Although RNU supports Russian officers who were accused and tried for alleged atrocities in Chechnya against civil population, and organizes meetings and public advocacy for them, many view the position of RNU as pro-Islamic. The main principle of the organization is anti-Semitism and as such, it supports Islamic anti-Semitic activities, including full support for Arab nationalists in fight against Israel. It also had close ties with extremely-antisemitic "Russian Islamic Committee". The aim of the party is to expulse all Jews to Israel and then destroy the state and push all Jews into the sea.

Despite the extreme anti-Semitism, the organization cannot be called extremely anti-American or anti-Western (even its official website is hosted in the United States). Many followers speak English, German, and other Western and Asian languages.

RNU largely conducts work with youth, mostly hidden, educating them in an anti-semitic manner. Regular lectures, classes, demonstrations of films, and physical training take place. The instructors dispel naive nationalist, racist, anti-Islamic and anti-Semitic views of young followers, providing well-established ideology instead.

For example, the instructors do not describe the "Protocols of Elders of Zion" as authoritative document; just the opposite, they recognize it as marked up, making the views of the followers less vulnerable to anti-fascist arguments. Israeli and Jewish press, as well as liberal analysts are also allowed and sometimes recommended for reading not only in negative aspect, so for those who do not know the ideology of RNU, the organization may not seem antisemitic at first glance.

A signicant principle of the organization is relative freedom in political and religious views and discussions of the followers. For example, followers can be supporters of Hitler or Stalin, be anti- or pro-Western, be Orthodox, neo-Paganist, Buddhist or Muslim. Often an instructor watches over followers' discussion, allowing their anti-Semitic views to develop freely and intervenes strictly to avoid some mistakes in understanding of the party's ideology, or to turn the discussion in proper direction.

There is also a variety of work with businesses, state officials, military and secret services. The supporting businessmen are awarded certificates of merit and other honours. The organization's tactic is to avoid direct violence of the law at present stage of fight. There were even instances when officials allowed RNU to take part in street patrol and other collaborations with the police; military training facilities were also used. Often state and industrial officials give RNU places for meetings, such as conference-halls, help to print literature, make uniforms with industrial standards, make badges, stickers, buckletes, copy CDs and video cassetes and other materials. Several arts of war classes with RNU instructors associated with state schools were opened.

[edit] This article is in desperate need of editing

This article has a pro-fascist bias, which as well as being unpleasant is also contrary to the neutrality policy of Wikipedia. If someone can adjust this, please do! 87.127.137.165 19:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not neutral

The article har obviously been rewritten by someone who's pro-nazi. It should be locked from further editing until someone cleans it up or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skickahit10 (talk • contribs) 14:34, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Someone seems to have added what was probably a poor translation of a symphasizer's biography of the organization as the 'history' section. Lot of praise from neo-nazi's for it [1]. Nimmo 10:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
