The Combat Terrorist Organization (Russian: Боевая террористическая организация) was a short-lived Russian neo-Nazi gang active from 9 August 2003 to 2006. It was formed in Saint Petersburg by two members of the Mad Crowd [ru] skinhead group, namely, Dmitry Borovikov and Alexey Voyevodin.
The gang used exceptional secrecy to hide their activities. In contrast to other neo-fascist groups, there were no skinheads among its members. The group also used exclusively confidential mobile phones to communicate. Authorities also discovered that they met very rarely in the open and avoided talking about ideology or tactics near power sockets, preferring to write their words on paper.
On June 14, 2011, the trial of eight members of the group began, with member Pavel Rumyantsev tried separately.
Ideology
The gang's main symbol was the swastika. By means of murder and terrorism, Dmitry Borovikov waged a campaign "to clear" St. Petersburg ("Nevograd") of non-white races such as Black, Armenoid, and Asians, who "fuck Russian women" and "by that profane race, give birth to bastards." His dream was allegedly to overthrow "the JewishRussian Federation" and turn it into a monoethnic "Nordic Russia." The group sharply criticised Christianity while promoting neo-pagan ideology as an alternative. The group also introduced a propaganda that focused on the value of a healthy lifestyle and refusal of alcohol and drugs. Most members of the group were convinced hardline straight edgers. The group issued fanzines with titles such as Kill or To Be Killed, Straight Edge - Шторм Чистой Крови, Гнев Перуна, Smell of Hatred.
Voyevodin, one of the gang's leaders, inherited two apartments when his mother and grandmother died. He sold one and used the money to buy a car, 4 Saiga carbines, and radio sets to listen to police radio.
