I did not know about the “Nashi“. It certainly appears that Russia is going fascist. The old men are being killed off with alcohol and the young men are becoming like Nazis. If you sum up what they are doing today in Russia it makes for a very compelling argument that Russia will play out the prophecy in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 in about 10 to 20 years. The world is not becoming the wonderful utopia the liberal optimists and dominionists keep telling us is coming? Do you really wish to believe global warming is the biggest threat to earth when in reality the biggest threat by far is evil forces using willing people?

American Thinker: Ruthless Russia: “Today the Kremlin is on the offensive. It has positioned military and ex-security service personal in charge of Russian industry and all key governmental posts. It is liquidating its adversaries even across international borders, has gagged the media, suppressed civil liberties, harassed foreign diplomats, intimidated businessmen and NGOs, it’s threatened to target Europe with ABM missiles, it carried out intense cyber attacks against its neighbor, Estonia and it’s using pipeline power to shake down its near abroad and wrest the rest of Europe into line. As if that weren’t enough, an even more sinister development has arisen.

Putin has created a very sophisticated youth movement made up of over 100,000 volunteers called ‘Nashi’, much like a clone of the Nazi youth movement. It is a well-equipped, fanatical, nationalistic private army that is hostile to foreigners and to any political group opposing the Kremlin leadership. Their aggressive behavior is not only tolerated by the authorities but also even encouraged. They help re-enforce local police; wearing black attire, they aggressively beat anyone they consider hooligans or insurrectionist. “
