LegalEntity:notes | The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is a white-supremacist group founded by Stanislav Vorobyov in 2002. The group promotes ethnic Russian nationalism and seeks to fuel white supremacy extremism in the West. It provides paramilitary training to Russian nationals and to members of like-minded organisations from other countries. Its armed wing, the Imperial Legion, is actively fighting on behalf of the Russian armed forces in Russia’s war against Ukraine. On its official webpage, the Movement identifies ‘fighting in Ukraine against the Uniates and Pagans, who are the backbone of the Ukrainian armed forces’ as one of its main endeavours. Therefore, the Russian Imperial Movement is supporting materially actions which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-58932 | ||||
