Related: About this forumPutin's Neo-Nazis Kidnap and Torture 1,500 Transsexual and Gay People
In an astounding claim, the Russian government yesterday defended a neo-Nazi group for orchestrating nearly 1,500 mostly-anti-gay kidnappings across Russia in the past 18 months.
By some estimates, 24 million Russians lost their lives to the Nazis in World War II.
The Russians, angered over a British television documentary exposing a nationwide anti-gay kidnapping ring, then denied that the neo-Nazi abductions had occurred at all, claiming that there is no proof of the crimes, even though the abductors filmed their crimes and posted them widely on Russian social media network VK.com and YouTube.
And the videos, at least on VK, but some on YouTube as well, can still be found online.
