There are a lot of white supremacist groups in there, which is ironic considering that they accuse Ukraine of doing it. Not saying they don't, but Russia has far more of them. Needless to say, just like Hungary, they are also a believer in conspiracy theories (Soros, Jews killed Christ, they are trying to take over, etc.) It's ironic because many of the leaders of the Soviet empire, which they want to recreate, were Jewish. Heck, Karl Marx was of Dutch-Jewish decent.
