lesson in Courage” for students at a secondary school in St Petersburg’s Kirovsky district. The “Lessons in Courage” scheme has seen veterans from the war in Ukraine deployed to teach lessons in hundreds of educational institutions across Russia. It has been promoted as a socially beneficial means of reintegrating soldiers returning from the front. Milchakov rose to fame in 2011, when the then 20-year-old filmed himself torturing, dismembering and then eating a puppy before posting images online. In a post at the time on VKontakte, a Russian social network, he called for the slaughter of “homeless people, puppies and children” and also boasted about shooting anti-fascists. (…) Milchakov, who once openly described himself as a “Nazi” and called Adolf Hitler his inspiration, fought as a volunteer in the 2014 war in Donbas, where he bragged about mutilating the bodies of murdered Ukrainian soldiers. He was later linked to atrocities in Syria with the Wagner Group in 2017, before returning to Ukraine at the start of the full-scale invasion, where he published an “instruction manual” online for “disposing” of Ukrainian prisoners of war which urged soldiers to torture and kill them before selling information about their bodies to their relatives for money. Rusich in November 2025 publicly announced a “contest” with “material rewards” in cryptocurrency for fighters who sent photographs of themselves executing Ukrainian prisoners of war.

MAGA Activist Laura Loomer Says Democrats ‘Were Right’ About Some Conservatives Being Neo-Nazis: ‘It’s Kind of Undeniable’

The Trump ally and far-right provocateur’s remarks came amid growing tensions over antisemitism and Israel within conservative circles. Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and ally of Donald Trump, said Democrats “were right” about the presence of neo-Nazis within conservative circles, warning that the Republican Party risks future electoral losses if it fails to confront extremism within its ranks. In a series of posts to X on Tuesday, Dec. 23, Loomer raised concerns about what she described as a growing neo-Nazi presence on the right and urged Republicans to take a firmer stance against antisemitism and racism within the party. “Maybe some of those Democrats were right when they called some people on the so called right Nazis,” Loomer wrote. “It’s kind of undeniable at this point that we do have a neo-Nazi problem on the right.” She went on to note that ignoring the issue would lead to “bigger” losses for Republicans in both the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election. “Jew hate is not an electoral strategy,” she wrote in another post on Tuesday. “It’s sad I have to say that, but the GOP has a Nazi problem.”

Drei Viertel der Schwarzen Menschen in Deutschland erleben rassistische Hassrede

Eine neue Studie zeigt auf, wie tief das systematische Problem Rassismus in Deutschlands Gesellschaft, Behörden und Polizei liegt. Schwarze Menschen werden online und offline angegriffen – und bleiben oft damit allein, sich dagegen zu wehren. Viele Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland erleben rassistische Beleidigungen; systematischer Rassismus in der Gesellschaft ist die Basis für Fälle von Hassrede, bei denen es sich eben nicht nur um einzelne Vergehen handelt: Das ist das Ergebnis einer Studie, die das Jenaer Institut für Demokratie und Zivilgesellschaft in der vergangenen Woche veröffentlicht hat. Dieser Studie zufolge wurden drei Viertel der befragten Schwarzen Menschen mindestens einmal online rassistisch beleidigt. Aber auch in Bezug auf persönliche Begegnungen im realen Leben berichten ähnlich viele Betroffene von rassistischer „Hatespeech“, sei es auf offener Straße, in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln oder bei Freizeitaktivitäten und in Bildungseinrichtungen oder am Arbeitsplatz. Nur gut ein Drittel der Befragten gab an, noch nie rassistischen Beleidigungen durch Polizist:innen oder Sicherheitskräfte ausgesetzt gewesen zu sein, aber zwölf Prozent sagten, das „sehr häufig“, weitere 15 Prozent das „häufig“ erlebt zu haben. Ähnlich sind die Erfahrungen auch mit anderen Behörden. Grundlage der Erhebung, die 2024 unternommen wurde, war eine Umfrage durch das Demografie-Institut YouGov unter Menschen, die „sich als Schwarze, Afrodeutsche, Afrodiasporische Person“ identifizieren. Etwas mehr als 1000, von denen vier Fünftel deutsche Staatsangehörige sind, nahmen daran teil. Für Laura Dellagiacoma, Mitautorin der Studie, folgt aus deren Ergebnissen: „Rassistische Hassrede ist kein Randphänomen, sondern ein strukturelles Problem unserer gesamten Gesellschaft, die noch tief von anti-Schwarzem Rassismus geprägt ist“. Sie warnt insbesondere davor, rassistische Vorfälle als isoliertes Fehlverhalten zu betrachten: „Was viele als Einzelfälle abtun, betrifft Schwarze Menschen in nahezu allen Lebensbereichen – mit gravierenden Folgen für ihre Selbstbestimmung, gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und psychosoziale Gesundheit.“ Das gelte gerade auch für Kommunikation online, in der Schwarze Menschen ständig rassistische Anfeindungen erführen, so die Autorinnen der Studie. Schließlich sei Onlinepräsenz ein zentraler Teil des eigenen sozialen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Lebens. In all diesen Bereichen machten Schwarze Menschen die Erfahrung, nicht mit Schutz durch andere Personen, Plattformen oder staatliche Stellen rechnen zu können, sondern selbst dafür sorgen zu müssen, sich Angriffen zu entziehen. Francesca Sika Dede Puhlmann, die zweite Autorin der Studie, fordert deshalb: „Es braucht endlich politische Verantwortung: klare gesetzliche Maßnahmen gegen rassistische Hetze, eine konsequente Strafverfolgung und eine nachhaltige Förderung Schwarzer Selbstorganisationen“.

