Default US designates Russia white supremacists as terrorist group

US designates Russia white supremacists as terrorist group

April 7, 2020

The US Department of State on Monday designated the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) as global terrorists, the first time that the department has designated a racially or ethnically motivated terrorist group.

RIM is a terrorist group that provides paramilitary-style training to neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and it plays a prominent role in trying to rally like-minded Europeans and Americans into a common front against their perceived enemies. RIM has two training facilities in St. Petersburg, Russia, which likely are being used for woodland and urban assault, tactical weapons and hand-to-hand combat training.
