Organization:notes | The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is an ideologically motivated violent extremist, nationalist group formed in 2002 and based in Russia, that has advocated for a return to Tsarist Russia and sought to create a mono-ethnic state led by a Russian autocratic monarchy. RIM's ideology is white supremacist, monarchist, ultra-nationalist, pro-Russian Orthodox, and antisemitic. Its members espouse xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist and anti-LGBTQ+ views. Group members and sympathizers have been linked to violent activity outside of Russia, and have sought to build ties to neo-Nazi organizations in Europe and the U.S. to offer them paramilitary training and bomb making instructions. In 2015, RIM co-founded the World National Conservative Movement (WNCM), a transnational movement ideologically aligned against the Western principles of 'liberalism, multiculturalism and tolerance, according to its own manifesto. RIM leaders intended the WNCM to facilitate the sharing of tactical skills across peer organizations and promote their own paramilitary training program. Furthermore, RIM has donated money to foreign neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups associated with the WNCM and provided training to members who have carried out bomb plots in their own countries. In 2016, RIM provided training to two Swedes who then bombed a bookstore café, a refugee shelter, and a campground that housed asylum seekers. RIM's paramilitary faction has also been present in conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Libya. RIM continues to train and sent fighters to Ukraine through its paramilitary faction, the Russian Imperial Legion, to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-511-russian-imperial-movement | ||||