Neo-Nazi #terror group steps up US operations as FBI pulls back – #TheBase #RinaldoNazzaro

Online activity shows the Base, headed by alleged Russian asset Rinaldo Nazzaro, sees US and Ukraine as key centers. Amid high-profile arrests in its Spanish cell, the American-born and designated neo-Nazi terrorist group the Base – once a major preoccupation of FBI counter-terrorism efforts – has all but faded from US headlines. But a flurry of online activities shows the group is still active stateside and considers the US an operational nerve center. Headed by Rinaldo Nazzaro, an ex-Pentagon contractor turned alleged Russian intelligence asset, the Base has been busy of late pursuing European expansion: besides its heavily armed members in Spain, its Ukrainian wing is linked to multiple acts of terrorism inside of the country and claimed the high-profile July assassination of an intelligence officer in Kyiv. But the Base’s online footprint also paints a picture of a more careful, yet active, American presence: videos from November show masked men shooting military-style rifles and pistols in what they claim is an Appalachian forest. Another June photo, from the same Appalachian cell, shows five armed men in skull masks, holding rifles and brandishing the Base’s black flag, while a cell from the mid-Atlantic captures three members performing “sieg heil” salutes, with another from the midwest showing two men firing pistols. In the shifting political climate of the second Trump administration, where the FBI has openly rerouted resources away from investigations of far-right extremists, the Base appears free to organize and prepare for their stated objective of fomenting an armed insurgency against the US government. At the same time, its recruitment has continued to funnel through a Russia email address and has not ceased since the 2020 FBI crackdown against it. Nazzaro has also matched this new American law enforcement environment with emboldened rhetoric. “Our long-term strategic goal is to accomplish something similar to what al-Qaida and IS accomplished in Syria,” bragged Nazzaro in an audio recording he released in early December over a Russian-controlled app, reviewed by the Guardian. “Form an organized, armed insurgency to take and hold territory. And establish a white homeland which we control and govern.”

siehe auch: The FBI looked away and now this designated neo-Nazi terror cell headed by an ex-Pentagon contractor is training openly in the US This is deeply troubling. The neo-Nazi terrorist group known as the Base, once a major target for FBI counter-terrorism efforts, is openly escalating its operations and calling for an armed insurgency right here in the United States, as per The Guardian. While the group has been busy expanding its reach into Europe, new online activities show that the US remains its operational nerve center, with cells actively training and preparing for violence. The group is headed by Rinaldo Nazzaro, an ex-Pentagon contractor who is reportedly now a Russian intelligence asset. He recently released an audio recording bragging about the Base’s long-term strategic goal. Nazzaro said, “Our long-term strategic goal is to accomplish something similar to what al-Qaida and IS accomplished in Syria.” He wants to “Form an organized, armed insurgency to take and hold territory. And establish a white homeland which we control and govern.” He concluded that only two traditionally white nations possess all the necessary prerequisites for this goal: Ukraine and the United States. This isn’t just empty talk; the Base has an active footprint here. Videos released in November show masked men shooting military-style rifles and pistols in what they claim is an Appalachian forest. Another June photo from that same Appalachian cell captures five armed men in skull masks holding rifles and brandishing the Base’s black flag.
