The neo-Nazi movement claimed responsibility for the arson of the Muslim center in Serpukhov
The police opened a criminal case on the arson of the Muslim center "Nur" in Serpukhov near Moscow. The "autonomous combat group" of the banned neo-Nazi movement NS/WP Crew in Russia took responsibility for what had happened.
Surveillance cameras captured two young people climbing over the fence of the center. One of them was wearing a Santa Claus hat - a common attribute of the participants of the NS/WP movement. Earlier, in clown masks, they committed murders motivated by national hatred.
According to the human rights center "Sova", from November 25 to December 1, 2024, new videos with nationalist actions appeared in ultra-right Telegram channels. Attacks on people of "non-Slavic appearance" were recorded on them. The authors often called victims of violence drug addicts. For example, on November 27, a video was published showing the burning of a car with an Arabic elm sticker on it in Serpukhov. On November 28, footage appeared showing the kiosk being set on fire, which was called "Churbansky" in the description. Later, two videos with acts of vandalism were published. One shows how an ultra-rightist smashes several windows in a kiosk, accompanying his actions with the cry "Glory to Russia!". On December 1, a collection with cut-out wheels of three cars appeared. In the description, it is stated that all the cars were with Dagestani license plates. In addition, the participants of the action recorded the damage to the wheels with Kyrgyz license plates.
