The Slavic Union (Russian: Славянский Союз, Slavyanskiy Soyuz) is a Russian Neo-Nazi movement that was banned in 2010.
The Slavic Union was founded in September 1999. The founder of the organization is Dmitry Demushkin.
The group's website, in Russian, links to extensive material on Holocaust denial and to works by Adolf Hitler. Its organizational logo is a stylized swastika and the group's initials, "SS" in Russian, are the same as those used by the German Schutzstaffel during World War II.
The Slavic Union was banned by the Moscow City Court on April 27, 2010 following charges by prosecutors that the group promoted a national supremacist ideology similar to that of Nazi Germany. Responding to the ban on April 27, Dyomushkin noted that the Slavic Union had been "banned all across Russia" and indicated that an appeal to higher legal authority of the organization's prohibition would "definitely" be forthcoming. Since then, the group has remained active underground.
